Book Description
The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible is the most comprehensive book available for the Logic Games section of the LSAT. The intent of this book is to provide you with an advanced system for attacking any game you encounter on the LSAT. This same system is covered in the live classes taught by PowerScore, and all of the methods and techniques discussed in the book have been tested in classroom situations over many years.
The book features and explains a detailed methodology for attacking the games section. All aspects of Logic Games are covered, from recognizing game types to diagramming rules to making inferences and answering questions. Entire chapters are devoted to the most advanced game techniques and to time management strategies.
Logic Games are divided into individual types, and a discussion follows that teaches you how to approach each type of Game, and drills are presented to help you apply and understand the techniques. Thereafter, real LSAT logic games are used to illustrate how the techniques apply to real tests. Using real LSAT questions is a must for high-level LSAT preparation, and twenty-one real LSAT logic games are contained in the book. Each logic game is accompanied by a detailed analysis of the game setup and related questions.
The author has over 12 years experience teaching the LSAT and has scored in the 99th percentile on a Law Services-administered test. An expert in LSAT preparation, he has overseen the preparation of thousands of students and founded two national LSAT preparation companies.
The Logic Games Bible can be supplemented by The Ultimate Set-Ups Guide, which features setups for every game in each released LSAT from 1995 to 2002. Also, both books provide access to a unique website for additional LSAT and Logic Games information, and has answers to frequently asked questions.

A MUST HAVE.......2007-10-05
I wish I would have purchased this book months ago! In contrast to other LSAT prep books, this one explains the Logic Games in a much more clear, concise, and easy to understand way. If you decide to use another LSAT prep book, I highly reccomend using this one to prepare your self for the Logic Games part, and skipping that part in your other LSAT prep, as this one is the best. I just took the LSAT on 9/29/07, and everything that was covered in the book, I utilized on the test!
Useful, despite being overpriced and a bit odd.......2007-09-30
The Logic Games Bible teaches techniques for diagramming games and, to a lesser extent, attacking the questions. The most useful things I picked up from the book were:
1) Never erase your work (do one master diagram at the bottom of each page and then, if necessary, do mini-diagrams the questions).
2) Diagramming numerical distributions.
3) "Hurdling the uncertainty, TM," which is an effective method of diagramming inclusion/exclusion rules when presented with rules like "A, B, and C can not all be selected at the same time."
4) Diagramming abstract sequences
It's worth noting that along the way, the book utilizes some strange conventions. For example, when diagraming a sequence where A comes before B (that is, it's in a lower numbered position) the book suggests that the following shorthand be used: A>B, that is A is greater than B. If you've taken a math class in the last decade, this is disconcerting--in practice I diagrammed all of the abstract sequences exactly opposite of the book. Also, when diagramming morning and afternoon games, the book suggested that the diagram look like this:
afternoon.|_ _ _ _ _
morning....|_ _ _ _ _
A strange reversal of morning and afternoon that is, again, off-putting to anyone who has used outlook, or even a regular calendar. These are minor quibbles, but to some extent, they make the book seem a little amateurish and undermine the reader's confidence in it.
All said, this book can be very useful if used correctly. Its well worth purchasing if you're aiming for the 170s, still have a month or two left to study, and have not taken many practice exams (I say this because there aren't that many old logic sections to go through, and it takes a decent number of practice sections to learn how to efficiently apply the techniques taught in the book). If, however, you're planning on skipping a game on the test, expect to score
<170, only have a couple of weeks before the exam, or have chugged through most of the practice exams, this will be an expensive book of little use.
Great Buying Experience.......2007-09-26
I have been looking at all the bookstores in the Atlanta area for this book. I needed it to study for my upcoming LSAT. The book was out of stock everywhere in Georgia. I simply went online to Amazon and the book arrived at my doorstep within 3 days-and it was cheaper than the bookstores! This book is an excellent tool if you are unsure about the logic games portion of the LSAT. I would recommend it to anyone, even if they feel pretty confident on logic games.
The BEST LSAT book available.......2007-09-09
I used this book as a supplement to the PowerScore classroom course, and I found the book more helpful than the actual course! When I began to work through the book my score was a 168, but I now score consistently in the 173-174 range. As I practice, I get even faster...the techniques really are superb. Just leave yourself enough time (2-3 weeks) to work through the book without rushing so that you can absorb each concept, and then leave at least 3 weeks to do your own practice, honing the techniques on actual LSATs. I've been working just the games section from one test each day, and then an entire test every 4th day.
Unless you think the games are easy, this is the most important LSAT prep book you can buy.
Worth Every Penny!!!.......2007-09-03
Before purchasing this book, I purchased both Kaplan and Princeton Review prep books and still SUCKED at the analytical reasoning/logic games section of the LSAT. I spent two weeks with this book and was able to complete every logic game accurately. I'm still working on the timing but at least I'm able to diagram the games and arrive at the correct answers, which is something I struggled with before. If you have difficulty w/ the logic games - this is the book for you!!!

