Number one international bestselling author Lorna Byrne, an Irish mystic who gives hope and a sense of peace (The Times, UK), shares the encouraging messages she receives from angels to help carry us through life's challenges. Lorna Byrne sees and speaks to angels physically every day, communicating with them as clearly as the rest of us see people. In A Message of Hope from the Angels, Lorna comforts and consoles us with the knowledge that, no matter how alone you might feel, you always have a guardian angel by your side. As she writes, These days I see a lot of angels holding lights in front of people, helping to encourage them. I see so much to be hopeful about and in this book I pass on these messages of hope. Through this inspiring and uplifting book, Lorna reveals how we can call on the help of angels to carry us through the difficulties that we all inevitably face, including loneliness, depression, stress, financial strain, heartbreak, the death of a loved one, or feelings of inadequacy. No matter what obstacles you encounter, you can always call on the support of angels to make your life happier and more fulfilling.
