Animals have the amazing ability to fulfill the most basic human needs: love, affection, companionship, even survival. Their positive influence can have a profound effect on our everyday lives. Since founding the Angel Animals organization in 1996, Allen and Linda Anderson have heard from thousands of people worldwide, who have shared personal stories of how animals have enriched their lives. Angel Animals is a collection of these testaments -- an inspiring tapestry of tales spotlighting the spiritual truths that animals teach. From dogs, cats, and horses, to bears, dolphins, and deer, the animals featured in Angel Animals have not only led people to rediscover the meaning of courage, loyalty, and forgiveness ... but they have also proven that miracles are possible.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Many people are quick to tell stories of the often incredible bond between them and their pets, regardless of type. This book celebrates the depth of that bond. Personal accounts are arranged in three main sections: what animals teach us about relationships, about handling life's challenges, and about death, dying, and the afterlife. Each chapter contains upward of a dozen narratives illustrating concepts such as unconditional love, family harmony, grieving, trusting, and living healthfully. The Andersons, who cofounded an organization called Angel Animals, conduct workshops for pet owners to deepen the bond between them and their pets. Fans of the "Chicken Soup..." series will appreciate this bookAit's a warm-fuzzy for those who have experienced a close human-animal bond and is recommended only for public libraries where that readership exists.AEdell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., WI

Animal lovers will love this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Animals : Exploring Our Spiritual Connection With Animals (Paperback)
When one of my dearly loved dogs died of cancer a month ago, I picked up a copy of Angel Animals and turned right to Part Three: "What angel animals teach us about death, dying and the afterlife". Not only was the part about grieving so helpful, but then there were stories of messages from heaven, and stories about pets reincarnating. It took me beyond pet loss bereavement and opened up all the spiritual wonders of which our pets and animals have tried to show us since they entered our lives - mainly love never dies! I love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the contemplative exercises with each story, inviting us to look at life a new way - a way that an angel animal has pointed us to by their loving and divine natures. If you love animals or nature in any capacity, this book will prove how many of us are out there who see how vital this spiritual connection to animals is to our well being in everyday life. The stories are just fantastic, all from different people and about different animals! Love and thanks to the Andersons who wrote and compiled the book.

Grateful for this book!,

We really get an opportunity to get a deeper understanding out of our relationships with animals. What makes this compilation of stories unique are the thought provoking questions placed at the end of the chapters, helping the reader to relate the story to an area of their life. No matter how many times I read any one of the questions, I always get a very helpful answer to a situation in my life. As others have said, this is a must read for all animal lovers! It is great to see more credit given to these beings that are doing so much for all of life.

OK, I'm a contributer to the book. So you might think I'd be biased. But this is one of the best feel-good experiences you will ever enjoy. Trust me, and read about the trust and communication we can all share with the little angels that share our lives. You will not regret the time spent and will return time and time again.
