Joy,
Thank you for those references for the books by Dr Michael Newton. I'll look out for them next time I visit my nearest large bookstore.

For those who are interested, here are a couple of links to articles from Erin Pavlina's blog about some of her beliefs / experiences regarding reincarnation. Erin had many psychic experiences throughout her childhood & teen years & is now a practising pyschic medium.

I personally find that Erin is a great communicator & has a very down to earth writing style.
