 | Explains reincarnation in the context of the long term plan for (and by) the soul. As the book says: "There is a need to create limitation, as the soul uses limitation in your realm for growth. As you experience limitedness, there is a need to overcome frustration, work within one's own parameters, and focus energy--an energy that cuts through the density in your realm and creates spaces of light and a higher vibration."

Books about karma and reincarnation abound. I've found you four, by three authors, that will help you understand these twin doctrines and how they apply to your personal life.
Paramhansa Yoganada was a Bengali (Indian) spiritual teacher and mystic who explored many Indian spiritual options before meeting his guru at 17. His book about his teacher and his own spiritual path 'autobiography of a yogi' introduced many people to meditation and the possibilities of yoga. He is what you might call a deistic yoga teacher: the experience of oneness with God is central to his path.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet was a channeler. She channeled 'ascended masters'. Ascended masters are people who were spiritual masters on this earth, before moving on to higher spheres. Because they were so advanced spiritually on earth, their teachings are of help to humanity.
Whether or not you believe in her channeling, her books combine Eastern and Western wisdom in a way that's very compelling. I would not advise anybody to read her books and have it end there. However, they are a great introduction into central spiritual concepts.
I've listed two of her books here for that reason. More books by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Robert Schwartz is the only one on this list who is still alive. A searcher for years, he decided to consult a medium in 2003. She astounded him with her intimate knowledge of not only his life, but also his thoughts and feelings. He delved into spiritual and metaphysical teachings after that. Studying pre-birth plans for dozens of individuals with the help of mediums, he found that very different lives were chosen by souls, for very similar reasons. His book 'soul's plan' was born.
