Synopsis

Angels In Our Midst is a special Guideposts collection of true stories in which ordinary human beings have had rather extraordinary encounters with heavenly messengers.

In the Bible there are angels to be read about from Genesis to Revelation, and you'll find many of them in the pages. You'll even meet angels who visit us today a learn a bit about the messages they have to convey. In this book you are invited to ponder the tales of ministering spirits who by their presence provide not just succour, but the reassuring evidence of a loving God who is forever watching over us. And when you finish it's likely you will have a new appreciation of phenomenon that heretofore you may have only sensed.

This inspirational book of angels will cause you to look back over your life and recall certain inexplicable happenings that left you puzzled or in awe. It is then that you will understand some of the mystery and beauty of the events related in these stories. Gradually your understanding will deepen, so that you, too, may hear what the poet Betty Banner has heard as "the swish of passing wings."

Angels In Our Midst was created by the editors of Guideposts Magazine, a monthly magazine filled with true stories of people's adventures in faith. Founded by the late Norman Vincent Peale, the magazine appeals to a wide spectrum of American believers and has a circulation of over four million readers.

About this title

About the Author

From the 1920s and beyond her death in 1981, Helen Steiner Rice was and is an unofficial poet laureate of hope and optimism. Her books have sold more than seven million copies and comforted nations through some of history's darkest moments. There probably isn't a family today that hasn't received or sent a greeting card featuring Rice's work, and her writings continue to inspire a new generation on-line, in gift books, and through note cards.- Publisher.<br /><br />An American icon and the greatest religious leader of our time; hailed as the world's preacher, Billy Graham's career has spanned more than five decades and his ministry of faith has touched the hearts and souls of millions. He has preached the Gospel to more people in a live-audience format than anyone else in history - more than 210 million people, in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including Mission World and Global Mission.

Today Billy Graham and his ministry are known around the globe. He has preached in remote African villages and in the heart of New York City, and those to whom he has ministered have ranged from heads of state to the simple living bushmen of Australia and the wandering tribes of Africa and the Middle East.

Since 1977, Dr. Graham has been accorded the opportunity to conduct preaching missions in virtually every country of the former Eastern bloc, including the former Soviet Union. Born William Franklin Graham, Jr., in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1918, he entered the ministry in 1943 and soon began conducting evangelistic crusades. In 1950, he founded The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which has sponsored crusades and produced radio and television programs as well as films.

Dr. Graham has written 24 books, many of which have become top sellers. His autobiography, Just As I Am, published in 1997, achieved a "triple crown," appearing simultaneously on the three top best-seller lists in one week. Billy Graham has been honoured with many awards. He lives in Montreat, North Carolina. His wife Ruth passed away on June 14, 2007
