Great Book for all ages!!!

I have bought this book for my book report and oh my! I did not only enjoy doing my book report I also learned and was moved by the stories that this book has. If you have children this book is one that you could use espacially when reading stories to your children at night. I am so glad I chose this book and couldn't have settled for anything more.

Awww

What an amazingly charming uplifting book! Its a quick read and I felt my spirits lift after reading it. I believe every word and it was great to see such touching miraculous stories put together in a cute little collection like this.I recommend this book for adults and children alike. Both can get something touching and comforting out of it.

An absolute gem!

I love Joan Anderson?s angel books, and this book is no exception. This angel of a book is devoted solely to children?s accounts of their heavenly visitors and it is a gem! This book is to be shared amongst families and it is a truly wonderful book to share with children to teach them about their loving protectors, who are with them always. I also found that I was given a gentle reminder that my guardian angel is always with me, even at my lowest moments!The stories are inspirational, and the messages of love, faith, and trust will carry with you long after you finish this wonderful book. You will cry, you will laugh, and you will want to read more! You will be left with feelings of love and knowing that someone is always looking out for you. My only complaint is that the book was not longer!!This book will touch your heart and leave you feeling uplifted. It is also a great book to open and read when one is feeling down and blue! What I found remarkable in most of the stories, was when the children were in a situation where they felt compromised or felt that they were going to be harmed, they remembered their parents saying to them to call on either God or the angels to help them. Once they invoked this petition, help was swift and sure. One cannot help but come away with feelings of amazement and total wonder and knowing that we truly are loved.A book to pass on and on!!!

Joan's books made me feel a brush of an Angel's wing

What can I do about Joan Wester Anderson's books about Angels ?I have 3 books from her : An Angel to watch over me When miracles happen and my favorite WHERE ANGELS WALK.These books are amazing is like a touch of Heaven everytime I read them ( I read them many times each of them )I feel like if many Angels were reading with me on my shoulders.It feels great. Thanks Joan I noticed I had some Angel's touches during my life that I didn't know. Everytime I read a testimony from her books A big smile of happiness and thankfull come to my face and thank GOD for helping all his children and myself. This sweet lady is a really nice person not only as a writter, ' cause many times when I need some prayers for my mom or myself, JOAN was one of the first persons to answer my prayer request. I think Joan must be a real Angel, ' cause not only she made feel pretty good everytime I read her books she helps me when I need some prayers too, I believe she is a real Angel helping a lot of people throught her books and good actions to help somebody, like all GOD's Angels do to help people. Joan Wester Anderson's books are a touch of Heaven on Earth. Buy them, it's garanteed

Spectacular!

This book is about touching stories of normal children who were helped by God's helpers, the angels. Even if you do not normally read religious writing, this book is touched gently with a taste of joy, and it will soon become a classic you can hold in your heart forever. Be your god Yahweh, Bhudda, or Muhamad, almost all of us answer to a higher power. This heartwarming book is perfect to read by yourself, with a friend, and esspesially your guardian angel.
