By Joanie Eisinger
I was enthralled by Your Soul's Gift - the power of the presentation and the enormously valuable information found within. It is a true masterpiece.
Schwartz begins by sharing what motivated him to write the book: "For millennia humanity has learned through suffering. If we want to move beyond the learning-through-suffering paradigm, then such an understanding [of how lives are planned] is essential." And further: "To bring an awareness . . . of soul planning into the collective consciousness so we can heal the wounded parts of ourselves . . . and in doing so bring an end to incest, rape, and other forms of violation."
A bit later, before the main body of work, Schwartz introduces himself, penning the trials he planned before birth and how his prayers were answered in his current lifetime. How powerful it is when an author shares his story of awakening with the reader! Yes, we learn volumes from those whose stories he tells, yet it is especially moving when we see who an author truly is in spirit.
Your Soul's Gift is presented thoughtfully. The people presented in each chapter experience a different life challenge. Schwartz introduces the topic at hand and then skillfully talks with each person about their experience. Channeled information then sheds light on the life challenge and why it was planned before birth. The mediums and their guides share insights and offer very valuable suggestions as to how one can work through these situations to heal and find peace. Schwartz concludes each chapter, masterfully bringing together points that were raised, adding more insights and depth to the material covered. It's beautifully written and deeply inspiring.
Many terms and concepts are introduced and discussed. We learn about free will, vibration or frequency, karma, being of service to others, the three layers of the soul, learning by contrast or opposites, the process of pre-birth planning, forgiveness work, how to heal traumatic wounds, and old and younger souls. Explanations are easy to grasp, and one is left with a greater understanding of and appreciation for the soul's journey.
The chapters are brilliantly positioned. There is an ebb and flow to the poignant stories; the reader is given respites between high intensity moments. Schwartz uses intellect and heart to create a flowing piece that does not overwhelm, but instead threads hope, succor, and inspiration throughout the material.
As each interviewee becomes enlightened by the information brought forth through the mediums' sessions, so, too, does the reader who sits in Schwartz's "classroom," where sensitive material is examined and discussed. The reader is privy to such intimate sessions and learns so much from the courageous people in the book. These individuals rose to share their trials so they could heal themselves and those who would read Your Soul's Gift.
Schwartz suggests the reader ask this question: "If I planned this experience before I was born, why would I have done that?" He explains that this query encourages expansion of consciousness. He teaches us that all souls are equal partners agreeing to incarnate for their respective growth opportunities. He invites acceptance of pre-birth planning, which enables us to release blame and judgment of others. Embracing pre-birth planning also offers meaning to life; otherwise, the events of our lives are random and often seemingly useless. Schwartz suggests that if we move from passive, victim consciousness to that of active soul participant, we can relate to our fellow souls with greater compassion, understanding, and Love.
I was very moved while reading Chapter 3, the story of Rebecca, who experienced a miscarriage. I wept, smiled, and remembered the miscarriage I had in 1997. Because I embrace the concept of planning at the soul level, the tears were sweet. I was inspired by the detailed account of the fetus being "the angel in human form."
In Chapter 8 Schwartz dares to explore the pre-birth planning of incest. This is perhaps the most powerful chapter, deserving a second read through. I consider sharing something this controversial to be an act of bravery.
Later in the book, Schwartz writes, "It is the awareness of pre-birth planning that can ultimately illuminate one to remember their soul's light, who they truly are." As I gleaned new information that expanded my spiritual knowledge, I felt reassured and comforted that the traumatic events I have experienced were not for naught; they were, in fact, pre-planned "gifts." To be reminded that we are not alone, that we are part of a soul group, that guides watch over us, and that we are all united as a Heavenly family brings me great joy. This book touched my soul, and I am deeply grateful.
I would encourage people to consider this book for their personal healing. For you are not just a passive recipient of information here; you are a soul undergoing transformation. Your Soul's Gift overflows with wisdom for healing present and past-life traumatic events. Schwartz writes, "Your soul . . . longs to integrate its unhealed aspects." If you embrace this idea before sitting down with the book, you will release hidden, unresolved issues more readily. This book is a powerful catalyst for change, helping you move to new vistas.
