What is an Angel?

In What Is An Angel? One meets Olivia, an elementary school student, who finds herself immersed in all the Christmas decorations in her classroom. What really captures her attention, however, are the angels hanging on the Christmas tree. She asks herself, What is an angel, anyway? This is ultimately answered and explained by her Aunt Rose. Readers young and old will clearly understand the work of angels in our lives, as directed by God. The last sentence in the book leaves the reader in thought and peace with the suggestion of an angel s physical presence. One must read to find out how this is done!

Live Like Paul

  • They say (whoever "they" may be) that everything happening in our lives is in divine order.
