Angels

Beloved best-selling author Joan Wester Anderson breaks new ground in her latest collection of moving accounts of miracles, healings, and angelic visitations. These stories carry a profoundly important message: God answers prayer. "There's real power in prayer," Anderson writes. "We're not exactly sure how it works, but we can trust that God's intense love for us will carry us through."
Anderson has collected astonishing first-hand accounts of the power of prayer: a dying infant inexplicably recovers after an encounter with a mysterious visitor; a long-lost son suddenly returns home for Christmas; a young man drowning in an icy river unaccountably finds himself on shore; a grieving widow, alone and far from home, receives comfort and counsel from angels in disguise. These stories and dozens of others show ordinary people taking their needs to God. All of them received what they needed from a loving God who responded to their deepest needs.
Writing with her signature charm and warmth, Joan Wester Anderson recounts stories that will deepen her readers' spiritual lives. They demonstrate, with convincing simplicity, that prayer is the key to a relationship with a loving God.

What are the angels really like? What will we feel and sense in heaven? What would it be like to experience the void before Creation? These are some of the otherworldly questions Mother Angelica takes up in Mother Angelica on God, His Home, and His Angels. In this book we experience not just Mother Angelica the teacher, but Mother Angelica the mystic.

The foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network was first a cloistered, contemplative nun. This book contains the fruits of her Eucharistic contemplation, written while in adoration of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Out of that mystical communion come mystical and theological insights into the nature of God the Father, the experience of heaven, and the ministrations of His holy angels.

Richly illustrated with fine art, Saints and Angels describes the lives and works of many familiar and unfamiliar saints and angels. Among those included are the apostles, John the Baptist, Joan of Arc, and the first native-born American saint, Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton. Details of feast days and patronages are also discussed. Coverage includes information about choirs of angels, guardian angels and fallen angels.