I highly recommend Your Soul's Gift. It's a gift to, and from, your soul.

Robert Schwartz enlightens and inspires us with the rich, clear, and profound information his research has created.
Schwartz interviews individuals who experienced a variety of life challenges, and he recounts their stories with tenderness. He then investigates their pre-birth plans with four exceptional mediums and channels, asking questions of the mediums and Spirit that the reader might ask if given the opportunity.
In one session, for example, Schwartz is speaking with Jeshua (Jesus' given Hebrew name, pronounced "Yeshua") about how and why so many of us are awakening at this time in human evolution. He queries: "Jeshua, when something `bad' happens, particularly if the same thing happens more than once in a person's life . . . a spiritually awake person will take some comfort in the fact that the experience may have been planned before birth, but still the person wonders, `Why does this keep happening to me?' What would you say to that person?"
Jeshua responds: "If certain challenges happen again and again in someone's life, there is something there that the soul deeply yearns to understand or live through. It's very courageous of the soul and the personality to decide to experience this challenge repeatedly. It's important that the personality does not think it is doing something wrong or that it is being punished for something if the challenge repeats itself . . . It is important simply to know there is meaning behind it, even if you do not understand yet what it is."
The author beautifully interpreted this lesson about knowing as: "Trust is literally a carrier of light, and as light infuses our consciousness, we awaken. When we believe there is meaning in our challenges, we are demonstrating some trust in the goodness of life. Yet, when we choose to know there is meaning, we are deeply and truly trusting in that beneficence. It is then that we fully accept the light of our souls and awaken."
Robert Schwartz writes with compassion and empathy. He gently invites readers to view pre-birth agreements, healing, soul plans, past lives, free will, death, and life challenges through the captivating and insightful stories he researched. Schwartz is a clear-thinking, articulate individual with a big and awakened heart, who is committed to enlightening and inspiring others. He invites readers on a journey of a collective spiritual awakening.
Spiritual leaders encourage us to set intentions for greater physical health, emotional well-being, expanded awareness, wisdom, peace, and joy. Schwartz reveals a means to these ends. He invites us to explore our thinking and become conscious of our life choices. Your Soul's Gift is a compendium of wisdom and insights that help us understand our life challenges and live a life that has meaning and purpose.
I will never look at life the same. If you have questions about the relationships in your life, why you must bear difficult life situations, or how you can accept life challenges, this book will open your eyes to a new perspective. Your Soul's Gift deepened my understanding of and solidified my truth about one of the great mysteries of life. I highly recommend this book.

As someone who was helped tremendously by Robert Schwartz's insightful first book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, I was eager to read his second book.
My life was dramatically changed by the words that came through mediums and channels in Schwartz's first book. As a bereaved mom, my son's death shook my world to a place I could not imagine. I searched for over ten years for meaning and purpose to Scott's sudden death. In the chapter titled Death of a Loved One in Schwartz's first book, I instantly connected with the mom who was in deep grief over the loss of her son. Our children died in different ways, but the message of soul planning came through to me as a beacon of light. I was able to move through my grief to much greater understanding and trust that the deaths of our loved ones are never random.
Your Soul's Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born continues beyond Robert Schwartz's amazing first book. Here Schwartz brings more insights to us, insights that help us regain our strength and our knowing of who we are following devastating, life-changing experiences. The need to understand who we are, WHY an experience needs to be so completely all-encompassing, and why we are here flows through each chapter. Understanding that we plan our lives before we are born is somewhat abstract for many, but for me it opened up much needed, revolutionary ways of thinking. We plan our lives before we are born? Yes! Schwartz has gone beyond his first book by going into some of the most difficult and debilitating challenges anyone can experience in a lifetime. Suicide, miscarriage, rape, incest, adoption, and more open up the real meaning of soul planning. WHY would anyone plan such challenges? Each person Schwartz studied confronted their challenges so that we could learn more about their pre-birth planning. This allows us to see beyond--way beyond--what conventional thinking offers us and brings much more meaning into why we plan our lives...and we all do.
