Author Joan Wester Anderson fascinates and inspires with stories of modern-day miracles and how they touch us


Some publishers seem to think that there is no interest left in this topic.  I would like to prove them wrong---and to open the doors for other authors who are writing along similar lines. But I really can't do it without you (I'm getting older and more feeble, and need all the energy and help I can get!)  So here are some ways you can help.

---Well, of course, the most important way is to buy IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS.  Give it to someone else after you have read it, or remember someone at Christmas or their birthday or at a death in the family or when they are having a hard time.

 
---The next great help is to tell others about it.  Lots of you have mailing lists of your own, clubs, organizations, relatives...  Spreading the word helps so much. Or call your local library and ask them to order a copy so others can enjoy it too.

---If you are in a book club, IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS might make a perfect selection for Christmas or Easter meetings.  Some questions are posted below; feel free to copy them.  Please let me know if you would like questions developed for other books in this series.

What was your impression/understanding of angels before reading this book?  Has it changed?  Did you believe all the stories? If not, how would you explain these occurrences?

 Which story affected you the most? Why?

Under what circumstances do you think angels are most likely to appear?  To whom do you think angels would most likely appear? Are you such a person?  After reading the book, did you recall any experiences in your own life that might have been "divine interventions?"

Genelle Guzman, the heroine of “Guardian in the Tower,” was interviewed extensively on television and in newspapers, as 9/11’s last survivor. However, her experience with Paul was rarely mentioned.  Why do you suppose that was?  Are you pleased, surprised or irritated when the secular media focuses on spiritual topics?

In “This Little Light of Mine,” teacher Robin Lee Shope brought about a great change in one of her most difficult students.  Can you remember any mentors, teachers or others, who did that for you?  Have you ever thought of locating this person and telling him/her what an effect his help had upon you?  Could Robin rightly be called an “earth angel?”

In “A Message for Rita,” the title character was angry at God.  Why?  Do you think we have a right to expect a happy or healthy life if we “obey the rules?” 

Have you ever felt prodded to do something that, initially, didn’t make sense, like Mona Barnes in “Heavenly Vision”?   Did you forge ahead or pull back?  Why? How did the situation work out?

In “Beyond Coincidence,” how do you think Paul Barkley was changed by his encounter with the angel? Would you want an angel to appear to you? Why? If so, under what circumstances?  How do you think you would respond if an angel appeared to you?
