Product Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?Best book I have ever read on the subject of Pre Birth Planning. So well written and easy to relate to. It has brought great healing to my life and I continue to explore all possibilities. It has certainly given me a better understanding to life and knowing that everyone is on a journey to better their soul. A must read for anyone on a spiritual path to healing.

Courageous Souls and books that discuss similar matter are being written at a time when the human race is starting to realize that we are really souls having a human experience and that the body that houses the soul is really just a vessel that is used for learning. We agree to the experience to learn to be more compassionate, learn to love and to have more fun. There are no accidents, no tragedies, only lessons. We all write our own plays, cast the characters and at any time can change the plot or characters to fit the type of life we want to experience.

I have found Courageous Souls to both confirm and validate my own experiences as well as my understanding of life's deeper purpose and meanings. This book explains in clear, simple language why "bad things happen" and why sometimes "bad things happen to good people" in a way that helps readers make sense of their own lives and make peace with their choices--however their choices were viewed by themselves or others. Janet Boyer in her review does an excellent job of summarizing the concepts in the book, so I will not repeat them here. However, I will add that applying the understandings in this book to one's own life will help one see the bigger picture, take responsibility (respond appropriately in life), and make the taking of responsibility that much easier. And once you learn the bigger picture and take responsibility for what you came here to do, the world will stop trying to awaken you through often painful crises and challenges. Taking responsibility equals personal growth, helping us become masters of our own lives, leading to greater satisfaction and peace: a new world.
I as well struggled to make sense of my own life and chronicled what I learned in my just-published book "What Everyone Believed: A Memoir of Intuition and Awakening". What I came to understand is not only that we have these pre-birth contracts (or soul agreements) with others, we now have the incredible opportunity to "congratulate ourselves for the roles that we played" not only when we're "on the other side" but right now, right here, physically on this planet. (Imagine the level of love and gratitude this will create.) We can complete the cycle of these hardships and challenges (sometimes referred to as "duality") and create a new world by bringing forth our soul potential, accessed through our intuition, our inner knowings--because it is now time for this. Living from this new consciousness is what the term "ascension" actually refers to. Then you don't feel like you want to "stop the cycle of reincarnation" (why would you want to??) because life becomes a joy. Courageous Souls is a wonderful and uplifting contribution towards this not-so-distant future.

Hopefully, this is a glimpse... February 17, 2008
into the future when such excursions with our souls will be the norm, like an annual physical. Health care systems as they exist would no longer be necessary for with such profound understanding would come self-healing and, perhaps, ultimately the need to reincarnate would end. This book provides a foundation for that process to begin as we learn nothing is as it appears and nothing stays the same and become empowered to embrace all as it is. Robert Schwartz's writing skills are exceptional!
