I had read "Where Wonders Prevail" by Joan Wester Anderson a couple of years ago and loved it. So, I was very excited to see this new book by Anderson, "Guardian Angels: True Stories of Answered Prayers" at the library. I wasn't disappointed. "Guardian Angels" shares the same format, offering examples of divine intervention in people's lives - mysterious Good Samaritans who appear out of nowhere in a person's hour of need or extraordinary circumstances that simply cannot be explained in human terms.

If you don't believe in angels, you should read this book. It will convince you that there are other beings who walk through life with us and help guide our way. If you already believe in angels, "Guardian Angels" will only serve to reinforce that belief. It is filled with wonderful, touching stories, quite a few of which made me tear up. It is such a reinforcement of the good in the world. We all need that now and then.

I love to read the short, true stories of other persons' positive experiences when they ask God to help them with their challenges in life. I read one story a night before going to bed, and end the day on a positive note. At about $10 a book with free shipping from Amazon, they made super gifts for my friends at Christmas.

Joan Webster Anderson never disappoints! I began reading her angel stories years ago and they always inspired and uplifted me. These stories are short enough to read one a night before bedtime, as a calming and inspiring practice.
I bought this book to give as a gift to a young friend who wanted to believe in spiritual beings, but just did not have enough "evidence."
As she read the stories, they made a profound impact on her and she began to feel angelic presence. What a gift! I think this book would make a marvelous gift for anyone who needs a lift over the troubles of our current world.

I enjoyed all of the stories, and believed them, until I found out that at least one, if not all of them were made up!! The subtitle of this book is "True Stories.."??!!

One of the stories was based in Colorado, so I googled it to learn more about it because my brother lives there, only to find out that the story in the book doesn't mesh with reality. It was made up. There is a huge lighted cross in Salida Colorado that was erected in a cemetary, on a hill. This can be seen by everyone driving on a main highway. The story in the book, however, paints an elaborate story about it being on this families property and needing the money to light it, etc etc.

I have written the author a letter of complaint stating that there should be a disclaimer on her books that the stories are fiction. So aggravating.

So many people are being duped by her and she's making money off of it. It would be one thing if she publishes the book as fiction, but she's pawning her books off as true stories.

This was a very nice book. The stories were heartwarming and sincere. I really enjoyed it.

These are fantastic stories, and I have enjoyed reading each one. I am happy that there are so many other books by JW Anderson. This is my 3rd book and they have all been top shelf!

this is a feel good book , easy to read and very interresting , i believe in angels, joan wester anderson is good at what she does , her stories are wonderful

Joan Wester Anderson books of True Stories of Answer Prayers are wonderful books. Not only can you read a few stories and 'try' to put the book down, you can give these great books to family and friends for gifts. I have collected all her books and with all the challenges in our lives, these true angels stories are so uplifting.

Ms. Anderson has a wonderful way of writing these true angels stories from folks all over the world and gives it to us as a great read.

I hope she continues to receive many more letters from folks to continue these books. Thank you Ms. Anderson!!

The stories in this book are inspiring and stirs one's belief in a benevolent God present with us at all time. One is reassured that we are indeed not alone in this walk of life.

This book contains stories and insights in the nature of what is in the Angelic world. It shares why we are drawn to the comforting presence of Angels, and how we can be guided by them. A must read for those interested in Angels.
