I liked "The Search for Grace" because it did not try to spend a lot of time philosophizing, but simply presented the facts as they were. The author's goal wasn't to solve the mysteries of life, but to present a case of reincarnation where the past-life details could actually be verified. In that, he succeeded.

Also interesting was the repeated pattern of Grace's previous incarnations, where the same souls re-played the same roles many times. This is in sharp contrast to the popular misconception that we supposedly "flip-flop" back and forth between victim and oppressor roles. The case of Grace suggests that this is not the case. Instead, we often repeat what is familiar to us.

This was a compelling read! In "The Search for Grace," Dr. Bruce Goldberg presents an absolutely convincing case for the transmigration of the soul. Documentation is superb and, at the same time, very haunting! Grace's Birth Certificate, her Death Certificate, archived contemporary newspaper articles, and precise details that only the true Grace Doze could have known add powerful credibility to the concept of reincarnation.

What we see right now in our lives may be just a shallow perception where, in actuality, this life may be but a small piece on a string of our "past lives" and our "future lives." How does this work? Dr. Golberg suggests that our souls may be connected to us through mechanisms available via concepts explained in quantum physics. Indeed, physicists have recently been saying that in quantum physics there may be what are known as parallel universes. The idea that we exist in more ways than one is not far-fetched. Could this be where science and metaphysics meet?

The book is well-written and I quite enjoyed it -- I read it in two days so it is also easy reading. However, there was one area I think the author needed to explain a little better because I did not understand it. How can a person live two lives in the same time period as this person reveals under hypnosis? He had an explanation that involved quantum physics but I'm much afraid that his explanation went zooming over my head like a fighter jet bound for Afghanistan.

I have no problem believing in reincarnation. This book was well documented and I have no doubt that Ivy was, at one time, the flapper named Grace. The proof of Grace's existence is there documented with birth ceritificates, newpaper articles and pictures. However, I found the book, in general, to be rather simply written and lacking greatly in a story line. The regressions of Ivy were simple, dull and lacking in detail and I often felt the author talked down to the reader. This book could have been better written if the author had taken a bit more time with it.

This is another one of those books that I couldn't put down - in fact I read all of the nearly 300 pages in a couple of days - a testament to just how interesting this story is.

"The Search for Grace" is about a series of lives lived by a woman currently named Ivy - and outlines a continuation of a love triangle that has lasted over many, many lifetimes.

Past-life regression allowed Ivy to see this cycle in the varied ways that it was played out over the centuries, and enabled her to recognize two men who were in her life at the time of the regression. One was a man she had an on-again, off-again relationship with, who was abusive - he showed up in quite a few of her lives, always hurting or killing her. The other was man she dated who is really nice to her - he also showed up in many of her lives, always being a caring & supportive person.

Will she be able to use this information to break this cycle once and for all?

The author includes actual transcripts from Ivy's past-life regressions (which I found fascinating), as well as appendices that describe in more detail how & why regression/hynotherapy works.

Overall, I found this to be a very interesting book, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in past-life regression, as well as those involved in the field of psychology - it has much to offer.

The Search for Grace is an interesting book for anyone interested in reincarnation. However, there isn't much information about reincarnation and life in general and the writing is poor with a lack of chemistry between the hypnosis subject and her therapist.

As soon as I started reading this book, I could not put it down. Is Grace's spirit really reincarnated over thousands of years? Judge for yourself!

I am a direct relation to Grace Loveless Doze and I was
offended by the book, as was many members of our family
including her son, Clifford who is now 80 years old.
This book portrays Grace out to be a fluzy and she was not.
Just an unhappily married woman.
This book has brought disgrace to our family and a lot of
heartache to Grace's son.
Grace was a lovely person and well liked by the Doze family.
Her mother, husband, son and relatives loved her and were
horrified by her murder which is still unsolved today.
Our family feels Dr. Goldberg is profitting money off of our
family's tragedy.
