Angels in Our Midst: Encounters with Heavenly Messengers from the Bible to Helen Steiner Rice and Billy Graham

by Guideposts (Contributor)

Angels In Our Midst is a special Guideposts collection of true stories in which ordinary human beings have had rather extraordinary encounters with heavenly messengers. In the Bible there are angels to be read about from Genesis to Revelation, and you'll find many of them in the pages. You'll even meet angels who visit us today a learn a bit about the messages they have to convey. In this book you are  invited to ponder the tales of ministering spirits who by their presence provide not just succor, but the reassuring evidence of a loving God who is forever watching over us. And when you finish it's likely you will have a new appreciation of phenomenon that heretofore you may have only sensed.

This inspirational book of angels will cause you to look back over your life and recall certain inexplicable happenings that left you puzzled or in awe. It is  then that you will understand some of the mystery and  beauty of the events related in these stories. Gradually your understanding will deepen, so that you, too, may hear what the poet Betty Banner has heard as "the swish of passing wings." 

Angels In Our Midst was created by the editors of Guideposts  Magazine, a monthly magazine filled with true stories of people's adventures in faith. Founded by the late Norman Vincent Peale, the magazine appeals to a wide spectrum of American believers and has a circulation of over four million readers.

This is the second time I've read this and it was just as good. It is excellent in showing how some people think of angels helping them. It is also backed by biblical examples. I bought this a long time ago when I was researching Angels for a book that I tried to write. I've given it a 4.5* rating. It was certainly worth reading again.

A collection of very heartfelt accounts that are sure to have something inside for every reader. A delightful little read. I may return to it in the future. I certainly teared up!