The Must-Have for logical reasoning practice.......2007-08-22
I got this book and the PowerScore Logic Games Bible to self-practice for the LSAT. When it became clear that I wasn't motivated enough for self-study, I decided to take the TestMasters LSAT program, which drills LSAT questions in for 80 hours during 2 months. The good thing about the Logic Reasoning Bible is that, unlike test prep courses, it gives step by step explanations that you can go over again and again. It's more comprehensive than taking a class, where you're sitting for 4 hour blocks going over only 3-4 questions per hour. The Logic Reasoning Bible allows you to study at your own pace (recommended to study in blocks, chapter by chapter -- once you're interrupted, it's hard to go back without rereading everything). I used it in tandem with my TestMasters booklets (the two methods are pretty similar, so it's an easy conversion). I found that the LR Bible supplemented my class well, because it explained some concepts that were confusing to me, and gave some tips that weren't in my class.
The downside is that there aren't many practice questions, only 6-8 per question type (whereas taking an LSAT course usually gives you 5000 questions). If you're already taking a class, this could be a good way to refresh some concepts that you need help with. If this is your primary mode of study, buy the 10 LSAT books and PrepTests to get yourself more real questions. Also, it's imperative to study with real LSAT questions, and the LR Bible only has real LSAT questions in it. Of course, this is no breezy read, and using it as a study guide only suffices if you put the time in to study -- about 3 hrs/day two months before the test. Since the logical reasoning sections are 50% of the test, and arguably the hardest questions on the test, you benefit greatly from learning techniques to shave down the amount of time it takes you per question on the test.
However, PRACTICE IS KEY. No book is going to be a miracle if you don't put the time into studying. Logical reasoning is tough, and if it's not your strong spot, this book can break down some of the mental blocks you might have. Definitely better than the other books out there (I've also browsed Princeton Review, Kaplan, Kaplan LSAT 180).
The PowerScore LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible: A Comprehensive System for Attacking the Logical Reasoning Section of the LSAT.......2007-08-02
Thank you for writing me, sad to say i have not receive my order as of to date.
Words don't explain how good this book is!!!.......2007-07-07
I was having a hard time on the LR section of the LSAT...a really hard time. I scored well on the AR and the RC sections, but my LR was very, very bad. I was getting 10 or so wrong on every section...without staying in the time frame! This book helped me go from 10 wrong to 2 and cut my time down from an hour to 30 min. Studying for the LSAT is hard and it can be depressing when you just can't seem to improve your score. BUY THIS BOOK. It not only helps your score, but you confidence as well.
Before this book I was getting a 157 -- After this book; a 170 (top score 173).
Great Study Guide.......2007-06-25
This book is not a casual read. You can not skim through it and expect to see great results. If, however, you are seriously studying for the LSAT and are prepared to devote some time to this book you will find it extremely helpful.
I found the insight into the way the questions are developed especially useful. Now that I am able to better understand how the questions are being developed I am better able to discern the correct answers and even spot common incorrect ones very quickly.
This is a great book and I found it the single most helpful item in my preparation for the LSAT. I was able to raise my practice scores from the low 160's to the middle to upper 160's- I find that to be a significant increase. I'm pleased with the results.
Excellent comprehensive explanations........2007-04-05
This book covers every type of LR question featured on the LSAT and goes over them in great detail. Though I feel lots of LR is just intuitive, I did learn quite a few helpful tips and tricks from this book.
The downside is that the proportion of the book that is actually practice questions is small, almost disappointingly so.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. The thoroughness of its instruction is unmatchable.

