Product Description

Cokeville, Wyoming was the perfect slice of American Pie--a rural community surrounded by ranches and built by committed families with strong religious convictions; certainly not the typical terrorist target--precisely why David Young chose it as the place to seize his hostages.

Shortly after lunch, Young and his wife charged the Cokeville Elementary School toting a small arsenal of weapons and pushing a cart carrying a deadly bomb. One hundred fifty-siz children and teachers were herded into a single classroom and the terror began.

But something was different. This was home-grown terrorism with a different motivation. David Young's twisted and deranged intent was to blow up the school creating a mass murder-suicide that would plunge them all into a "Brave New World" where he would rule over the children.

"When Angels Intervene to Save the Children" is a basis for the CBS movie "To Save the Children". The real story of this incident unfolded during interviews with school therapists and parents. The children's accounts attributed their survival to angels dressed in white who instructed and protected them and told them to stay calm. Fact by fact, the authors described every hour of the terrifying ordeal and recount piece by piece the children's stories of the miraculous escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Uplifting Story With Many Witnesses, July 18, 2009

By	M. Ouzounian (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can not remember the first time I heard the name of this book, but when I finally tried to get it so as to be able to read it, I went to the library here in Orange County, CA. They had the book, but it was at the San Francisco Library and had to be special ordered. Then they would not let me take it out of the library. I had to read it there.

A year or so later, I was looking at books at Deseret Book store. As I was walking out of the door there was an, "On Sale," table with a variety of books and pamphlets. There was one copy of, "When Angels Intervene to Save the Children." I purchaased it immediately.

I used it as my selection in our book club July, 09. The other women loved it. I love it. It is a testimony of over 200 people as to the reality that there is a God, we have gaurdian angels who love us and in this case, by scientific proof (as much as you can scientifically prove powers beyond our ability to measure) established that ANGELES did intervene to save the children in this ture story.
