I’ve always been fascinated by “supernatural” things. When was asked by The Family Review Network if I wanted to review this book, “Along Came an Angel,” of course I was interested. I believe in a God that does send people to be in the right place at the right time to help somebody, and I believe that He also sends angels to watch over us and help as well, just as described in this book. The title of the book tells it all, it’s stories that have been complied together sharing mysterious and uplifting stories about when an angel came along in a time of need. From car wrecks, to gracious strangers, to uplifting and life changing advice, it’s all good stuff.

It’s a very easy read, divided up into many short stories only a few pages long (much like “Chicken Soup for the Soul books). All the stories are wonderfully written and each tell a tale that gives you chills, but a warm and loving way. Myself not having much time to just sit and read for hours, this was the perfect book to do a review on amidst all my final exams and projects because I could take a break, read an uplifting story, and get back to my duties.

My favorite story?  It’s really hard to pick just one.  But, the one that sticks in my mind is about a young single  woman who drank too much one night and didn’t remember a thing.  She woke up in her bed, not knowing how she got there and not knowing why her car wasn’t in the driveway.  Later, a police man showed up and told her what happened. He pulled her over because she was swerving, she willingly got onto his motorcycle, gave him her purse, told him exactly where she lived, etc. Basically, if he had been another guy she could have been in real trouble, but the police man brought her home safely. He told her that she had to stop living this lifestyle because it puts her in danger and she might not be lucky next time.  She later found her car exactly where he told her it would be, and decided to send this man a thank you note for saving her and changing her life. However, when asking every police station near her if this man worked for them, there was absolutely no record of his name anywhere.  Crazy!

There are many, many other amazing stories and I definitely recommend this book.  It’s example after example of how wonderful and in what mysterious was God works within our lives.  Want to see what others are saying about this book?
