Then Along Came an Angel: Messengers of Deliverance

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Sandra.
Congratulations!

I have to say that I’ve never been a big believer in the supernatural, let alone angels. I do believe in God and all His devine power but I just could never grasp the idea of guardian angels.

However, after reading Then Along Came An Angel compiled by Julie Bonn Heath, I have to say that I’m having second thoughts.

From the book: “Then Along Came an Angel: Messengers of Deliverance is the first book of true angel intervention stories contributed to by authors all over the world who recognize the circumstances as the hand of God at work. Life changing stories include accounts of an abducted child miraculously returned, a van of youth pulled from crashing over a cliff by an unseen hand, thwarted suicide attempts , helpers who changed lives and then disappeared, victims saved from serious injury, and more.”

These stories of miracles happening every day to ordinary people really makes you stop to think about the forces behind them. How does one explain a father who opens a locked door to come to the aid of his daughter? Or how pieces from a broken light bulb formed a semi-circle around a little girl? Coincidence orĀ  something more?

Being a very busy person, I really appreciated how this book was written in short chapters. Whenever I had a spare few minutes, I just picked up the book and read a couple of stories. Of course, every time I finished one story, I just had to read another and another and another.

Then Along Came an Angel will force you to re-examine your beliefs and expand your horizons. And isn’t that always a good thing?

Win it!

    I do believe in Angels. I also believe God’s hand is at work in my life through the little things too like good friends who might be an “angel” to me in a specific circumstance or things that get my attention when I am being stubborn and serve as a “disciplinary” or “preventive” measure to keep me out of trouble. I’m enjoying reading what the others are saying about the book and stories too.

  35. MaryAnne says:

    I beleive in angels for the following reasons:

    1-when I had run out of gas, two men came out of nowhere and pushed my car to the nearest station
    2-when my son had his first convulsion, NO ONE stopped to help this hysterical mother, but a biker dude in a scarey car AND I had left my wallet in his car when I ran into the hospital AND he prayed for my son when he went into that after coma they go in to AND he returned my wallet/diaper bag to my husband at work AND sent a card later on
    3-when I broke my finger at a laundramat, a man was standing at a pay phone, without saying a word and lent me a quarter and then another so I could call for help

    and they ALL dissappeared right afterwards

    so, seeing as I dont beleive any longer in coincidences, these examples tell ME that God surely sent them to help me (in the dark, all alone–so histerical I would have crashed my car–in shock from the pain I was in)

    When my mother was a little girl, she was crossing the street and slipped on the ice. She lay helpless in the street as a car was heading straight for her. Suddenly she felt as if someone lifted her up and pushed her out of the way, and the car just missed her. But there was no one there. To this day she believes it was her guardian angel. Thank you for the great give-away.

She is mentally handicapped due in part to oxygen depravation, but she’s her and that’s all that counts! So yeah I believe in angels!!!

When I asked about the man the firemen said they had seen only me on their way back from another call.
