  <default_description>Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all   eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior  to birth for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true  stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped  children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved  one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often  planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific  challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a  soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves  planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued  with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner;  feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by  acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.</default_description>
