Description
On mountain slopes, on desolate rural highways, in airplane cockpits—these are just a few of the many places where ordinary people have felt the very real presence and power of God’s angels at work in their lives. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of her New York Times best-selling book Where Angels Walk, Joan Wester Anderson (the “Angel Lady”) offers dozens of reasons—stories, actually—for us to reconsider our rather limited view of angels. In addition to the original collection of angelic encounters, several new stories have been included.
Anderson, who holds traditional Christian beliefs about angels, was careful to select only those stories that had a ring of truth to them. But are they true? Do heavenly visitors really walk among us? Open this book—along with your heart—before you decide.

God sends his love on angel wings. Every story in this book is a faith-reaffirmation of our Heavenly Father’s love, protection and guidance for each of his children here on earth. Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson brings comfort, joy, peace and hope that God is constantly watching over us, and sends his angels to minister to us at life’s most painful, difficult or dangerous moments.
Each testimony is beautifully narrated, but what stands out more powerfully is God’s hand in each and every situation. Some stories had my eyes welling up in tears as I resonated with their angel encounters, others uplifted my spirit, and all convicted me that God is passionately in love with us.
This is the book that many hurting, lost souls need, to find their way back into the arms of our loving Father.
i have read joan wester anderson's previous books on angels...and was thrilled to discover that she had a 25th edition to ponder. thank you for sharing these angel stories w/ me. i have shared them w/ all of my reading friends.
I always like to read books about angels. I'm glad that I found this book.. Some of these stories give me chills to think about. This simple amazing book will strengthen your faith and get closer with God,
Enjoyable to read
Joan Wester has very carefully compiling these remarkable stories, also does not establish judgments or analysis around them, thus taking the anéctodatas interpretations and leaving the reader himself. The book beautifully built a very human quality to believe in something greater, faith, hope, goodness and altruism.
One may or may not believe in divine angels incarnate, but what is true is that goodness is real, it exists between us and other natural beings, and materializes in surprising ways. Love, altruism and kindness are powerful forces that transform and save lives, so you can not be the same as you were when you experienced it.
Many times, when we are receptive to the love of neighbor, we obey an internal mandate, which comes from our connection to a source of higher consciousness, and then we act as angelic messengers.
Where Angels Walk (25th Anniversary Edition) True Stories of Heavenly Visitors by Joan Wester Anderson published this Dec first a true moving, beautiful book plenty of wonderful true human stories.
The author starting from a personal story decides to ask to some newsmagazine and magazines to publish a letter: she was searching for stories of people who had met an angel.
With the time she started to receive dozens of letters from people of all the entire USA.
Why this idea?
Well firstly published 25 years ago this book has seen a lot of changes and the most important one the terrible terrorist attack at the WTC on 9/11/01. As I say always History changed from that point and nothing returned anymore peaceful. With the time I also developed the theory that the souls of people dead in that way can't find immediately peace, but ok this one is another story.
Of course the angel-theory developed by many authors including Joan Wester and supported by all our religions, catholic, muslin, hebrew one, regarding guardian angels, seemed in crisis.
Where were all these Guardian Angels when the terrorists caused all that messes? And mainly: was the destiny of that people the one of dying? And why? For giving a testimoniance to this world? Some of them have been heroic, I remember, able to change the route of the terrorist, because Americans have a great sense of the State and they wanted to preserve their institution but...
They're all very big questions, and no one knows God's scheme for all of us on this Earth but angels, according to the author became less fascinating than not in the past from that moment.
Hollywood after the terrorist attack at the WTC maybe thinking also at the future and at a sort of protectionism and strong of the fact that an icon and a symbol of the USA mortally attacked with all the departures that caused developed movies, speaking of Heaven, afterlife. Movies,
but also books changed in that direction and angels put in a corner.
Our world needed urgent answers: also of an afterlife, also of a dialogue with someone passed away in that horrible way. The precarious of the here and now and who knows if I will die tomorrow or in a hour, caused by the terrorist attack of 9/11 and a new terrible, perfidious invisible war established and wanted by some people for create a global destabilization of our reality asked for the Occident new answers and Guardian Angels, angels more in general where not in the "human agenda."
Angels are our guardians.
When I think of them I think at the postmen of God. They're the most directed messenger of God and my prayers often are directed to them.
I live them with great joy! I imagine them always busy, here and there sometimes able to create messes as well because their messages are quick and they run with their lights in every direction and in every possible corner of the world.
I always think God can be too busy wherever He is and He
can't listen to me. Not all the time. That's why I prefer celestial creatures.
My dad's name was Angelo and once he died few months ago I put him under the protection of the Angels, deciding for a beautiful gravestone written in cobalt. I know something: that Angels are very powerful and beautiful divine creatures.
Back to the book Joan developed so the idea of creating a book with a lot of real Angel-stories where people had met these ethereal creatures.
I strongly suggest to everyone this wonderful book!
