please re-record this book by a professional

this book might have been a good book, except she was a rank amateur narrator. Remember hearing a story report by a freshman? This was on par with that experience, except you didn't pay for it. I eventually began to think this writer, this mother, this narrator was either too cheap to hire someone to do the reading, or has too big of an ego to let it go. Hopefully there is a nicer reason why she made the decision to force herself on us. It made a first book sound like a first book.
I am sorry I had to write this, but I think it's fair to let her know and any potential buyer. I wished I had bought the book and read it myself. I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it more.

Fascinating Story, Distracting Narration.

Well researched and well told story. Unfortunately it was narrated by the author and her sugary diction drove me nuts. it was all I could do to finish the book in spite of how interesting the content was. I'd have given it 5 stars with a professional narrator.

Very easy to listen to

I so enjoyed hearing the author tell her beautiful and heart-felt story. I think her own voice is perfect for this story. The story is sweet and captivating. Highly recommended!

Fascinating Story

The story is fascinating, I'm just sorry that the author chose to read it - she sounds like she has a lisp and I found it so distracting that I actually stopped the book several times.

The content is worth getting through it though and while I'm not terribly religious or spiritual this book brought me a new kind of peace and perspective. Thank you for sharing your story.

Incredible story of love knowing no boundaries

I bought this book after reading Hay House’s Reid Tracy’s review / even though I know he’s the publisher, I also was so enthralled with how he spoke of this story. I grew up Catholic, and Catholics do not traditionally believe in reincarnation. Hearing how Cathy, a Christian mom also grappling with her faith as she listened to her young son tell his truth about who he was, I had more curiosity & openness to learn more. I love how she came to balance her faith as she also opened her mind to something that seemed so improbable yet fit. I recommend this book to anyone who loves family stories, loves baseball, and the creative way Love continues over lifetimes - even if we don’t completely understand the “how”.

The Mom Who Knew Too Much

The beginning of the book is about a boy who is believed to be the second coming of Lou Gehrig. As the book progresses it felt like it was about the boy's helicopter mother. Sprinkled with interesting information about Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth's Yankees, Little League Baseball, and the Gehrig Families the reader made the Boy's mother overbearing as everyone's "best friend"! Good beginning, bad conclusions. I would recommend reading not listening to the book! Sorry Nom!

Must Read

This story is incredible, heart warming and inspiring. I’m so grateful I came across this book and highly recommend it to readers.

Invigorating

I got this title at the recommendation of a friend. Thinking the story was all about baseball, and as a baseball mom, I was intrigued. The story is INVIGORATING and I was delighted to learn the many things ‘hidden’ in Christian and Cathy’s journey. It touched my soul to the core and brought so much happiness! It’s a must read for anyone!

Heart filling & astonishing

I love Christians mom for believing in her son, loving him & for spending countless hours practicing baseball with him. This is a heart palpitating story of a young boy who is living with a gift from God remembering a past life, as Lou Gehrig. Good luck, Christian and thank you for sharing your story.

Everyone should read this book

If you are on the fence about reincarnation this book is for you. Entertaining, heart warming and incredible.
