5.0 out of 5 stars A highly respected journalist reports on angel encounters., October 13, 2004

By	Mary Kauffold "Unabashed fan" (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What sets Joan Wester Anderson's book apart from so many others with the word "angel" in their titles is her journalistic discipline. At the heart of each of her "In The Arms Of Angels" narratives is the diligent research and scrupulous fact checking that is Wester-Anderson's literary signature. It's little wonder that the last person to be rescued from the horrors of being buried alive at the World Trade Center on 9/11, chose this New York Times best-selling author to tell her near-death angel story. No one delivers a compelling, credible read on heavenly beings like Joan Wester Anderson. No one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting Angel Stories, January 14, 2005

By	Cynthia Sue Larson "www.realityshifters.com" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

At a time when more than 75% of all Americans publicly admit a belief in angels, IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS whets our appetite for angel information as it delivers a feast of wonderful stories about amazing and mysterious angel encounters. From tales of very young children saved from death by watchful guardians to stories about helpful men and women who have warned, protected and reassured those in need... these stories will make you want to laugh, cry, and get goose bumps of amazement. IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS is a perfect book to read at bed time every night, to remind us that we are never alone, and that there is always help at hand when we most need it. I give this book my very highest recommendation!

5.0 out of 5 stars In the Arms of Angels by Joan Wester Anderson, July 3, 2006

By	J. Misra (Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an amazing book. It is especially nice to send to people who are going through a tough time. It is helpful to those who are dying as it reminds them of God's great love, calms their spirit and gives them a sense of peace.
My children love to gather on our bed and listen to one of the stories. I give it my highest rating. Anything this author has written is worth keeping by my bedside.
