Explore the Compelling Evidence of Past Life Memories in Young Children
For the past forty years, doctors at the University of Virginia Medical Center have conducted groundbreaking research into young children's reports of past-life memories. Dr. Ian Stevenson, the founder of this work, has always written for a scientific audience. Now, in Life Before Life, Dr. Jim B. Tucker, a child psychiatrist who currently directs the research, shares these remarkable studies with the general public for the first time.
Children who report past-life memories typically begin talking spontaneously about a previous life at the age of two or three. Some recall the life of a deceased family member, while others describe the life of a stranger. They recount astonishing details about previous family members, events, and even the way they died. Many of these children have birthmarks that match wounds on the deceased individual's body.
Dr. Tucker and his colleagues have rigorously investigated more than 2,500 cases, and their findings have been praised by the Journal of the American Medical Association as "difficult to explain on any other grounds." Life Before Life explores the various facets of this fascinating phenomenon, presenting cases from all over the world that offer persuasive evidence of reincarnation.
This book has the potential to challenge and ultimately transform our understanding of life and death. Sharing these incredible stories in a straightforward, scientific manner, Dr. Tucker invites readers to explore the evidence and reach their own conclusions about the significance of these extraordinary tales of past lives.
