Evidence of Angels

I love fantasy art or really any type of art that has fantasy elements, so I knew I would enjoy this book. An enchanting read that I believe I'll look through several times before putting it on the shelf. The art and photography in this book is beautiful and moving. The vibrant colors and images jump off the page. An uplifting story that hope is never far out of reach even in your darkest moments.

Reviews from Brizmus Blogs Books

I actually had trouble starting this book, but not for the reasons you're probably thinking. Every time I picked it up, I was just so overwhelmed and awed by the beauty and inspiration of the images that I found that I couldn't help but look through the book at all of them, missing the words. I couldn't bring myself to read because the images were just too beautiful. Each image was vibrant and colorful; each image absolutely took my breath away. The angels in each of Suza Scalora's photos are so realistic and full of light that at times I felt myself believing that they were real angels that she had somehow managed to miraculously catch on camera. And who knows - maybe they were. When I finally made myself sit down and read the actual words on each page, I was not disappointed at all. The message that Scalora is sharing with us through her images of angels is so beautiful that I almost cried. Angels do exist. We are never alone. Sometimes help and/or comfort comes in odd or unexpected forms. When asked why she wrote "Evidence of Angels," Scalora's response was "My intention was to create a book which could transport the reader to a place of hope and courage within his or her own self." She succeeded. Every time in the futre that I feel lost, in need of hope or courage, I am sure I will turn back to this book. Just seeing those angels in such average places, watching over everyone, will, I am certain, instill in me the hope and courage that I need. This book inspired me. I haven't seen any of Scalora's previous books, but now I will be on the lookout! Who Should Read It? At the end of the book, it says "this book is dedicated to everyone who has ever felt alone." I couldn't have said it better myself. I have a friend who was just diagnosed with what they think is cancer, and I've bought an extra copy of this book for her.

Everyone could use some Angel Wings sometimes

I found out about this book after visiting the Authors website and was impressed by her work. I didn't expect what a gift this beautifully printed book would turn out to be for me. It is about how Angels inspire us to access the strength inside us all to better manage life's joys and sorrows. Scalora's message is simple, direct and doesn't stand on religious pretense, it's universally human in its delivery and it brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it. It's a book you want to leave out so you can pick it up again. As a picture book by itself it's superb. Each page contains stunning color photo illustrations that ride with the text like a friend and do not overpower the message. I find myself repeatedly attracted to this treasure. It's the kind of book that will give a parent as much as it gives the children and friends they share it with. "Evidence of Angels" is dedicated "To every person who has ever felt alone", I feel it is a book for every person with an open heart and the will to follow it. A gift to all and a joy to read. This inspired vision won't disappoint. I bought multiples to share with friends and family this holiday season.

A Breathtaking Visual Delight

I highly recommend Evidence Of Angels to absolutely EVERYONE! If you're seeking beautiful imagery wrapped up and tied together with enlightening and positive messaging then you won't be disappointed. Truly refreshing and great for people of all ages. Can't wait for Suza's next book!!!
