An Astounding True Story of a Young Boy's Past-Life Memories

I felt like I was actually experiencing the story. I believe in reincarnation and it has strengthened my faith in the Divine process of life. Thank you, Cathy, for your courage and willingness to shAre this story. Jan

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others..I've been a believer in reincarnation for a long time..the book was easy to follow and didn't have any slow areas..good job writing, at least for me..thanks for sharing your story Cathy...

Very interesting information. I've never considered spirits returning as other people, but this has made me think that might be a possibility after all. The more I read about the universe, the more I believe in possibilities that are outside of my previous beliefs.

It doesn't matter if you believe in reincarnation or not, the message behind Ms.Byrd's words is what this book is about. I have a greater appreciation for Lou, Christina, and Tommy but an even greater one for Ms.Byrd and her willing to be open with her story and remind the world that kindness and love are all that matter

I enjoy baseball and the history of the game. That added to The genuinely well written book about the author , son and family and their experiences with the spiritual world, and how real it be to to us and how it can affect us.

LOVED this book. What an amazing adventure, Christians life has been so far. I could easily be a skeptic about reincarnation, but after reading this book, it's very hard to discount any of it. Beautifully written... highly recommended!!!

I've read 51% and cannot continue with this book. Apart from all the detail the most disturbing aspect is the mothers' horrendous ambition for her son, attending every event where she can gain mileage for him (herself?), taking both children out of school for a day to promote her son, whom I'm sure is extremely talented but this poor boy has a helluva tall order to live up to and I feel sad for him, actually disturbed, if he doesn't fulfil his mother's extreme ambitions. I suspect even the father isn't happy with the way this boy is being marketed hence the comments about not wanting to discuss the 'reincarnation' again.

This story is a recipe for disaster, I just hope this boy`s self-esteem survives life with momager as he is human and definitely won't live up to this tall order... or that he doesn't turn into a narcissist. And what about the daughter - it sounds like she's treated like an appendage to this obsession to fame. I hope she knows that she's worthy and valuable too, even though she doesn't have a story that generates cash for her mother.

Also, many of the incidents just didn't ring true, it seemed staged.

I have never written a review but felt compelled to mention the obvious, which isn't so obvious judging by all the positive reviews: What is this doing to the children? A waste of my money and my time.

I was really interested in reading this book, and since I believe in reincarnation, I enjoyed the parts of it about the boy and his remembrances. However, then the book seemed to turn into the author's story, her struggle with whether or not she was "going against her religion" way too much. I felt she didn't have an editor to help cut out the many times there were too many unnecessary details that the reader wouldn't care about. Then suddenly the story just didn't seem to have a real conclusion that I could accept. There should have been much more about the child's memories and wishing she had actually done more for him so he wouldn't have felt "odd" because of them. Only one misspelled word, "wring" someone's neck is spelled "ring" in the book.

This easy to read story is fascinating and mind boggling. I enjoyed learning about Cathy and Christian's account of their past life experiences. The ideas presented open up a entirely new realm of possibilities for how we view the soul and reincarnation. I truly loved it! I especially like Cathy's message of love. That's all that really matters in our lives.

I just finished reading Cathy Byrd’s new memoir of reincarnation, "The Boy Who Knew Too Much"—which interestingly, has a similar title to my own, similarly themed work, "The Man Who Sent the SOS." I unabashedly give Cathy’s book five stars, both for her terrific and easy-to-follow writing style, as well as for the phenomenal number of confirming details the author was able to uncover, as she investigated both her son’s past-life story—and ultimately, her own.

Cathy Byrd was a typical Southern California wife and mother, whose two-year-old son Christian became inexplicably obsessed with playing baseball—at an age when most kids can barely focus on any one thing for more than a couple of minutes.

But the story really takes off when the toddler starts talking about memories of his previous life as a grown up, professional ball player. In one memorable scene—which takes place at the start of a plane trip to Boston—the boy refuses to buckle up, telling his exasperated mother, “When I was big, I didn’t wear seatbelts, and I drank alcohol.”

From there things snowballed—and quickly. Soon Christian was regularly entertaining the family with tidbits from his previous life…which the parents mostly wrote off as fantasy, until the toddler, presented with a photograph of some old-time baseball players, pointed to one and declared, “That’s me.”

The man in the picture was legendary New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig, who retired from baseball at the height of his career after coming down with a rare degenerative disease. (For decades thereafter, ALS was commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.)

This bombshell led Cathy, step-by-step, to the inescapable conclusion that not only was her son telling the truth…but that she herself had a past-life connection to the Gehrig family.

To reveal more would rob the reader of much enjoyment from "The Boy Who Knew Too Much." However, suffice it to say that the book is a thought-provoking, highly intelligent page-turner. It vividly captures Cathy’s journey from skeptic to believer—as she tries to reconcile her deeply held Christian faith with the unusual story that’s playing out behind the scenes in her home. And, with her prodigious skills as a writer, Cathy succeeds in bringing the reader along with her for the ride.

In the end, Cathy uncovers—and shares—a treasure-trove of spiritual wisdom—making "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" the New Age equivalent of a grand slam. It shouldn’t be missed.

Entertaining and fun, whilst sharing undeniable synchronicities and truths that are beyond what we think is reality.
The main message/take away is my favorite part. A beautiful reminder to enjoy the journey

I enjoyed the author’s candid account of how her son’s past life shook her belief system and how she was open enough to embrace new spiritual paradigms. She shared her fears and doubts which is refreshing! The story in itself is amazing and fun to read!