Great!!!!.......2007-08-02
The book I received was in great condition. Also I received it in a timely fashion.
Good but not good enough.......2007-06-20
The Good: contains great strategy for approaching the logical reasoning, and Reading comprehension sections as well as some good food for thought on writing your essay.
The Bad: The logical analysis section of the actual LSAT is much more difficult than the logical analysis section of any of the Kaplan sample problems or sample tests. I took the LSAT a week ago and ended up cancelling my score because I was unable to answer a third of the questions in that section in the time alloted even though I did well on the practice tests in this book. Do not take the advice given here about scanning all the problems in the section before starting. This is a complete waste of precious time. Practice as much as possible and when you're taking the test, start working immediately!
Overall, great prep for most of the LSAT, I'm going to seek out another book or two to help me with the logical analysis section, as well as ordering the next 10 LSATs from lsac for practice.
Great Prep Tool.......2007-05-14
I love this prep book. It gives great strategy tips and has great practice tests. I'm taking the LSAT in June so I won't know how well this has prepped me until July but I think it is worth the buy. the CD is great and you have access to online content only from Kaplan. they even have a free practice test that you sign up for online where you go to their local kaplan center and sit for a practice exam that is scored. That is awesome.
Kaplan LSAT Study Book.......2007-01-05
The Kaplan LSAT study guide is comprehensive. It is a great tool from the start of your LSAT journey even up to giving tips about how to apply to law school afterwards. I would recommend using it in addition to the Logic Games Bible, which breaks down the process, but the Kaplan book is a good investment. There are plenty of practice problems in the Kplan and explainations which is key.
Not Mac Friendly.......2006-09-08
While I find the contents of the book sufficient, I am peeved that no mention was made of the CD being Windows only. I specifically purchased this book over some other choices, because I thought the CD would be a valuable supplement. If you don't have access to Windows or were planning to study on a Macintosh or Unix box, then save the additional cost and do not buy this book as it is available for less without the CD.
Updated 9/29/06: Tomorrow is the big test. Between this book, Cracking the LSAT by the Princeton Review and LSAC's published tests, I'm about as prepared as I can be. I found the information in this book useful, although they give themselves too much credit by claiming some tips as "Kaplan Exclusives" when they aren't, in fact, exclusive.
I borrowed a Windows computer to use the disk and found the tests quite helpful in that they timed me and kept track of my strengths and weaknesses, which I think is very beneficial. A neat feature is that one can cross out answers that aren't correct when doing process of elimination, just like one can on paper tests.
One thing, though, is that last night while taking a test, the application crashed right after I finished and did not save my answers. Ugh!
I'm not sure which I liked better, Kaplan or Princeton Review, as they're both good and I don't think you could go wrong with either. Or, like me, you could buy both if you have enough time before the test.
Oh yeah, good luck and see ya in court!

Selected as workbook for UC Santa Cruz class.......2007-01-04
For the future presentations of the University of California Extension Sarbanes-Oxley class, we selected this volume and CDROM as the workbook. The earlier textbook was too high-level and theoretical. The head of the Finance and Accounting department was quick to approve the change. The participants in the class include both accounting and IT professionals; they will appreciate the very practical nature of this volume.
Toolkit That More Than Pays for Itself.......2005-09-20
One of the unintended consequences of subscribing to a Sarbanes-Oxley Listserv is seeing how many auditors, and companies, are struggling with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There has been a lot of uncertainty for auditors, and companies, as what is required and how to go about setting up an effective audit plan and making compliance repeatable, sustainable reality. I have seen more calls of help for toolsets in this Listserv than I wish there were, but that has been the reality. However, there is now an outstanding resource to help external, internal auditors, and companies get their acts together by streamlining the 404 compliance process.
Michael Ramos, author of the excellent "How to Comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404: Assessing the Effectiveness of Internal Control", has now written "The Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 Implementation Toolkit: Practice Aids for Managers and Auditors" (357 pages, John Wiley and Sons, 2005, ISBN 0471712256. This is not a book to sit down and read. This is a book that, from cover to cover, provides worksheets, sample documents, and decision criteria for their use. It is a book that comes with a CD-ROM of the entire documentation contents that will more than pay for itself from the first day you have it in your hands.
It is hard to look at a book like this and say "I like or do not like what the author has to say", or that "I really like the author's writing style". What you need to look at in deciding whether or not to purchase this book, is a series of questions.
Do you have to conduct Section 404 audits as part of an external audit or as part of a control self-assessment? Do you need ready to go and completely customizable templates to help you in this process? Do you want to use tools developed by an experienced Certified Public Accountant, instead of having to sit down and spend days on end developing your own toolsets and work paper templates? How much non-billable time are you willing to spend developing these tools? Do you want an easy to understand methodology that can easily be taught and passed on to other employees as part of a knowledge transfer and enablement program?
If you are like me, these questions will give you the easy answer of "Yes!". All of the documents provided on the CD ROM are in word format, and the disk also contains a Microsoft Word document viewer and a copy of Open Office. Each form comes with a purpose statement to understand its use, as well as instructions on how to use them. Ramos starts with the general work program and takes the process all the way to the end with management reports. There is also a sample general audit program.
Who Should Read This Book
The purchase of this book should be a no-brainer for internal and external auditors, managers, and consultants doing SarBox work. I add this latter group because there are too many consultants out there who are telling clients things that are not quite accurate. This book should help them provide better services.
really a practical guide.......2005-08-24
this book provides very detailed content for SOX issues. Since the Act itself is quite complicated, so more detailed the better. I think this book really helps.

