Author:Sky Real Lives
With a foreword by Gloria Hunniford, ten people tell the story of their Angelic encounters.
In Greek Angelos, in Latin Angelus, and in Hebrew Malak. Three names, one meaning: Messenger. But we know them simply as Angels. Artists have painted them, choirs have sung about them, poets and authors have written about them. For many they bring messages of love and reassurance. And a promise that we're not alone.
Angels contains inspirational and compelling stories of modern-day Angelic encounters - and includes a unique interview with bestselling author and angel expert Glennyce Eckersley, who tells how angels have changed her own life. From the truly astonishing story of the man whose angel brought hope as he lay trapped and burned after a horrific accident, to that of the soldier whose angel saved him from a bullet, every encounter is different. But in each, the radiant truth shines through: there are angels everywhere ready to help us, supporting us with gentle love and care when we are at our most vulnerable.
