If you are looking for a novel that has characters that move you, bring you to tears, and stay with you forever- this is not the book. The characters (dare I say 6 main characters?) are sometimes hard to follow. I constantly kept referring to the back cover to ask myself- which angel is paired with which woman? To me, the women all seemed the same. They had different lives, different angels, and different problems (one couldn't get pregnant, another couldn't forget her 'deceased' husband and mov...more

His mother Jody has been a widow for many years but still loves her late husband and is not sure she is ready to start dating again. Goodness is to help Monica Fischer, a preacher’s daughter who wants to get married. The problem is Monica is a bit too prim and proper and the man she has fallen for...more

The 3 separate stories guided by 3 angels with personalities are amusing and touching, but sometimes unbelievable. The prayers are answered in ways that would not be expected. I did like the wholesomeness of the story.

This was a nice Christmas story. The one thing that bothers me about these types of books thought is I always find mistakes. In this book Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy are helping one women who wants a husband, one who wants a father for her son, and one who wants a baby. I was especially touched by the story of the women who couldn't get pregnant. ( I could really relate to her) However, that was where I found mistakes in this story. Either the author, or editor did not research fertility treatm...more
Shirely, Goodness and Mercy are 3 angels that have not been perfect. They must each answer someone's prayer. Before they can answer the prayer, they must teach a lesson to the person who will have their prayer granted.
Mercy must help a lady who wants a baby. The ironic part is that she is a nurse who works in
maternity.
Goodness is to help Monica Fisher who wants a husband, however, it has taken so long that she has almost given up hope of ever finding one.
Lastly Shirley must help a 9year old...more

I have never read anything by Debbie before so I was little hesitant. The plot seemed out of my usual characteristics of books I read. What I found? I need to be more open-minded! 3 women, each have their own wishes and 3 mischievous angels are sent to help them. The characters are down to earth and you grow to love them and hope that they find what they are looking for. Added twists close to the end of book threw me off and yet made me smile! Excellent book! I couldn't put it down until I finis...more
This story of angels helping familys in need was a nice read. I was in the mood for a Christmas story and there were untones of christmas but it was more background than I was looking for. I did like the fact life is showen to be not cut and dry, sometimes just when you think everything is going as you want you discover it isn't what you need. There are always angels around you to help guide and support is a nice thought.
This is a fast read with a feel good ending.

This is the story of 3 angels sent by Gabriel to answer 3 prayers from people on earth. One prayer is from a little boy looking for a dad, one is from a lady looking for a husband, and the last is from a woman who is trying to have a baby.
The book jumps back and forth between the three prayer request. The angels do meet up and discuss things but the other characters are not intertwined.
It is a very easy read, somewhat predictable, but still a good heartwarming book.

I usually really enjoy Debbie Macomber's novels but this book was too preachy for me. I realized a book about angels would probably reference religion a little but this was way too heavy handed for me. I felt at times like the preaching got in the way of the plot & character development. While this book won't cause me to give up on Debbie Macomber completely, it will make me give up on THIS series!

This was s quick read... I was sick in bed looking for a book a book that would lift my spirits and this is one!
Thank you Debbie for sharing this story with us.

A story of three angels that were sent to help three women with their problems. These three angels did things that angels were not supposed to do, like appear on multiple tvs. You pretty much thought that things were going to work out but there were a few twists as to how the did. A marriage was canceled, a marriage did occur for another. One of the women did get her wish but not in the manner she thought.
Three angels, three people with special prayers. Timmy wants a father, Monica longs for a husband, and Leah wants a child. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy to the rescue. Their interventions may not be conventional, but reading the story brings you laughter, a few giggles and hope. God never leaves you, you may have to be patient to see His plan.

This book is about three women who need a little extra help finding their way so they were assigned three angels to help them. Things may seem to go awry but everything works out the way it should. An excellent book about Christmas, angels, and love. I'd rate this book an eight if I could.
This was a great story of three mischievous angels and the prayers they have to work to grant before Christmas. Each story could have stood as its own short story but the interaction between the angels was entertaining. I will definitely read more of this series.
Another excellent book from Debbie Macomber.
I love reading about Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. I believe we
each have a guardian angel looking after us.
Highly recommend this book and any book Debbie has authored. She is
an amazing story teller.

This is the beginning of the author's writing's about her three angels sent to help requestors with there prayer requests. The three angels have different assignments but are sent together to help each other out and to stay out of trouble (ha ha).

Cute Christmas story of 3 women and their holiday wishes/prayers. They each have an angel assigned to them to "teach" them something before their wishes can be granted. I've read this before, but thought it would be a good way to get into the Christmas spirit.
This is the first of the Shirley Goodness and Mercy series and I adored it. If you can't tell, I'm on a Christmas book kick and this one is the perfect to bring in the season. The 3 story lines are endearing and heartfelt; love is the reason. Thanks Debbie Macomber.
Book was easy to predict. Characters were fun and easy to follow! Loved the plot twists. Some of the romance was steamy...Not too much especially for a mature person. Got me in the Christmas spirit in August! Good easy read!
This was a good, fast, mindless seasonal read. I got it at our book club's Christmas party, and while I typically steer clear of these types of romances because they are utterly unbelievable when compared to reality, in general. Overall, I liked this one, and once I got to a certain point, couldn't put it down.
This book makes me believe in miracles! I have read this book every Christmas since I have bought it and read it usually in a day too. Such a heartwarming story that brings tears to my eyes that the story has to end.
I am not very far into the book, but so far the grammatical errors and typo mistakes are way too many. Did anyone proofread this before publishing?
Finished the book, not my favorite of her books and I kept finding errors. I find it har to believe it was ever proofread.

Sort of a Christmas book, but a cute read about angels sent to answer 3 people's prayers. They only have a few weeks to finish their jobs, and they are angels with certain quirks... making them very loveable.
Real tear jerker.. Heartbreaking story of 3 people. 1 wants a husband, 1 wants a baby and the others son wants a dad. Story takes you thru the trials of the angels providing the gifts to each person.
Cute... Kind of drags on. 3 separate stories: One woman who wishes to fall in love, one woman who is resuming dating after her husband has died, and one couple who is struggling to conceive a child,.. Angels come to grant their wishes!
Shirley, Goodness, & Mercy; three heartwarming angels who'll touch the lives of every reader. Debbie Macomber is a great author of love & miracles. Romantic, warm, & uplifting!
I read the whole book with a smile on my face.
It was probably a bit predictable - but it didn't in any way detract from the fact that it's just a really "nice" book. And I use the word nice in the best possible way.

I read this for the first time years ago and really enjoyed it. About every other Christmas or so I feel the need to check in again with Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy.
A fun, sweet Christmas read that I used to read every year (in high school!) and read again this year. Followed by Trouble with Angels and Touched by Angels.
