Angels of Grace

by Geoffrey James

Book Overview

From the Angel of Love to the Angel of Quiet...fifty 'angels' - or virtues, or attitudes- to inspire and help is for a week, a month, a year, a lifetime. Angels in the Bible are messengers of God, images of God's presence. They show us that there is 'more' to our life, that it relates to something beyond ourselves. Here, each embodies an attitude that is a virtue, meaning, power and strength. Each is at once an inspiration corresponding to a deep desire and the spiritual travelling companion to give us the hope and confidence that can realise that desire. 'Angels', says the author, 'are here beside us, so thjat we are not here alone praying to God with our troubles. Angels tell us: God is near; you are bathed in God's healing and loving presence.' So, meet the Angel of Truthfulness, the Angel of Mercy, the Angel of Courage, the Angel of Gratitude, the Angel of Forgiveness, the Angel of Patience, the Angel of Freedom, and many others. They enable us to become fully what they are - and we in fact already are - manifestations of the grace of God. All are angels angels of Grace. Anselm Gruen is a Benedictine monk, noted retreat-giver, and spiritual guide.The growing international success of his books is an indication of his ability to appeal simply and directly to people's needs. Inspiring and empowering, his books spring from a Christian context concerned with wholeness and healing without attachment to any limiting school of thought.

A delightful Objective Read

James' book is a historical summary of angelic magic from the beginning of time to today. His interest is historical, so the book has a more "objective " flavor than most books published by Llewellyn. Especially recommended for "armchair Magicians" (i.e., people who like to read about it but rarely do it.)

Written as if an Angel had held a golden pen.

Read it! Loved it! Shared it with friends. This is one of the better books on Angel Magic I have read. I keep it on my nightstand just in case I need a quick review. Applause to Geoffrey James for his wealth of knowledge and his ability to write it in a clear and concise manner.

It was one of the most instructive and objective book ever .

I have read many books about angels, in english and spanish, but this one was superb.
