Explore the Compelling Evidence of Past Life Memories in Young Children For the past forty years, doctors at the University of Virginia Medical Center have conducted groundbreaking research into young children's reports of past-life memories. Dr. Ian Stevenson, the founder of this work, has always written for a scientific audience. Now, in Life Before Life, Dr. Jim B. Tucker, a child psychiatrist who currently directs the research, shares these remarkable studies with the general public for the first time. Children who report past-life memories typically begin talking spontaneously about a previous life at the age of two or three. Some recall the life of a deceased family member, while others describe the life of a stranger. They recount astonishing details about previous family members, events, and even the way they died. Many of these children have birthmarks that match wounds on the deceased individual's body. Dr. Tucker and his colleagues have rigorously investigated more than 2,500 cases, and their findings have been praised by the Journal of the American Medical Association as "difficult to explain on any other grounds." Life Before Life explores the various facets of this fascinating phenomenon, presenting cases from all over the world that offer persuasive evidence of reincarnation. This book has the potential to challenge and ultimately transform our understanding of life and death. Sharing these incredible stories in a straightforward, scientific manner, Dr. Tucker invites readers to explore the evidence and reach their own conclusions about the significance of these extraordinary tales of past lives. We meet a boy in Michigan who, after being born with three birthmarks that matched wounds on his deceased brother, begins talking about events from the brother's life; a boy in Turkey who gives a number of accurate details, including the name, of a man who lived 500 miles away and died fifty years before the boy was born; and a girl in Sri Lanka who is able to recognize the family members of a deceased stranger as they are presented to her one by one, giving specifics about their lives that she could not have known from their appearance. Dr. Tucker presents this material in a straightforward way, relating extraordinary stories that have been amassed with a scientific approach. He then considers how best to interpret the evidence, and he lets readers reach their own conclusions—which, for many, will be profound.
