Angels: Beings of Light - The Wisdom and Teachings of God's Messengers on Earth

by Linda Porter

This book is divided into two parts. The first part chronicles the human side of the story--how a woman--a skeptic--found herself in a place where she not only came to believe in angels, but began a tangible relationship with a group of them. She speaks of the healing power of angels and how they share God's love and light. She explains in concrete terms how being open to them resulted in a partnership unlike anything she could ever have imagined. They told her of many incredible things, including the outcome of the 2000 Presidential Election and its importance, weeks before it was reached. The angels informed her that together they would be writing a book. She was to be responsible for her part of the book--the telling of her story--of how her search for God resulted in an amazing spiritual awakening. They would be responsible for their part--the Teachings. They proceeded to dictate (to her) twenty-six teachings for living a more spirit-filled life. Their words are filled with beauty, love, and encouragement as they share their wisdom. Following these teachings will lead one to a more fulfilling Earthly life and bring forth a greater awareness of our connection to each other and to God--one that is richer and fuller than most of us currently realize. The Teachings are found in the second part of this book. As you read their words, you will realize that you have gone beyond the Earthly, and have indeed been touched by something sacred. Angels are the messengers of God. And if you heed their words and try to implement them, your life will be changed. It can not help but be. So suspend your Earthly skepticism, and give the angels a chance. You will definitely be the better for it.
