In this collection of true accounts involving ordinary people, Joan Wester Anderson has gathered dozens of stories which tell of tender coincidences, inspirational healings, and safe passage through the very heart of trouble and danger.
Children are known to have wild imaginzations, which explains why their stuffed animals talk and invisible friends get invited to tea parties. So it's no wonder than when a child reports a personal encounter with an angel, adults tend to dismiss it with a wry smile and say, "That's nice, sweetie. Why don't you go outside and play?" But Joan Wester Anderson says "not so fast." If Jesus himself taught that the kingdom of heaven belongs to children, there's no reason in the world not to believe that God can reveal his love to little ones through angels. In An Angel to Watch Over Me (originally published by Random House in 1994, with sales of 150,000 copies), Anderson shares more than 30 stories of children's experiences with celestial beings--from a boy whose angels helps him conquer his fear of thunderstorms to a girl who is miraculously rescued from her burning home. From angels who combat evil and darkness to angels who bring news of comfort and joy, each of these accounts is grounded in traditional Christian belief, eschewing any New Age interpretation of the events. For all who are open to the possibility that even children can have authentic spiritual lives--and that attaining a certain age is not a prerequisite for God to touch our lives in the form of heavenly helpers--this book is sure to stir the soul and fan the faith.
Victims of abuse face many difficult issues. Many, longing to be free, will search and long for healing and peace. Healing from the emotional and mental pain of abuse involves a journey. To emerge from victim to survivor and on to prevailing, a greater spiritual issue must be addressed--a personal relationship with a sovereign, loving God. Survivors, like many Christians, must come to a defining moment where they face the decision to live out authentic Christianity in the midst of a fallen, broken world. Prevail: The Healing Journey Continues, rather than a study course, involves a continuing guide leading victims of abuse to the end of self-sufficiency into a deeper, more meaningful walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. Participants will have the experience of diving deep into God's Word as each lesson addresses some of the most difficult issues of abuse. I believe each group and each session will be a divine appointment filled with the excitement of seeing God at work in His children. As you work through Prevail: The Healing Journey Continues, whether in a group or for personal study, I pray you will be blessed as you seize and hold firmly onto God's truth. For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. --Romans 15:4, 13
