description: Hundreds, if not thousands, of books have been written about the great mysteries of life and death. A large portion of them have promoted or defended the theory that we will continually be born into this world and/or others. Skeptics, mystics, and poets have proclaimed different but interesting views concerning a "ring of return"-describing a rebirth into mortality. Fifty years ago most Americans scoffed at the idea of being reborn into mortality-that it was simply an occult superstition. Today it is probably the fastest growing religious thought among the nation's gurus, psychics, and preachers. Our "New Age" movement is the most effective missionary vehicle nurturing its success. As a believer in the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the author has been amazed at the number of acquaintances who believe that they have lived on this earth sometime before and that their spirit will come back again in another mortal body sometime in the future. Among them are Buddhists, Theosophists, Oaspies, Hindus, Reincarnationists, Catholics, Protestants, and even a few Mormons. In response to some of their published and unpublished views on the subject of reincarnation, in whatever form or variation, this book is written. In fact, enough material has been collected on this subject by the author to publish additional volumes, but this one should suffice.
