About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Great concept of a story. Extremely interesting unfortunately, it was poorly executed, terribly written and narrated by one of the most annoying voices I’ve ever heard.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5By the end of this book, I was a completely believer. There were too many coincidences that couldn't be explained away. I love the idea of reincarnation and find it easier to believe in than some people.
The only thing that bummed me out about this book is how poorly it was written. It didn't flow well, it didn't encourage you to like the parents at all, and the author kept using either words he made up and/or unique words several times in the same paragraph. There was also the issue with cramming too many facts that had nothing to do with the story into the book... - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Amazing story about a boy who remembers his past life as a WWII fighter pilot. Good read, but could have been a long article.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story, families and the military ties. God bless everyone. Thank you.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When Bruce and Andrea Leininger’s young son, James, showed an interest in airplanes, they didn’t think too much about it. Then, when James turned two years old, he began having vivid nightmares about being in a plane crash and being trapped in the cockpit. His verbal skills weren’t great yet, but he’d say that the “airplane crash on fire little man can’t get out” and when they asked who the little man was, James would reply that it was him. The Leiningers were concerned about the nightmares, but initially attributed them to a move they had recently made or his age or even television.As James got older and his language skills improved, he began telling his parents things that didn’t make sense to them. He said he flew a Corsair off of the Natoma and the Japanese shot him down. He also mentioned some other people who were on the ship. Andrea had read a book about reincarnation in children and began to suspect that James’ soul had been on the Earth previously. She got in contact with Carol Bowman, the author of Children’s Past Lives and got some tips from her on how to cope with the situation.Since Bruce is a deeply religious man, he couldn’t accept Andrea’s theory and began some intensive research trying to disprove it. Instead of disproving Andrea’s theory, it seems like all the evidence he uncovered only further proved it. Bruce also became very involved with and attached to the brave men who served on the USS Natoma Bay.I read Soul Survivor by Bruce and Andrea Leininger with Ken Gross in anticipation of their interview on Blog Talk Radio. The book is written in a conversational tone, so it’s an easy read – you feel like you’re listening to an old friend. There were some details included that I felt weren’t necessary for the story, but they didn’t detract too much. Besides the story of James, there are some interesting stories about the brave men who served on the USS Natoma Bay during World War II. No matter how you feel about reincarnation, this book will make you think. I think the Leiningers were meticulous in their research and they’re sincere in their beliefs, but after reading Soul Survivor and mulling over the facts for a few days, I still don’t know what to think. This is a great book for anyone interested in reincarnation.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While some of the writing was a bit choppy--the same info was repeated in different voices (ie. Andrea's and Bruce's point of view)--the story itself was very fascinating. I don't think it needed to be quite as long as it was, but reading about their journey of discovery for the true facts of the crash, alongside with the reincarnation nightmares/memories, was fascinating. I was already convinced of the existence of reincarnation, but hearing another story of a child who can recall a past life was well worth it.
