Chicken Soup for the Soul: Believe in Angels: 101 Inspirational Stories of Hope, Miracles and Answered Prayers

by Amy Newmark

These true personal stories of angels, miracles, divine intervention, answered prayers and faith in action will open your eyes to the angels, guardians and guides in your life.

Angels are all around if we are open to seeing them and accepting their help. They make miracles happen every day for people from all walks of life. You’ll be inspired, comforted and awed by these 101 stories from ordinary people who’ve had extraordinary experiences,

• Joshua, who can’t explain why his wife’s four favorite Bruce Springsteen songs played all in a row shortly after her death, even though he was listening to a completely different CD
• Hosanna, whose family was out of food but shared their last dinner with a homeless stranger who then showed up the next day with bags full of the exact groceries on her mother’s list
• MaryAnn, who was driving home from her daughters’ night game on the wrong side of the road and avoided a collision when her car was picked up and put on the grassy median
• John, part of a search and rescue team after a plane crash, who found a survivor who said angels deposited her in the palm tree she was clinging to just out of reach of the alligators
• Sue, whose friend strangely said “see you soon” from her deathbed, and then appeared to her in a vision the day she died, pointing out a tumor in Sue’s breast and saving her life
• Leo, comforted when he saw a man dressed in white caring for his dying grandmother after the family was in a fatal car accident, a man who no one else saw at the accident scene

LOVE THESE BOOKS

I have yet to find The chicken soup for the soul book, that I didn’t love. Every single book that I have read, has left me with a full heart.
They are wonderful short stories who inspire, and give hugs. Some will make you laugh others will make you cry. Love these books

I admit it, I'm only 40 page into this book, but I can already tell it's a 5 star read for me. The stories are sweet and encouraging and just what I need. I was feeling down yesterday and this caught my eye at the grocery store book section. I figure for the price, it's just the dose of encouragement and hope I need right now.

First, my bias: I have a story published in this book! #60 - The Angel in the Wreckage.

But, of course, I didn't write the other 100 stories, so I feel I can offer a fairly unbiased review.

I loved this book! All the stories are great, but many are absolutely goosebump-inducing. I literally found myself gasping out loud and saying "That can't be real!"

The writers of this book come from all perspectives and backgrounds, including a variety of faith traditions. Each story is unique in theme and delivery. It's published in the USA, but like me, several writers are from Canada or other countries.

The stories are short enough to be used as a daily devotional, or you can just sit and read the whole book for an oversized dose of inspiration.

Highly recommend!

CHIRP AUDIOBOOK

Some of the 101 stories are very good… and others are somewhat questionable. The Bible warns us against the use of mediums and soothing. In addition, when people pass from this world, they do not become angels which is implied in several of the stories. Do angels interact with us and assist us? Certainly. Just look at Psalm 91. They are angels of God posted here, with us, for our assistance and guidance. Many of the stories are credible and others…. not so much.

Admittedly, I do have a short story in this book. My first story to be published, taking me from writer to author. Most exciting for me. Of course, I am biased, but I loved the other one hundred stories found in this book. So inspirational.
Each story is short and can be easily read at one sitting. Turn off the news and read one of the stories, and your day will be much better for it.

Another Great Read

This book demonstrates that we can find joy and hope, even amidst tragedy. Even those who are skeptical about angels may begin to doubt themselves when they read the many stories about our spiritual guides.
