Earth Angels: Stories of Heavenly Encouragement Through Earthly Vessels

By Susan Duke

Book Overview

Touches of Heaven Right Here on Earth

The best stories -- the ones that touch our hearts at their very cores, the ones that inspire us to our greatest heights -- are true stories of ordinary people just like ourselves. People who share a kind word in time of need, who do a simple deed that lifts a weary heart, who make a difference in a difficult day.

The stories in this book are not about great, winged celestial beings sent from heaven's majestic gates. No, these stories are about earth angels. The kind of angels who unknowingly intercept a suicide attempt through a gentle act of kindness, beam messages of hope over an old CB radio, or provide patient care in a duck suit.

As you read the stories in this book, your spirit will be inspired and the strings of your heart tuned to opportunities for you to be a little bit of heaven right here on earth.

Heavenly Stories, Real People

Earth Angels pulls back the curtains of heaven a bit to expose the light of God working through ordinary people. We meet them on every corner--in our neighborhood, on the plane--yes, even in Wal-Mart. Yet we are often unaware of their extraordinary influence on our lives. These real stories not only encourage you to put on your angel wings and get to work, but they will inspire your faith in the goodness of humanity--and the greatness of God. These heavenly stories of real people encouraged me to let kindness never be random--but intentional, every day.

Like a warm, heart-felt embrace!

Beautifully written. Lovely quotes. Friendly format. In 15 short chapters, Susan Duke takes you on a journey of discovering that there really are angels all around you pointing you toward hope and help. You'll meet truckers on the road, a man who works at Wal-Mart, and a little boy in a checkout line, and realize there really are some wonderful people out there. This is a good book to curl up with on the couch when you're feeling down. Her "wing tips" at the end of each chapter will also encourage you to sprout wings yourself and reach out to others who are longing to connect and needing to know they are not alone in this world.

Earth Angels

I have read this book and it was such a blessing to me! I needed to know I'm not alone in this world and this book inspired, comforted, and made me feel special all wrapped up in one. I know that God watches over us and that we have guardian angels, but this book was a reminder in this time of need. I hope everyone that reads it will pray for God to open thier heart to be an earth angel for someone else in need. I certainly will be!
