Boston, MA, June 21, 2010 - The
inspiration for Arthur’s Soul Adventure
(O-Books) by Brian Chambers came in the form of a
dream of his father that compelled him to complete
the work his father began but was never able to
finish. In the dream he saw Arthur as a young boy,
standing on the railroad tracks in the tough
inner-city of Boston during the daunting years of
the Great Depression.
As Arthur stood on the tracks, he was holding out a
dark-covered book and speaking of his near-death
experience when he ‘died’ on the tracks one day and
how, after a brief time in Heaven, he was given an
important message to bring back. Unfortunately,
Arthur never shared this message with anyone
throughout his life, but as he held that book out in
the dream – it was obvious to Brian that he had to
write the book for his father.
The boy in the author’s dream was his father who
conveyed to him the important message young Arthur
received during his journey through Heaven.
Arthur’s Soul Adventure is the story of Arthur
and the journey he takes in Heaven alongside his
Guardian Angel George after he died temporarily
following a severe blow to the skull. Upon his
return from the journey he develops a warm
friendship with a lovely, yet reclusive, elderly
woman who believes in him and is deeply changed by
his message of hope. Another valuable lesson Arthur
learns is that God celebrates all the many paths we
take to get ‘home’ and that there is no such thing
as one right way there. After sharing his
near-death experience with friends, they also begin
to understand that their new sense of power comes
from within themselves.
This uplifting and beautifully scripted story of
faith is both funny and tender and its powerful and
sincere messages bring renewed hope for a better
world – something we can all benefit from in these
tumultuous times. Chambers’ is donating a portion
of his book’s proceeds to The Home for Little
Wanderers in Boston, whose mission is to ensure the
healthy emotional, mental and social development of
children at risk. Please check out this amazing

Rev. Bruce Cameron,
Ret.Bishop of Aberdeen & Primus of the Scottish
Episcopal Church:
“Through the ancient art of storytelling we can
discover deeper truths about ourselves and our
world. In Arthur’s Soul Adventure, we follow ten
year-old Arthur through his ‘heaven experience’ and
meet some captivating characters…through his
encounters with them we are then drawn into deeper
insights about the Creator God whose nature is love
and who lives in each one of us.”
Rhys
Thomas, Founder of Rhys Thomas
Institute of Energy Medicine:
“Chambers has created a wonderful journey directly
into the spirit of every man, woman and child…he
weaves the story of how the least among us can be
called at any moment to bring truth and love to the
world…this will appeal to all ages …it touches
anyone who is young at heart and still believes in
the miracles of life.”
Kate
Spencer, Artist:
“Arthur’s Soul Adventure has put me under a most
delightful spell…its combination of charm,
simplicity and poignant sense of truth was
exhilarating.”
