PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newton--counselor, hypnotist and author of Journey of Souls--draws on his regressions of some 70 clients to explore the existence of souls between incarnations. The most affecting section of the book is the second chapter, where Newton turns his attention to grief and argues that between death and reincarnation, discarnate souls are able to contact loved ones and comfort them. Excerpts of his sessions with clients show people realizing that they have had one partner throughout many lives; that after previous deaths, the couple was reunited; and that after this incarnation, they will be together again. Elsewhere, Newton investigates the nonhuman manifestations of spirits on Earth, including elves, fairies and ghosts. Newton also takes on malevolent spirits; arguing that demons and the devil do not exist, he reports that after working with him, clients who initially thought they were possessed by a "malevolent spirit" usually realize they have miscommunicated with a benevolent spirit who was trying to reach them. A rich volume, chock-full of interviews and fascinating first-person narratives, this book is nonetheless not for the uninitiated; Newton sometimes fails to explain his terminology, so readers who do not know much about "lives between lives" may feel lost. More informed readers, however, will find this a feast, and Newton a charming host.

Great book
Amazing
Superb!
The best of the best in spiritual literature. The new ager’s guiding light. I’ve read and reread more times than I can count, and always get more insight and understanding out of it.
Destiny of Souls
I just finished Destiny of Souls, after being glued to it for the last couple weeks, reading in the bits and pieces of quiet time I can wrangle. I never completely released my skepticism, primarily because it was so believable. If in fact this is fiction poised as non-fiction, then, bravo, you kept your audience and there were no holes in the story. This is not the first book I have read on lives between lives, going back to Dr. Moody or even Seth (channeled through Jane Roberts) back in the '70s, but it is the first I recall that involved this style of research with hypnotism.
The last chapter was a terrific disappointment, though hardly a detractor for the rest of the book. The author took the opportunity here to express a sort of run on monologue of his various personal philosophies on relationships, human nature, drug use, religion (and so on, i think you will see my point) that have grown from his research. He certainly has a right to his opinion and this would be a good place except it seemed he hadn't been paying attention to the information he'd collected in his book. I don't know what he was thinking. Otherwise, loved the book.
