Emma Heathcote-James
took her first degree in Theology from Birmingham University in 1997 and was
continuing her research for a doctorate when she noticed that angels were a
fashionable and popular talking point. She advertised for personal testimonials
from people in the UK who had experienced an encounter with an angel and she
received hundreds of replies, many of which are reported in this book. The
author had an experience herself of what could be described as an angel
encounter, though she remains neutral throughout the book, reporting as a good
researcher should, without prejudice. She hints that religions based on
revelation, such as Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam as
having been inspired by angels. In historical and religious literature, angels
acted as intermediaries between God and humankind, giving warnings and answering
prayers. Some, appeared as ordinary people, others appeared with wings. Julian
of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen and Teresa of Avila, each described angel
encounters as being accompanied by a beautiful scent. Angels of all kinds are
described, including the angel of death. It’s all you ever wanted to know about
angels – and more!
Emma has written several
other very popular books, including ‘Psychic Pets’ , ‘After-death Communication’
and ‘They Walk Among Us’, and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows to
talk about her research projects. Reviewer: Wendy Stokes www.wendystokes.co.uk
