About this listen
Soul Survivor is the story of how the Leiningers pieced together what their son was communicating and eventually discovered that he was reliving the past life of World War II fighter pilot James Huston. As Bruce Leininger struggled to understand what was happening to his son, he also uncovered details of James Huston's life---and death---as a pilot that will fascinate military buffs everywhere.
In Soul Survivor, we are taken for a gripping ride as the Leiningers' belief system is shaken to the core and both of these families come to know a little boy who, against all odds and even in the face of true skeptics, harbors the soul of this man who died long ago.

Story
Has your child lived before? In this fascinating, controversial, and groundbreaking book, Carol Bowman reveals overwhelming evidence of past-life memories in children. Not only are such experiences real, they are far more common than most people realize. Bowman’s extraordinary investigation was sparked when her young son, Chase, described his own past-life death on a Civil War battlefield - an account so accurate it was authenticated by an expert historian. Even more astonishing, Chase’s chronic eczema and phobia of loud noises disappeared after he had recalled the memory.

A first-person account of Jim Tucker's experiences with a number of extraordinary children with memories of past lives, Return to Life focuses mostly on American cases, presenting each family's story and describing his investigation. His goal is to determine what happened-what the child has said, how the parents have reacted, whether the child's statements match the life of a particular deceased person, and whether the child could have learned such information through normal means.

This popular examination of research into children's reports of past-life memories describes a collection of 2,500 cases at the University of Virginia that investigators have carefully studied since Dr. Ian Stevenson began the work more than 40 years ago. The children usually begin talking about a past life at the age of two or three and may talk about a previous family or the way they died in a previous life. Their statements have often been found to be accurate for one particular deceased individual, and some children have recognized members of the previous family.

Story
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Initial book content jumps around too much
Like others have said. Once you get past the telling from the mother’s point of view. It’s not bad. Just keep going.
What was spoken isn’t bad. But the way the story was laid out …. jumps around too much.
Liked the story. Narrator did what he could.

The most powerful story I’ve ever read
Like most people, I was drawn to this book after watching that Primetime episode years ago. After telling the story as well as I could to many friends over the years I knew I had to finally get the book to get the entire story. So glad I did because I can’t remember a time I ever finished a book being choked up and believing that there truly is life after death. This is coming from someone that’s been staunchly agnostic for the better part of my life. Such a riveting story that really gives you no other alternative than to believe in reincarnation.

A wonderful true life story
I had heard the Leiningers on Coast to Coast AM radio. When I discovered the book on Audible I was to get it. There was no disappointment for me. I listened with rapt attention to the book. I'm a believer in reincarnation and so I didn't have the problem with the book, having read Ian Stevenson's works on the subject. I highly recommend this book.

What you need to know before buying this but… It is a fast, and terrible, good read, LOL!
What you need to know before buying this but… It is a fast, and terrible, good read, LOL! What I mean by this, is that I would recommend reading it because it is very interesting and it is a super quick read, but the book was written like someone with little to no experience in writing. Perhaps that is the case since the parents are the authors with the help of Ken Gross. It is very repetitive and has way too many silly details (including names of stores, what food was bought and made, stories about the mother’s past, etc.) that could have totally been left out of the story. I read all the one star reviews and many of the others. They all seem to be correct. I am led to assume, like many other reviewer‘s, that the publisher needed so many pages/words from them in order to publish their book and that’s why there are many things repeated and minor details in the book that could’ve been left out. This could’ve been a five star book, if it was written better.

Touching Confirmation
I remember hearing about this story years ago and always intended to read the book. After my sister passed away in 2022, I questioned my faith and the afterlife and recalled this book. After finally listening to the Audiobook, I was brought to tears several times with the shocking details and beauty of James’ story. For me it confirms we are capable of connecting with loved ones on the other side, in many different ways.
The story was great, a bit slow-moving at times, but so very interesting. It also served as a great way to memorialize all those who served on USS Natoma Bay. I found myself doing follow up research on those mentioned and the location of Futami Harbor. Truly fascinating story, glad the family shared this amazing experience.

fascinating tale; left on the fence
I'm not sure what to think about this. Narrator is good. Subject is fascinating. Writing is good...but I am left with something of a sense of having taken a very long trip down the garden path. If true, this is a compelling call for rethinking much. If untrue, it is likely an equally amazing feat of self-deception. I do not think it is a con. But I suppose it could be. My gut tells me this is likely a case of a very intelligent young boy who gathers clues like a giant antenna and assembles complex responses that please the parents. But again, I just don't know. Worth the hearing in either case.
