Editorial Reviews

Review

A compelling read - one that will expose readers to new viewpoints about life issues that humankind has pondered since the dawn of time. -- Independent Press

A dynamic question-and-answer dialog. Highly recommended reading. -- Midwest Book Review

An angel named Ariel offers profound insight into our world, our selves, and our destiny in a dynamic question-and-answer dialog. The inner-voice communication of an interfaith minister provides the spiritual connection to the angelic realm Angel Ariel has chosen this point in human history to answer over 150 probing questions posed by a research psychologist. The angel's answers (optimistic, insightful and thought-provoking) will nourish and inspire the reader. Interview With An Angel is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in pursuing contemporary metaphysical studies. -- Midwest Book Review

Captivating, enthralling, humorous, optimistic, provocative, inspiring, nourishing.... a must read for anyone intrigued by metaphysical exploration. And once you've read it, you too, will have difficulty finding the words that say enough about this fine work! -- Metaphysical Reviews

Hardly ever do ... channeler and researcher interact in the same volume as they do in Interview with an Angel. Thayer and Nathanson provide much food for both sides of the brain. -- Rhea A. White, Editor, Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, Editor, Exceptional Human Experience

I was completely overwhelmed and awestruck by the messages in Interview with an Angel. Through my tears of joy and wonder, my heart rejoiced in the truth of Ariel's words. I felt each page was written only for me, each message directed solely to me. I thank you for reaching out and allowing these words to be spoken. -- Barbara Apostolou Torres, Holistic Practitioner

Intriguing and thought-provoking. -- Angel Times

The information Stevan Thayer brings through in this compelling book, Interview with an Angel, rings with a clarity of truth reserved for only the purest of revelations. Publisher and co-author Linda Sue Nathanson employs a powerful and unique interview style to focus on the critical questions-those we would all want to ask if only we were lucky enough to be in her place. Insightfully guiding ... inspiring work. -- Dr. Eric Scott Pearl, Contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Mystical Soul

The truth contained within these words penetrates beyond the limited parameters of the intellect, bringing me to tears more than once. -- Paula Sirois, Holistic Nutritional Consultant

This book is a timely, exciting look at angels in our lives. It can enrich the spiritually minded, and perhaps the not-so-spiritually minded, with insight into how angels positively affect and enrich our world. -- Rabbi Joseph H. Gelberman, Ph.D., President, The New Seminary, New York, NY --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

In January 1994 Dr. Linda Sue Nathanson, a research psychologist seeking a medical alternative, met Rev.Stevan Thayer, a holistic practitioner and developer of Integrated Energy Therapy(r) (IET). At times during their IET sessions, Stevan entered a self-induced, altered state of consciousness and spoke in a voice not his own, offering knowledge beyond his experience. In time, Linda came to believe she was in a dialog not with Stevan, but with another "personality," identifying itself as Ariel, to whom Stevan had "connected." Linda began asking questions of this other personality in much the same way she saw lawyers and psychiatrists probe multiple personalities in movies and television programs. Ariel said, "We plant the knowledge, the knowing, in his [Stevan's] mind...." Directing her questions, then, not to Stevan but to a nonphysical intelligence beyond Stevan's conscious awareness, Linda began by asking for permission and cooperation in compiling Ariel's words and wisdom into a book. Linda's first question I would like to ask you questions the way an explorer meeting an unknown life form would ask and then put your words in a book. How do you feel about that? Ariel: We find it humorous that you would ask us if we would be willing to do what it is that we chose you to do. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Answered My Question About The Problem Of Evil, October 9, 1999

By 

Harmonie ([e-mail]) (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interview with an Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

I believe in God, but I always wondered what He was doing when a child is beaten to death, or whether he took a coffee break when the Holocaust happened. Ariel's explanation of what we perceive as evil gave me peace, and a great sense of safety. I don't mean physical safety, because now I understand that it's not the point, but spiritual safety.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read for skeptics and believers alike., July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Interview with an Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

The beginning of this book discusses such famous people as St. Theresa, and St. Catherine, and how angels have always been apart of our lives. The main focus is on the part where Linda asks Steven questions and receives the information from a spirit guide named Ariel. Whether you believe in other spiritual realms other than Earth, (Ariel describes that we all have a spiritual will and an ego;) you will find the advice truly empowering and truthful, even if you are extremely skeptical. Ariel answers the question from the heart and truly cares for our awareness and understanding of the God force. Ariel even speaks to the skeptics by saying that she does not want to say that anyone's ideas are wrong or incorrect, but that she only speaks of what she knows as correct. Ariel even says that it is God's way to have some people skeptical and some believers. Whether you believe Ariel or not, this book is a good read. I wanted to find places in the text where I could point out that this book was faked by a human, but I honestly couldn't find any places that did not make sense to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn about the angels from an Angel!, August 10, 2000

By 

Jenny Cohen "Jenny Cohen" (La Jolla, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interview with an Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

I am an angel & spirit communicator, and the angels recommended that I read this book shortly after I began communicating with them. It contains powerful insights about our lives here on earth, and answers questions related to karma, death and immortality, love and relationships, and the course of human history. If you do not believe in angels, you may just change your mind after reading this book. A must-read for anyone on a spiritual path ( and even those who aren't!). Open your heart to the angels!
