Reviews
Praise for A Book of Angels "Like all good books, it exceeds the subject and illuminates the tough, tiring, and sometimes miraculous business of living, where angels sometimes help out...The visible and invisible dance with each other continually and as far as angels are concerned, now you see them, now you don't. A Book of Angels gives us a lovely, sustained glimpse." Chicago Tribune "Charming eclectic." The Washington Post "A compelling book." The Baltimore Sun "Lovely...A Book of Angels is the apt addition to any home in which wonder and joy are still appreciated... An inspiring and touching book." Cape Cod Times

Synopsis
Sophy Burnham did not grow up believing in miracles or angels, but when she was twenty-eight an angel miraculously saved her life. For years she hid the fact from herself. What did it mean? Are there really celestial beings watching over our lives? Later, so many powerful and inexplicable forces and coincidences affected her life that she decided to write about them, and this in turn brought her back to angels and the profound ways in which, visibly and invisibly, they touch our lives. An instant bestseller when it was originally published, A Book of Angels tells not only the extraordinary true stories of present-day encounters with angels, but also traces the understanding and study of angels throughout history and in different cultures. Burnham writes about the powerful male angels of the Old Testament, Zoroastrian angels, Buddhist bodhisattvas, Islamic angels, Hindu apsaras, the mysterious angels of the Kabbalah, of cherubim, seraphim, guardian angels, the angel of death, and more. What do angels look like? Whom do they choose to visit? Why do they appear more often to children than to adults? With great feeling, Burnham explores how man has responded to their beautiful presence and inspiration, quoting from poets, mystics, and saints. Here are ruminations about angels from Milton, Dante, Goethe, Shakespeare, Blake, Rilke, Dostoyevski, Swedenborg, Poe, and the classic words of the Bible and Koran. An eloquent report from the place where earth and heaven meet, A Book of Angels is a quest into mysteries and a song of praise to life.
