Have we led past lives? Are we destined to return to this earth again? Can we, under the right circumstances, recall former lives? Adherents of reincarnation New Age thinking say "yes" to these questions and recount fascinating alleged tales of their former lives. Books and TV shows play with these ideas, often lending them support. But can we innocently blend together these ideas from East and West? Can Eastern teaching about reincarnation be transplanted into the soul of our Judeo-Christian heritage? Mark Albrecht examines these issues with care, looking especially at the case for and against spontaneous recall and regression to past lives. He offers readers a clear biblical assessment of this New Age doctrine.
