Angels of the Lord: Calling upon Your Guardian Angel for Guidance and Protection

First off someone obviously made an error when originally posting this title -- cause the book just isnt l200 pages; its more like $l20, but the price is right anyway when you consider all the information you are going to receive upon cracking this book open.One thing you will not find is a book of lofty thought and religious philosophy -- in fact this is more of a how to book; a how to contact you guardian angel guide.For the authors see the subject in a ore magickal light, believing that angels are basicly invisible beings we can contact for guidance and protection and to bring riches and prosperity into our lives. There are all sorts of catagories of angels and benefits we can look for and ways and means to actually contact them and have them answer our prayers.There are even, say the authors, good times and bad times to try and communicate with these other worldly beings -- and you can even smoke them out sort of by burning candles and incense (in this regard also get yourself a copy of CANDLE BURNING WITH THE PSALMS, by Wm Alexander Oribello)to attract their attention.If you are a non believer this book will do nothing to convince you. But if you are looking for a practical way to find out all about your own individual guardian angel this is probably the best book available on the subject!

Have you ever wondered if you have a guardian angel? The belief that a benevolent presence is watching over us on an individual and personal level has persisted throughout the ages, and there is a huge amount of folklore and modern day true-life experiences that serve to reinforce the ancient belief that we have someone to watch over us when the game gets rough. In "Angels of the Lord," coauthors Arthur Crockett and Timothy Green Beckley tackle the daunting task of explaining a subject for which not much raw data exists. You may be surprised to learn that just how little we really know about angels, but the authors do their utmost to fill in the gaps of mystery and uncertainty that come with the territory of what angels are and how they operate in our earthly plane. The book includes an overview of many of the angel-related verses from both the Old and New Testaments. The implications of those verses teach us many things, such as the fact that angels sometimes appear in human form, usually without wings, and even eat and drink along with their mortal hosts. Stories such as the rescue of the prophet Daniel from the lions' den by an angel and the angels who came to minister to Jesus after his struggle against the devil in the wilderness remind us all that angels played a key role in many of the events in scripture.But stories from more recent times are included as well. Particularly interesting are the reports that have come down to us from soldiers who fought in the wars of the last couple of centuries. There is more than one account in which the tide of a battle is mysteriously turned by the presence of a battalion of angels who step in and rescue the Allies from total annihilation by the Germans. Just as fascinating are some of the real life anecdotes about people who are delivered from near-fatal accidents or other tragedies by the sudden appearance of an angel. There are many books filled with those kinds of stories, but it's always wonderful to read some new ones. These are instances where the angel's intervention was seen and understood, but, the authors ask, how about the numerous other times they were present to help us and we didn't see them at all?As to the authors' claim that one can be taught how to contact one's own guardian angel, perhaps that is best left to the individual reader's discretion. Still, the reader may be surprised to learn that many experiences that had been filed away as bizarre and difficult to understand were actually instances when a guardian angel had come to the rescue once again. One might see certain experiences in a different light after reading "Angels of the Lord."In any case, Crockett and Beckley favor us with an all too brief but nevertheless quite marvelous look at the historical and practical aspects of angels that not only informs and educates but also inspires.
