Dreams really can transform lives – but to do so they must first be shared
Arthur’s Soul Adventure (O-Books) was written in order to complete the work the author’s father had begun but was never able to finish. Brian Chambers had a dream one day but it was no ordinary dream. He saw his dead father as a young boy standing on the railroad tracks in Boston during the Great Depression, telling him how he almost died on the tracks one day and how, during his near-death experience, he briefly visited heaven and was given an important message to bring back. Unfortunately, his father never shared this entrusted message with anyone throughout his life, but as he stood there in the dream, holding out a dark-covered book, Chambers knew it was the book he had to write for his father – and that is how the story of Arthur’s Soul Adventure was born! Filled with the perfect blend of humor and bittersweet experiences, it is guaranteed to touch hearts and souls everywhere with its powerful messages.
This amazingly uplifting story is about Arthur, an inner-city boy who dies temporarily after a severe head injury, and the incredible journey he takes through heaven alongside his Guardian Angel, George. When he returns from his fantastic excursion, he develops a close friendship with a lovely, yet reclusive, elderly woman who believes in him and who experiences a deep, personal transformation after she hears his message of hope. Arthur himself learns many valuable lessons, one being to keep an open mind and not listen to those who would have us believe there is only one right way ‘home’ – understanding that God delights in all the many paths we take in order to get there. As Arthur shares his near-death experience with friends, they also realize that their new sense of power comes from within themselves.
As the author shares his father’s entrusted message, he adds a memorable touch to each book by offering a symbolic green marble – which is Arthur’s way in the story to describe how much our Creator loves us all. Chambers’ is donating proceeds from the sale of the individual marbles to The Home for Little Wanderers in Boston, whose mission ensures the healthy emotional, mental and social development of children at risk.

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.”
