Pure Light, May 12, 2000
This review is from: Dialogues with the Angels (Paperback)
I have read many books by "New Age" types describing their experiences with the paranormal. This is unquestionably the most compelling and well written of those books. Ms. McCannon tells a biography of sorts outlining her experiences with guardian angels, healing angels, teaching angels, and out of body experiences. Other people have written on these subjects but this is the first book that took me by the hand and let me "see" and "feel" what was happening. The writing style is conversational -- you feel that the writer is sitting in the room with you telling her story. There were moments that made me laugh and others when I had to put the book down until I stopped crying. I recommend this book for anyone who needs to get back in touch with the wonder they knew when their world was full of magic and they were certain that fairies were real.

A Personal Journey, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Dialogues with the Angels (Paperback)
This is a great book, both for the information and the personal journey of the author. It's like reading two books: one with information about angels and the like and another about a regular person's journey into esoteric spiritual information. As such, it's a great book on both counts, both to enhance your own journey with great information and validate the journey itself.
As an aside, this book is one of the reasons I love Amazon. I looked for this book as part of a spiritual reading group and couldn't find it anywhere. The local bookstores in my town (bless them) couldn't even locate this book in their databases. Amazon to the rescue!

Great book on angels, January 20, 2011
This review is from: Dialogues with the Angels (Paperback)
Dialogues with Angels is one woman's journey to finding her true self, and her mission in life. Tricia McCannon comes across as warm and totally honest, from a dysfunctional upbringing, worthy of an Oprah show, to her search for more meaning in her life, McCannon shows us her life warts and all. And what a life it is. The author connected with her guides/angels in a way that I'm sure most of us will never do, but that's okay because McCannon gives us what her angels gave her, information and the comfort that we are not alone.
With great practicality, McCannon explains how to get in touch with angels through automatic writing, meditation, dialoguing, saying it just takes a little practice. Talking out loud to them brings them closer. Well maybe so, but I wouldn't want anyone to hear me doing it or I might be labeled schizophrenic. All kidding aside, McCannon makes getting in touch with angels seem easy, and as she talks about them they seem so real that I'm already half-convinced and ready to try a few of the methods she suggests.
"Angels operate through economy. If it is less disruptive to get our attention by having a book fall of the shelf and land on our heads than by materializing in our bedrooms, that is the route they will take. They operate through subtlety. They will nudge someone to come to our aid when we are sick or need encouragement . . . And on occasion they will call our names aloud." page 109. Now someone calling my name aloud will likely scare the life out of me, so I'm suspecting that won't be the case for me.
An amazing book on angels told from the perspective of someone finding their own. When I've looked at other books about angels, the author never says exactly how they came across all the information they share with us, but McCannon lays it out. Maybe if I follow her advice, I too can find my own angel and not have to take anyone else's word for it, but that calling my name aloud thing . . . maybe a book falling on my head would be more appropriate.
