"Courageous Souls" may be placed alongside Brian Weiss' books in a bookstore or on a website, but it is in no way on the same level as Weiss' books, neither in content nor in readability. And stand forwarned--if you are not a big fan of amorality, this book may deeply anger you. I personally would recommend it to only two groups of readers: 1) Men who hate women. 2) Women who hate themselves, and are always sacrificing themselves, and blaming themselves for everything bad that happens.
The courageous men in this book tended to be addicted or afflicted, whereas the courageous women obviously had to suffer and sacrifice a lot more to be considered courageous. But that's not the worst of it; the worst comes in the author's star story about a woman who was an unintentional target of a mail bomb. Her injuries were horrific, and yet she recovered from the bombing, and went on to terrifically transform her life. She also stated that she "forgave" the bomber. The author then takes this story, which one assumes is actually true, and shows how there was actually nothing to "forgive". Using one of his mediums, whom he claims has the ability to retell a pre-birth planning session basically word for word, he relates a pre-birth meeting between the woman and the bomber. In this meeting, the woman is like a mommy figure trying to coax the bomber to talk to her about planning the bombing. The bomber is like a shy, quiet, misunderstood for all of eternity, little boy. He tells her he doesn't want to hurt her, he doesn't want to hurt anybody. But she convinces him that hurting her will help them both grow spiritually, and it will be an act of love, not hatred. In other words, the woman WANTED it, she ASKED for it. A woman hater's fantasy come true!
Of course, if violence against women is being justified by pre-birth planning, then violence against children is, too. Are we suppose to believe that children who get molested by perverts, for example, chose to be molested before they incarnated? And that their molestors did so out of love? If the author is suggesting this, then he should be handing out this book for free in maximum security prisons. Maybe it would offer some hope to delusional criminals!
