Little did we know in 1990 when we published this book that it would ignite the angel craze that swept this country. Now, with over a million copies sold, A BOOK OF ANGELS continues to be the cornerstone book on the topic.

From the Inside Flap:

m did not grow up believing in miracles or angels, but when she was twenty-eight an angel miraculously saved her life. For years she hid the fact from herself. What did it mean? Are there really celestial beings watching over our lives? Later, so many powerful and inexplicable forces and coincidences affected her life that she decided to write about them, and this in turn brought her back to angels and the profound ways in which, visibly and invisibly, they touch our lives.

An instant bestseller when it was originally published, A Book of Angels tells not only the extraordinary true stories of present-day encounters with angels, but also traces the understanding and study of angels throughout history and in different cultures. Burnham writes about the powerful male angels of the Old Testament, Zoroastrian angels, Buddhist bodhisattvas, Islamic angels, Hindu apsaras, the mysterious angels of the Kabbalah, of cherubim, seraphim, guardian angels, the angel of death, and more.
