I'm about halfway through this book, so I may update the review later. I just wanted to stick in my 2 cents early.
I was first introduced to the idea of pre-birth planning through one of Sylvia Browne's books and at that time it struck me as a very interesting and, dare I say, familiar idea. I came across a description of this book while searching for something else on amazon.com and immediately put it on my PBS wishlist. A few days ago I received my copy, direct from the author no less (though unsigned *pout*)! My nose has been stuck in it's pages since then.
Mr. Schwartz does not try to push the idea of pre-birth planning on you, he does not insist "this is how it is". He instead asks you to read what he has written with an open mind, and to read the book "with your heart". The book reads as if you are having a friendly and personal conversation with the author and the people gracious enough to supply him with their stories.
We all search for meaning in the events that happen to us, in the struggles and ailments we must endure. To entertain the idea of pre-birth planning, you must assume responsibility for the events instead of questioning/blaming/thanking a "higher power". This is a very foreign idea to most. I am enjoying this book so far because it feels like home to me, as if I'm just now understanding something that I've actually known for years. My copy of this book is going to make the rounds within my circle of family and friends, believe me. I strongly recommend it to people who would appreciate a new way of looking at life.