Lots of practice tests.......2007-09-06
I have not yet taken the LSAT, I've actually gone on a different path, but I did purchase this book when I was considering Law School and the book has a lot of practice tests in it which are very helpful.
Useful; note the difference in cover color.......2007-09-04
I've always used past practice exams as my primary study aids, from the SAT to AP to GRE. So I find these 10 exams (from Oct. 1999 to Oct. 2002) pretty useful. I plan to do the 2002+ exams after I'm done with these. The main reason I'm writing this, though, is to point out that my version (which I bought at the end of 2006) has a purple/red cover rather than the white/blue cover shown in the product image. After comparing the contents of the two, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing-- just in case anyone was wondering.
No surprises.......2007-06-20
I did not much enjoy the time I spent with this book, but it's exactly what it claims to be. In the end, I decided to take a low-end test prep course instead of studying on my own, and I didn't need the book anymore.
Official Preptests...the way to go.......2007-03-08
Without taking these official tests, my score would have been much lower. Practice, practice, practice. By the time I'd reached the last few tests in this book, my score on each test in the book was the exact same as what I ended up with for my actual LSAT score.
LSAT Preptests.......2007-01-05
Ten practice tests provided variety for scheduling intellectual infrastructure sessions for students preparing for the LSAT. Format of the texts and availability of answer keys made for ease of switching from section to section as students honed academic skills.

• What kind of essay should I write to set me apart from the rest of the pack?
• Should I explain my low LSAT score, my D in chemistry, my attention deficit disorder, my time in rehab?
• Is law school worth the debt I'll face when I graduate?
Full of invaluable examples and anecdotes about real admissions decisions, The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions is certain to become the new bible for would-be law students everywhere.

Not so good.......2007-09-12
This book is not good. There are much better books that explain what is included in the book. I would only advise buying this book if you need help in writing a request for a recommendation letter because that is the only informative section in this book.
Statement of Purpose.......2007-08-21
I bought this book hoping to receive some good advice on how to write a statement of purpose and she provided two examples. However, I was extremely disappointed when I read the examples because they are written by people who have experiences that most law school applicants don't. I haven't been in the Coast Guard for 8 years and I haven't been a researcher at a top hospital...She gives no good advice for the normal law school applicant. SKIP THIS BOOK!
Good for other programs, too........2007-08-12
I ordered this book because I was considering law school as a career change and needed some help with personal statements. The very candid information in this book actually helped me realize that law school is not the way that I want to go, but I used the information on resumes and personal statements for another application, and was easily accepted into another graduate program that will be more suited to my needs and career aspirations. I recommend this book for anyone pursuing admission to any graduate program, as a lot of the information in transferrable to other programs. And if you are considering law school, read this and you'll definitely get some perspective on whether or not it's really for you.

