We are born into this world innocent, having just left God’s side. Eventually, when we leave the earthly plane, we return to God. As we proceed through the trials, tribulations, and lessons of this world, often caught up in its promises of money and power, or just caught up in the struggle to survive, we tend to forget where we came from. We lose that vital connection with our creator.

Along the way, some of us are reminded that we are not alone, that someone is watching over us, and if we have faith, we will be helped. We are rescued in times of need, lifted in times of pain and sorrow, comforted in times of doubt and loss. We get a small glimpse of the divine, and it restores and strengthens our faith, love, and hope. I call these blessings angel encounters.

Those of us who are truly blessed do rediscover our innocence and return our focus to the things that truly matter. We find our way back to God.

In this book, you will read firsthand accounts by everyday people who had angel encounters—people whose lives were saved or changed forever.

You’ll learn that there is indeed a higher power, and that our lives have meaning and purpose. I hope you will be touched by the spiritual awakenings, self-discoveries, and healing miracles you’ll read about in this book.
