Reviews

"Whether or not you believe, but especially if you're a born skeptic, you'll be in good company sharing the travels of author Tom Shroder....Old Souls is quietly mind-boggling."
-Chicago Tribune

"Fascinating...This is science....This book explodes the worldview we know and demands that we enlarge our perspective."
-Claire Douglas Rocky Mountain News

"A book worth reading, if only for the many unsettling questions it will raise."
-Patti Thorn Rocky Mountain News