If only Anna Ivey would clone herself; she is needed in high school and college guidance offices in every school in the Union!
Anna Ivey is the person you want to have a leisurely lunch with while in the middle of the endurance test of admissions. Once Dean of Admissions at The University of Chicago Law School, she has seen the best and the worst of want-to-be attorneys.
She has also managed to pen the ultimate guide for anyone who aspires to become an attorney in the United States. Any question you can imagine, and many that would never occur to you, are answered by her book, "The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews and More."
I know what you're thinking: Yawn! No one is going to read an entire book on something as boring as law school admissions.
It's true. There are some who will use this as a reference book, and nothing more. Lucky for them the ten-page index is extensive and thorough and the information is methodically organized. You could do that and probably fair just fine.
But, glance at the contents page and Ms. Ivey will begin to draw you in with chapters such as "Damning with Faint Praise: Recommendations" and "Prestige and Price Tags: How to Pick a Law School."
What does that mean? "Damning with Faint Praise?" Who ever thought to think so hard about recommendations, besides Ms. Ivey, of course? As with all of the major and minor topics covered, Ms. Ivey covers every single, possible, itty bitty, and big fat detail that will make a difference for you when you are attempting to grab the attention of those who hold the keys to your hope of being accepted at the law school of your choosing.
She is not holding back. Once you dig in, you will realize the author's no-nonsense advice goes down easier with day dreams of diplomas. Though applying for law school is not on my immediate agenda, after reading "The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions" I have no doubt I could not only afford to, I would wow everyone involved with the admissions process and thus have my pick of school--since they'll all be begging for this star to grace their campus with my brilliance.
That is what people will think of your admissions packet if you follow the sage advice in this book: absolutely brilliant!

It is well known that applying to law school is not an easy process or one that should be taken lightly. But it is very difficult for the average college graduate to learn all the important steps that go into the process. Anna Ivey has written the in depth guide to make the experience a more organized, successful journey to the future. As a past admissions officer, she knows what a school is looking for in a law school candidates and is able to clearing delineate the information. Any student considering the option of law school needs to get this book, preferably in their early college years. It will provide them with the inside knowledge needed to both choose and get accepted at the law school they desire. If students follow the steps as described they will be able to put forth their best efforts to meet the criteria required of them.
In straight forward language, with an ear for light humor, Ivey addresses everything from the application essay to the importance of LSAT scores and the admission interview. She points out that the process really begins way before college graduation. The choice of colleges, major and school activities will all affect student's chances of having a future as an attorney. Ivey explains how schools select candidates, what they look for and how to best present onesself to them. . Ms Ivey is able to give a huge amount of information in this clear, easy to follow guide in well designed chapters that follow the process chronologically. This is the comprehensive road map for a successful journey into law school
The useful information in this book is also valuable for students who are considering other fields. Her chapters on resumes, interviewing and recommendations can easily translate into other careers. Chapter 3 "Bring Tears-of Joy!- to Their Eyes The Application Essay" with its sample essays included in the appendix should be included in high school English curriculum for seniors. Many of her pointers are relevant for high school students during their college application process. Although this would be a welcomed additon to high school libraries and guidance offices, it would be wonderful if Ms Ivey would consider writing an edition specifically for this audience.

Exceptional Service.......2007-10-01
The service was great. The item arrived faster and in better shape than believed.
Great efficient, time saver.......2006-11-30
This book offers law students with a time saving alternative to piecing together the 120+ cases in your textbook to form a picture of Constitutional Law.
Unlike your law professor, the author of this book does not play hide the ball. The relevant Constitutional Law issues and conclusions are clearly identified with no tricks, answerless hypotheticals, or the shameful deceptions that you are likely to find in a Constitutional Law textbook.
The book is well organized and written in a way that you can easily come up with the "black letter law" and modes of argument so that you can be successful in your class.
This book's coverage is very broad; it can be used for both Constitutional Law and Constitutional Rights classes.
It has a "Capsule Summary" that briefly explains the major points that the book will cover. I read over the Capsule Summary and found it very helpful in creating a framework that helped me understand everything in detail throughout the rest of the book.
Emanuel has already peiced the cases together for you. You can figure out what the common state of Constitutional Law very quickly. This is very helpful if your professor is going to give you an issue-spotter/essay test.
I am very pleased with the experience that I had with this book (2005 edition). I rarely went to my Constitutional Law class and never did any of the readings. I studied this book in the days leading up to the final exam and scored in the top 10% of the class! If I could do this, then it is not too far fetched to believe that a diligent/more intelligent student would have even more impressive results.

