(From book cover) Enter the Heart of the Spirit World. In Destiny of Souls, 67 people just like you recall their life between lives through Dr. Newton's personal work in spiritual hypnotherapy. Based on his groundbreaking research into the afterlife, this book is designed both for first-time venturers into the subject and for readers of Dr. Newton's best-selling first volume, Journey of Souls.

Explore the meaning behind your own spiritual memories as you read the stories of people in deep hypnosis and learn fascinating details about:

"Journey of Souls was my first pilgrimage with my clients through the spirit world on the great river of eternity. Destiny of Souls will take you on a second expedition into the wonders of the spirit world along the same river, with side trips up major tributaries. Our exploration will uncover more of the hidden aspects of the route taken after death and expand your understanding of the incredible sense of order within the afterlife."…….Dr. Michael Newton

As was the case in his first book, Dr. Newton believes that the hypnotic responses of his subjects concerning the afterlife provide credible information because of the great consistency in their reports, even using the same words and graphic descriptions, because he has no indication of anyone attempting to fake their spiritual existence, because he treats each case as if he is hearing the information for the first time, and because of his efforts to corroborate specific functional activities of souls during regression sessions.

Dr. Newton's work has provided the most comprehensive model of the afterlife that is available, based upon hypnotic regression sessions from a large number of subjects. This second book provides a large increase in the depth of spiritual material covered. The strongest reason for belief in this model is the great degree of similarity in all of his patient reports. It provides a framework of fact and spiritual organization that can be used for comparison with similar information derived from other sources.
