Six decades ago, a 21-year-old Navy fighter pilot on a mission over the Pacific was shot down by Japanese artillery. His name might have been forgotten, were it not for 6-year-old James Leininger. His parents are Baptists, but now they believe in Reincarnation.
The parents of James Leininger were first puzzled and then disturbed
when their two-year-old son began screaming out chilling phrases during
recurrent nightmares, such as, "Plane on fire! Little man can't get
out!" The centerpiece of a loving family of three, James was a happy,
playful toddler who had only just begun stringing together sentences.
Determined to understand what was happening to their son, Bruce and
Andrea set off on a journey of discovery that was to rock them to their
core. For the more they researched the arcane comments and fragmented
details little James revealed, the more they were drawn inescapably to a
shocking conclusion: that James was reliving the life of James Huston, a
World War II fighter pilot who was killed in the battle for Iwo Jima--
over sixty years ago!
Through painstaking research and
conversations with war veterans and surviving members of James Huston's
family, Bruce and Andrea were forced to confront their skepticism and
reexamine their entire belief system. In the process, they not only
managed to solve the mystery of their son's statements. They also
uncovered revelations about James Huston's life and wartime experiences
that could finally bring peace and healing to his loved ones, decades
after his death.
This book features stunning drawings from James Leininger illustrating
his unshakable memories, photos that portray the eerie resemblance
between young James and the adult James Huston, and a foreword from
world-renowned past lives expert Carol Bowman. In SOUL SURVIVOR, readers
will come to know and believe in the special child who harbors the soul
of a man who died in 1945.