I have several different resources I'm using to study for my life insurance test and what I was looking for was a book that could give me a feel for the insurance business as a producer and one who really likes helping people. This book does that and more and makes you understand what a great field this is and how you can make peoples lives better by providing this service. You have to go for it and this book can help you for sure. Great book!
It did what it was supposed to.......2007-01-06
It coverd the same stuff as my course material, but in some cases it was easier to understand and it had additional test questions included to help me study. I passed the test the first time.
Life Saver.......2006-08-22
In regard to "Exam Cram, Life and Health" I would recommend this book to my adult children if they want to pass the California exam. In addition to being a great test preparation book, I was able to get my computer to read the book to me, by using Adobe and Microsoft text-to-speech programming, which is free to the general public. This book was much better than the text provided by the school. It even includes information needed to open my own business.
Good luck, Bob.

Book Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior to birth 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 replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.

So that's why . . ........2007-10-08
If you ever want to get into the backside of your pre-birth planning of your life challenges, read Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz. Want to know why you attract illness, accidents, birth defects? Want to know why you chose a life of alcoholism or drug addiction, or are around someone who has? Read this book. The stories, while may start out slow at first, are powerful and insightful. Just stick with them. Robert uses mediums who are able to access multiple guides at one time, and your primary guide and listen in on conversations between you and your soul group.
not credible.......2007-09-30
I got to p. 300 and started reading another book. I found this book painstakingly slow to read, the information provided by the mediums: farfetched, and the conclusions drawn by the author, hard to swallow. Often, when mediums are tired, their accuracy rate diminishes. I never heard of any of the mediums used in this book. Robert Schwartz makes everything so complicated when the subject matter is really quite easy to understand. The book just doesn't flow easily and it's not a page turner in my opinion. I'm a believer, but this book really is a waste of time and money. Read Journey of the Soul by Michael Newton, PhD. Instead of using mediums, he enters the superconsciousness of his clients and elicits information from them directly about their experiences on The Other Side.
An Empowering Way to Reframe Painful Challenges in Our Lives.......2007-09-17
It has been said that asking oneself the question, "Who was I before I was born?" can teach us the most about our true spiritual identity -- yet few of us have been so enlightened as to have heard the full reply. COURAGEOUS SOULS takes this starting point one step further by exploring just how we may have crafted our entire life around all of our life circumstances -- both the high and the low points.
What sets Robert Schwartz's book apart from other books about spirituality, reincarnation and the afterlife is his organized use of intuitive readings as companion pieces to accompany the various life stories he includes. These intuitive sessions provide a deep sense of interconnectedness and unconditional love shared in our lifetimes which we sometimes lose sight of, as well as insights into how we continue learning life lessons from one life to the next. The stories include descriptions of people who have experienced tremendous suffering who are greatly inspired and relieved to see an underlying sense of purpose and meaning to all they have gone through.
COURAGEOUS SOULS is an exceptional book for anyone interested in exploring the true nature of their spiritual identity, who is willing to keep an open mind regarding the value of some of the most painful challenges we humans face in our lives on Earth; this is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to reframe and find deeper meaning from the painful challenges, setbacks or hardships in their lives.
Some of life's challenges explained........2007-09-06

Before I even finished reading this book, I ordered more and had them sent to my friends. This book is amazing.
Told through many soul journies, Robert Schwartz brought in the talents of true mediums who were able to discover decisions that these people made before they were born - again. He did not use just one medium, but several, and they are listed in the back of the book. The individuals who shared their stories are also listed with email addresses -- and if they are able and have the time they will answer your questions.
This book came to me at a time I really needed to be reminded of my own experiences through many lives and the time between our next life. The stories are beautiful because they are able to explain why certain tragedies happen to a person.
I highly recommend this book, especially to those with open and searching minds.
Why Human Challenges Exist!.......2007-08-28
Courageous Souls is highly recommended to anyone trying to understand the suffering, tragedy or loss that has caused them to question life, death and/or God. And who among us is not inflicted by such challenges and questions in our lifetime? In my eight years researching life after death, spirituality and life purpose, I have discovered no better explanation of why human challenges exist than what is so eloquently written in Robert Schwartz's book.
