Synopsis

This is the story of James Leininger, who—a little more than two weeks after his second birthday—began having blood-curdling nightmares that just would not stop. When James began screaming out recurring phrases like "Plane on fire! Little man can't get out!" the Leiningers finally admitted that they truly had to take notice.

When details of planes and war tragedies no two-year-old boy could know continued—even in stark daylight—Bruce and Andrea Leininger began to realize that this was an incredible situation. Soul Survivor is the story of how the Leiningers pieced together what their son was communicating and eventually discovered that he was reliving the past life of World War II fighter pilot James Huston. As Bruce Leininger struggled to understand what was happening to his son, he also uncovered details of James Huston's life—and death—as a pilot that will fascinate military buffs everywhere.

In Soul Survivor, we are taken for a gripping ride as the Leiningers' belief system is shaken to the core and both of these families come to know a little boy who, against all odds and even in the face of true skeptics, harbors the soul of this man who died long ago.

Goodreads review by Nancy on May 02, 2011

Oh for goodness sakes, this is supposed to be a book about the reincarnation of a World War II Fighter Pilot not a recap of a previous marriage, an over protective mother and the lenient parental role model that she lived with. Not to mention “the panel” made up of Andrea’s sisters that have to disc......more

Goodreads review by Dorothy on July 22, 2009

As a past life regression practitioner, I am thrilled and indebted to Bruce and Andrea Leininger for their wisdom and courage to write about their son James' past life memories.

Goodreads review by La Crosse County Library on May 17, 2022

Review originally published September 2009 Soul Survivor by Andrea and Bruce Leininger, with Ken Gross, is not about religion, although Andrea and Bruce have Christian faith. In this case, it means the actual survival of a soul or personality. In 1998, when 2-year-old James Leinenger woke his par......more

Goodreads review by blacksheep01 on June 21, 2010

While this book could have been written better, it gets four stars for content alone, it captured quite an amazing chain of real life events. But before my review, a little background. I have been fascinated with WWII aircraft in particular since my earliest days of life, the first two things I can......more
