Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Although Anderson's (Where Angels Walk, Ballantine, 1992) readers and the widespread readership of angel books in general will provide an audience for this book about the miraculous intervention of angels in human affairs, this is a less substantive treatment of the subject than Sophy Burnham's Book of Angels (Ballantine, 1990). Anderson's anecdotal accounts also lack the credibility of Burnham's Angel Letters (Ballantine, 1991) because the narrative and dialog provide a sense of embellished drama rather than a forum for those involved to share their own sense of these sacred events. A marginal purchase.

Product Description
Is there anyone who does not long for signs of God's loving presence, some token of guidance and protection? In Where Wonders Prevail, New York Times bestselling author Joan Wester Anderson gathers dozens of true stories that tell of tender coincidences, inspirational healings, and safe passages through the very heart of trouble and danger.

There's the missionary priest in the Nicaraguan jungle whose life is saved by a prayer from friends in Michigan. Teenaged best friends Patty and Joni harbor a closeness even death can not erase. And a lonely Seattle man finds his life transformed by a mysterious little messenger. In Anderson's moving narrative, we find many such glimpses of heaven--reminding us that God is always near, every step of our way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, inspring book!, May 27, 2000

By	Judith E. Pavluvcik (Dreaming of the beach in California, but living in the reality of the desert in Arizona!!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the third book of Ms. Anderson's that I have read and am once again amazed and inspired. Her stories are stories of beauty, faith and love and each and every one cannot help but fill one with faith and hope.

"For nothing is impossible with God." We are reminded once again, the love that God has for us and we need only ask and we shall receive.

My favorite story was Triumph In The Sky, the story of a baby's journey to receive a liver transplant and the pilot who aided him on his journey.

Miracles do happen. As Joan says, "His light is eternal. His love prevails."

All the stories are beautiful and I recommend this book highly. You will be changed - you will be left thinking and you will be crying and smiling and at peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly inspirational!, July 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Wonders Prevail (Hardcover)

This book helped remind me that miracles do happen. I am a slow reader and do not read alot of books, but I really enjoyed this book because it consisted of easy to read short stories about true inspirational events in regular people's lives. Small miracles that happen when sometimes we first don't realize it. When you are having a bad day or a rough go of things, reading one of these stories helps to put life back into perspective. I think I would like to read Joan's other books as well
