Angel on Trial

I loved Michael Landon's "Highway to Heaven" program. It gave a somewhat realistic look at angels and their deeds. Today's "Touched by an Angel" and "Promised Land" continue with God's work so we can understand what angels and good people do for everyone. "Angel on Trial" by Mary Ann Kerl and Jay d'Queue is a very light-hearted fictional look at the mishaps some angels have. From the moment Angela Four appears in Greg Matthews apartment till she gets her wings at the end of the book, the story line is funny and fast-moving. The concept of an angel traveling around the heavenly skys on a Harley Davidson is hilarious. The earthly characters she meets and the heavenly characters who try to guide her on the mission are all very believeable. The authors did a great job of bringing these people to life. The book should not be taken seriously by church goers but rather enjoyed as a different way of looking at angels. In reading it, one can also learn new words and ways of looking at the world and heaven. I would recommend this book for readers of all ages.
