It has been reissued under the new title, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born (ISBN 9781583942727). 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. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Great BookJun 25, 2010
One of the best books I have ever read and it explains so much about why our lives go the way they do. It has helped me with coming to grips with relationships I have had, the death of my oldest son at such an early age and so much more. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Confirmation on a very Deep LevelJun 19, 2010
I have been on a long journey for what I thought was spiritual truth. What I have learned while reading this book was that my journey was to begin to love myself for what & who I have become. These words helped me to let go my anger and many resentments that I still was hanging on too (even though I thought I shed them years ago). This book has helped me to evolve my thinking and belief systems which were not on the same level of understanding. My soul was saying one thing but my conforming self struggled against change until I reached my understanding of who I really am. If this was meant to help you it will, if you are ready to change and grow inwardly. Otherwise, it will be meaningless until you personally are ready on many levels for truth and self empowerment.

The Soul's Central IssueJun 15, 2010
Robert Schwartz has rightly targeted an aspect of the central purpose that we, as souls, all have in our incarnation on planet Earth. This is to fulfil the tasks we have pre-chosen to do in fulfilment of the divine purpose, which is our purpose. This is to explore the nature of all that is not unconditional love so that we may understand the magnificence of love, which is the reality of Source.
The author could have chosen from a variety of life lessons. He wisely chose dramatic ones, such as addiction. The reader needs to remember, however, that much less dramatic issues, such as a mole of the face or a speaking difficulty, can be life lessons also. Robert somewhat over wrote his commentary, slowing the progress of the book, but his attention to detail is commendable. As a writer in the same field (e.g.,"Talking to Leaders of the Past") I know how how hard it is to be perfect. The author has spent his time wisely in writing a book that I will highly commend to my friends. Peter Watson Jenkins

I LOVED ITJun 13, 2010
After reading many many books and listening to many speakers,this book more than any other source satisfies my quest for the 'reason why we are here' more than any other. I have read it twice, have given away copies and recommend it highly. My daughter was very impressed with it as well.
