Every week the popular magazine Woman's World publishes the My Guardian Angel Column edited by Amy Oscar with commentary from Doreen Virtue. It is one of the main reasons I get the magazine just to see what the angel story is featured for that issue.

In My Guardian Angel: True Stories of Angelic Encounters from the Readers of Woman's World Magazine we get to read the top angel stories collected from past issues of Woman's World all in one book!

I enjoyed this book so much that I am going to read it again and again.

There is an introduction by Amy Oscar that explains how originally the My Guardian Angel Column was actually canceled and no longer would be inside Woman's World magazine. But, she had received so many letters of true angel stories that she couldn't just put them away. It turned out the angels had a divine plan in store.

What I enjoy about this book is that Doreen gives small doses of angel wisdom of easy ways to reach your angels.

It doesn't matter how you ask for the angels' help. What matters is that you do so. page 27

Birds and butterflies, especially those that behave in unexpected ways or appear in an unusual location, are often signs from
Heaven. page 53

Notice license plates and bumper stickers, because they often convey personal messages from Heaven. page 128

If you get an intuitive feeling to help someone, Heaven is probably enlisting you as an earthly angel at the moment. page 159

There are stories of entertaining angels without realizing they were until they vanished. Doreen even includes 3 clues if you've encountered an angel that briefly comes in human form and disappears.

We also get readers stories of those who crossed over including both animals and relatives who gave signs (including comical) ones to let them know they were from them, protection when traveling by plane and on land, finding missing items, and getting prayers directly answered from the angels.

My favorite story was the one called " The Rainbow Bear" from the Answered Prayers section shared by Patti Patrignelli from Monroe, NY. Her husband and her would take their kids every year to the amusement park for vacation. There was an area where they have games where you could win prizes. Her three children really wanted this jumbo rainbow bear they saw. Her husband spent $20 trying to win the bear for them but unfortunately wasn't able to. Patti has always told her children to ask the angels for guidance and later that evening her son had inquired to his mom if the angels could help them get the bear and she told him yes. All three of her kids prayed for the outcome to get the bear, but this time her husband spent $40 and still no bear. Her kids were obviously disappointed by this but she tried to reassure them that the angels must have something else in store. Turns out they did. When they all went back to the parking lot to get in their car they saw a male teenager holding the exact jumbo rainbow bear in his hands. Patti questioned how he won it and he told her that he was very lucky. Then he asked the kids if they wanted the bear and of course they all shouted with a joyful "Yes!" That wasn't all..three $20 bills rolled up right to them the amount the father had spent to try to win his children their prize.

This book is full of loving angel stories and antidotes that is a touching read!

A Book of Angels Review

A Book of Angels by Sylvia Browne

Price:$13.95

227 pages

Sylvia Browne's A Book of Angels brings us into the landscape of angels that one might not be too familiar with.

At the start of each chapter there are glorious looking black and white pencil sketch drawings by Christina Simonds showing an angel of a diverse background such as an Asian female angel to a Native American male angel.
Sylvia also includes a quote from sacred texts such as the Holy Bible or Koran pertaining to the group of angels she is going to be discussing.

Sylvia introduces as to the reason why she believes in angels after a family tragedy. Her mother's brother, Paul, who had the gift like Sylvia was diagnosed with cancer too late. While he was in the hospital hanging on for life, a brilliant white light entered the room filling it with peace and joy. He told his mom that this was an angel whom had come for him.

She explains that angels most of the time communicate with us through telepathy or thoughts in our mind and not with spoken word which is why so many of us might complain that angels aren't talking to us..well they don't! Not in the way we expect anyhow.

There is an angel chart in the book that goes into detail about the ten phylum or levels of various angels that cover the Angels, Archangels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Powers, Principalities, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues and Carrions.
On this chart describes their specific animal totem, element, stone, color of their wings, purpose, and function.

Archangels totem is the wolf while their element is rain since like rain the archangels are fantastic for cleansing.

Never before have I read an angel book in which all of these angels are given the spotlight and told of what they are capable of.

Azna or Mother God is discussed as is Father God along with their group of angels.
She encourages us to ask Azna and the archangels for help daily.

You will find answers to twenty eight frequently asked questions given to her by fans over the years with such inquiries if everyone has a guardian angel, why did God create angels, why can't angels help us more, how to address angels,etc.

A great piece of information in this book is of your birth chart. Every person has a specified chart in which they made before their soul enters here on this planet and life themes to fulfill while alive.
Virtues govern over these charts and can deliver us when we are going through too much pain or difficulty than we can bear.

There are meditations for you to receive healing and gain intercession from each of these angels and true angel letters encountering angels.

Excerpt from page 138:

MEDITATION FOR HELP WITH OUT CHARTS,
AND IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

Sit or lie in a comfortable, meditative position. Close your eyes. Relax your feet, your ankles, your calves, your knees, your thighs, and your buttocks area. Relax your body up through your trunk, arms, fingers, neck, and head. Take three deep breaths, surround yourself with a golden light, and pray the following prayer.

Dearest Mother, please send your angels to help me with ______________(state petition), so that I will fulfill my chart, but I ask for Your intercession in this time of sickness,despair, grief, or hopelessness. Let Your angels come and watch over me. Remove all pain and suffering and help me to see the light out of this dark tunnel, and to give me health and insight into my life.

Sylvia's real yet loving attitude and charm comes through each word in this book.
She refers to the angels and God with such warmth it makes you smile.
