Two thousand years ago she was a fierce Arab warrior named Arman and the son-in-law of Sohebel. While pursuing a man for stealing a precious sword from Sohebel, Arman stumbles upon the Sermon on the Mount. He is unexpectedly transformed. Sword and dagger at his belt, he falls to his knees and swears to live by the words of Jesus. And for this he will ultimately die!

Because of her ability to see spirits Christy comes face to face with Sohebel. He takes her on an amazing journey through time and to the spirit world where she meets her eternal soul mate. Shocking details emerge that will change her views about life and death forever.

Note from the Author:
If you feel that you have stumbled upon this story of a past life remembrance by chance, I have only this to say: There are no coincidences. It is not by accident that this book will find its way into your hands. You were meant to come face to face with the possibility that you walked this earth before, that the people in your life were with you before. The life that you are living, the people that you know, have been called to you to help you discover who you are. In turn, you hold a mirror to their souls. The experiences that you share give your souls the opportunity to grow. When you see your life mate, your children, your friends, and even your enemies as opportunities for fulfilling your need to know yourself, you will achieve some measure of peace in your lifetime. When you become aware that the reflection of you in their eyes is who you are, you will then see every one of them as a gift to you.

You are allowed more freedom to explore the universe than you know, if only you will be still and listen to your heartbeat. It has many stories to tell you!
