I didn’t know what picture to use for this blog so I just put up the one of Eilfie and me since this list is mostly for her. It’s not any narcissistic desire to look at myself. Ha!

Anyway, the reason for this blog came from me looking at the books on the Paranormal Research Society’s donation wish list for their library. I told Eilfie that there weren’t any reincarnation books on the list and I volunteered to help her out with that section. This is my area of expertise. I’m an advocate for reincarnation research and providing people with access to research material. She wanted the book suggestions, so here I am with a list. I was going to give the list to her alone but then I thought maybe the rest of you could benefit from it too.

There are a lot of books here, yes. My goal was to provide a cross-section of books written by doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, spiritual leaders, as well as the people who have been brave enough to come forward with their individual experiences. Dr. Ian Stevenson and Dr. Brian Weiss are considered by many to be the godfathers of reincarnation research, so their books were the first ones to go on the list. Dr. Walter Semkiw is someone that I have personally worked with concerning my own past life case and he did some research on it with Kevin Ryerson, so I included his books. There are several books on this list that I haven’t read yet but that have come recommended to me in one way or another. There are also books on this list by people whose individual cases I have not personally investigated but I’m not one to only share ideas that I personally endorse. I share ideas of all kinds and let you decide for yourselves. For example, the case of Sherrie Lea Laird being Marilyn Monroe – I have talked to Sherrie before but we no longer communicate due to her extreme political views. Extreme views and personal differences, however, do not make a potential case invalid. On the other hand, I included a book by Jeffrey Keene who has been one of my mentors for several years and was a very close friend of my former husband’s in our past life cases. He wrote the introduction to my book.

If you’re a beginner, I suggest Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Weiss, then his other books to get the principles laid out, and then progress into Dr. Stevenson’s books and so forth. They will give you the proper tools to make decisions about what to learn from individual cases when you read them later. You will notice that these books are the Western take on reincarnation for the most part. The reason for that is I don’t consider myself educated enough in Eastern religions to make recommendations on such books. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who can recommend the Eastern books. There are certainly other great books I’ve forgotten too but this is a great start. This list is already long enough! Oh and I included my own book at the end.

Eilfie, I hope you find this list helpful. Let me know if you need any more help with anything.
