The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian combines sound biblical research with spiritual autobiography in order to unveil God’s living laws of love—for a prosperous life, here on earth, and for the soul in eternity. In her lively style, Thelma Jane shares the principles of faith and prayer by which she manifested a successful and happy life. These principles will help you to do the same. By careful theological reasoning, supported by a wealth of scriptures, Thelma Jane goes on to discuss theological issues, including: methods of biblical interpretation, the plan of the fall and redemption (from Adam to Christ), and revelations concerning God’s justice and mercy. The book offers a bold and convincing hypothesis, concerning the soul’s destiny. The hypothesis transcends the usual division between “conservative” and “liberal” doctrine. As an evangelical, Thelma Jane believes that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the center and goal of our life of faith. So that all may come to Christ, God’s plan of salvation may include the possibility of reincarnation. Furthermore, salvation may involve not just the individual but also the collective, not just the person but also soul groups (e.g. families). The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian is far-ranging, intellectually stimulating, personally engaging, warm, inspiring, and uplifting. Thelma Jane gives hope for all who fervently seek to know God through Jesus Christ. Anyone curious about God's laws of love and the soul's destiny will benefit from this book.

Finn for Readers’ Favorite Book Review 3: Does God’s justice and mercy demand extra time for some souls to come to spiritual maturity and a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? According to Thelma Jane in The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian, the answer is yes…. Thelma states that even though the Bible does not implicitly state there is reincarnation, the omission does not preclude the possibility…. What do you know about a Christian form of reincarnation? If you are like me, you probably figured they are mutually exclusive; however, Thelma Jane tries to reach a balance between the two philosophies in The Soul’s Destiny…. This book may be hard for traditional Christians to accept. However, this book is interesting and opens the door to an alternative interpretation of the Bible. Read and ponder on it and decide for yourself what you believe. -- Philip Van Heusen for Readers’ Favorite Book Review 4: Thelma Jane considers herself an "ordinary" Christian, but her visions and observations are extraordinary. Using scriptural studies and spiritual reflection, she clears up common misconceptions, discussing how she has led others to Christ through her testimonies or by simply asking them to a religious service. Using true and fictional stories to anchor her points, she relates how she believes we may help determine the spiritual fate of our ancestors. The author has a conversational style that pulls you in, making you feel you're receiving the information from a dear friend. Thelma raises some thought-provoking questions, and she answers them by using her scriptural knowledge and visions. The Soul's Destiny may change the way you interpret death and the possibility of reincarnation. -- Courtnee Turner Hoyle for Readers’ Favorite Book Review 5: The Soul's Destiny is a well-detailed book that covers various aspects of the spiritual Christian journey.
