“Oh, no!  Why is this happening to me?”
Have you ever wondered why something awful was happening to you?

     Or, conversely, have you been surprised that you have come into a position of power or fame? Or maybe you have been graced with some unusual talent such as healing and wondered, “Why me?”

     Dick Sutphen’s new book Soul Agreements  (ISBN 1-57174-442-8), written with Tara Sutphen, explains some of these mysteries. The authors make a strong case that the difficulties we face throughout our lives are opportunities for soul growth. Our karma, the force of our past intentions, carries forth into this lifetime, and presents us with opportunities to learn and evolve.

     Soul Agreements explores the idea that destiny and past-life karma play active roles in shaping the major crises and blessings that we experience here.  The authors posit that while in spirit, before being born, you wrote a script for your life that included your career plans, major challenges you would encounter, and relationships with people who would affect your life in meaningful ways. Your parents, lovers, children, and business partners… the ones who are especially difficult, as well as those who are especially supportive…are all part of your karmic road map programmed at a soul level. 

     So those creeps causing you grief are actually teachers on your path!  You invited them in to your life to help you advance in the realm of cosmic evolution! What a concept! It puts a whole new spin on life’s crises, and invites us all to ask, “Which catastrophes and problem people are actually my life’s lessons?”

     Dick Sutphen is a renowned past-life researcher and presenter of audio programs, and more than 100,000 people have attended his seminars.  He is the author of more than twenty books including the million-copy best-selling classic You Were Born Again to Be Together. Sutphen explored the concept of destiny through romantic relationships in that widely-read book, and Soul Agreements promises to be just as popular.

     No matter what we experience, we always have free will to make the most of our destiny and choose our responses, according to the Sutphens. This book teaches how to triumph over painful circumstances and tragedy, and create a life of love and success, no matter what!  Who can’t benefit from that?
