Book Reviews of A Book of Angels: Reflections on Angels Past and Present, and True Stories of How They Touch Our Lives
Book Review: Direct Encounters with the Divine
Summary: 5 Stars
_I have read this book through at least three times since its first publication. It isn't the most scholarly, and it certainly isn't the most dogmatic, of angelic studies. What it is, is an honest, sincere exploration of the miraculous and mysterious in life. The author surveys reports of the angelic from all times and cultures. Like all true mystics her motivation came from a desire to understand her own personal experiences. It is for this reason that I identify with it also.
_Some people will roll their eyes and automatically dismiss any discussion of angels. These are those types that have hardened their hearts out of excessive and exclusive materialism and rationalism. However, according to Platonic principle, like attracts like. Those who resonate with hardness and darkness shall attract the like, while those who resonate with harmony, beauty, mercy (the Good) will attract the Universal Soul. Angels are the servants and messengers of this Universal Soul.
_On a more mundane note, this is an extremely well designed and illustrated book (as should be all books touching on spiritual matters.) The illustrations by Gustave Dore' and William Blake are especially powerful.
