I didn't particularly enjoy some parts of the book and how it was written. Therefore, I gave it an average score of 3. I've read better books on angels. I guess I'm just more partial to a person's personal life story or memoir.

This author, who has seen her guardian angel only once in her life, but has been touched in her life many times over, agrees that there is still so much we don't know about angels. In the first four chapters, she tries to make since of the physical attributes and capabilities of angels. She points out a lot of speculations about what she and others believe angels to be. She says the Bible depicts angels very much like humans; theology of the day said angels were sexless spirits. The wings were portrayed by artists who mimicked early Greek and Latin sculptures who sculpted their gods with wings. Many may see angels with wings, but that may be to grab our attention and for us to see what we think we should see as angels. They have been known to show themselves in many forms. The author does express her belief that angels are messengers sent of God and their main job is to promote love and bringing all closer to God's love.


The middle of the book lays out 7 interesting stories by others who have been deeply touched and influenced by angels. And at the back of the book, the author lays out an example and gives a number of ways on how to tell if you have truly been visited by an angel, remembering an angel will never leave you feeling confused or tell you to do something that would put anyone else out.… (altro)
