Talking with Leaders of the Past 1st edition

This is a challenging book filled with many surprises. The authors contact a group of master spirits on the Other Side, and through them interview 15 leaders, all born before 1900, who made their mark on the world. Each leader discusses issues from his or her famous past life. They all express their current thoughts and feelings with many marked changes of opinion.

The leaders interviewed are: Pope John XXIII, Florence Nightingale, Albert Einstein, Margaret Sanger, Charles Darwin, Bertrand Russell, Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dwight Moody, William James, C. G. Jung, Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, and Andrew Carnegie.

Controversy abounds from the broad theme of reincarnation to the sharp new opinions expressed by individual leaders. Pope John expresses concern about the future of the Catholic church and its teaching. Einstein takes us further down the path of describing energy and the divine. A reversal by Carl Jung sheds new light on his theory of synchronicity. Likewise the historic theory of evolution is no longer seen in the way that Darwin would now express it.

The most dramatic interview in the book is the incredible double encounter by Peter Watson Jenkins with Adolf Hitler. In the first abrasive part, Hitler appears fully vested in his persona as the psychotic dictator. The second part was of very different tone as the soul who once was Hitler explains why and how he did what he did, and what has happened to him since his return Home.

This book has new ideas to explore about the nature of the divine, heaven and hell, and the purpose of life. This is a book destined to spark a revolution in human spirituality.
