Angel Rescues
Over the River and Through the Woods
I was a guest on CFRB Radio in Canada, discussing angels with the host and callers. A young man named John phoned in, and told us of a time two years before when, as a college student, he had been touring Germany, and had lost his way. By the time he found the bus station, [...]
On Patrol
Kathleen Hauk, of Barrington, Illinois, was delighted when she discovered she and her husband were going to be parents. But the news didn’t slow her down. “In winter, 1999, I became vice president of marketing for a new website, and the job was very stressful,” she says. “Even though I was five months along at [...]
Nothing Too Small
“I just LOVE those angel stories,” says Donna Sheldon. She has no trouble believing that these holy beings do indeed watch over us. She and her teenage daughter Janna had gone to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant one evening. “The restaurant was in a very busy mall, where space was at a premium,” Donna [...]
Narrow Escapes
You may have heard of Youth for Christ, an organization created to help young Christians grow in their own faith, while also giving them the support and tools to offer God’s message of forgiveness and love to their peers. Amy King belongs to an offshoot of Youth for Christ, a performing group called Spirit Borne. [...]
Man on the Mountain
It was the evening after Christmas, 1998. The people in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia had had a white Christmas, which was an unusual occurrence there. Lana Burns was on her way home from visiting a friend. She had basically “stopped going to church except for special occasions,” she says, and [...]
Love on the Lake
About 12 years ago Carol and Larry were boating on Lake Havasu, near Las Vegas. They had done this many times, but today Carol had started to feel weak. The strange feeling persisted, and she eventually stood up and made her way over to her husband. “I put my arms around him, explaining that I [...]
He Works for the City
It was time for lunch, and Nicolette fixed herself and her preschool son a hot lunch, and settled down with him to watch cartoons on television, their daily ritual. Suddenly Nicolette started to choke. A piece of meat had apparently gotten caught in her throat. She tried to dislodge it, but nothing would work. Gasping, [...]
The Intruder
Diane had just returned home from buying groceries, and was in the kitchen putting them away, while her two daughters, ages five and one, “helped.” Diane lived then in a small house between a duplex and another little house in back of hers, and everyone shared the same driveway. Not much space—but the three families [...]
Garden Angel
It was spring, and Jeannette and Mimmo Aracri, of Newport News, Virginia, were preparing for the season. “My husband, who is Italian, always insisted that wherever we lived, we would have to have a large back yard so he could plant his vegetable garden,” says Jeannette. This particular lot had all of that, and a [...]
Falling Fan
Frank SanGregory of Tiffin, Ohio, was getting ready for work. He was on the afternoon shift so although his daughter Theresa and his almost-two-year-old grandson, Josh, were finishing lunch downstairs in the kitchen with Grandma, Frank had gone upstairs to shave. There was a large window at the top of the staircase, and right in [...]
