The Big Book of Angels: Angelic Encounters, Expert Answers, Listening to and Working with Your Guardian Angel
Are angels for real?
A disabled young girl, lost for hours, reports that a "shining lady" brought her home. An angel comes to a woman in a dream, shaking her and rousing her from a near-fatal diabetic coma. A pair of angels delivers wood to a family snowed in by a blizzard. Are angels for real? Of course they are.
George Washington was inspired and comforted by an angel who visited him as he stood by his ragged troops during a difficult winter at Valley Forge. This angel laid out for him the promise and vision of a new nation. Charles Lindbergh saw "friendly, vaporlike shapes" who guided his voyage across the Atlantic in 1927. While praying for the safety of his son, a soldier, J. R. R. Tolkien received "a vision of divine light, which connected every human soul directly to God." And George Frideric Handel, at fifty-two, with one arm paralyzed, exclaimed on finishing the "Hallelujah Chorus," "I think I did see all Heaven open before me and the great God Himself."
Along with these incredible, comforting stories, The Big Book of Angels answers specific
* What angels can and can't do
* Why they appear when they do

* Whether it is possible to call angels in prayer or in times of need
The Big Book of Angels will help you surround yourself with love in your darkest moments, encourage you when hope is dim, and reassure you that you are not alone, that God is always close and always ready, willing, and able to reach out to you through his loving helpers.

Somewhat interesting. This book deals with angel experiences from a largely Christian viewpoint, with a patriarchal concept of "God" and a view that we have only one Guardian angel. Most interesting was the final section where famous historical figures are claimed to have had their own angel experiences.
