About the author
Sarah Hinze is the author of Coming from the Light (Gallery Books, 1997) and We Lived in Heaven: Spiritual Accounts of Souls Coming to Earth (Spring Creek Book Company). Both books focus on pre-birth experience, a companion subject to near-death experience literature, gathering accounts from parents and families who describe encountering the souls of children before their earthly lives began. Coming from the Light compiles first-person stories framed around a period of existence prior to birth, while We Lived in Heaven extends the same inquiry with further collected testimonies. The books sit in the spiritualism and occult-philosophy categories and are directed at readers already engaged with afterlife and pre-existence literature, particularly those drawn to personal narrative over academic argument. Hinze's approach across both works is testimonial rather than analytical, built from the accumulation of individual family accounts rather than a single sustained thesis.
