My First Encounter with an Angel is the first book of the Revelations of Ancient Wisdom - AWAN Speaks series that will illuminate truths about how spirituality, mediumship, and prophecy have been hidden for centuries by Biblical translators and religious rulers. AWAN, the Angel Without A Name contacted the author, Sidney Schwartz, through the person of Carl Hewitt, a well-known trance medium. Who or what AWAN is does not ultimately matter when you read and examine the incredible information that this entity is attempting to teach. During their first encounter, AWAN revealed to the author information about deliberate changes and alterations made in the Bible throughout the centuries based on the need of Church Fathers to suppress the psychic/spiritual development of the masses. The author however, remained theologically adamant and argued with this angel. It was then that AWAN challenged the author to disprove his teachings. Using his skills as a librarian, the author researched extensively, studying over 160 versions of the Bible, only to discover that AWAN was teaching the truth! Upon reading this book, you will begin to see that the Bible is "saturated with metaphysical or mediumistic phenomena of every kind".
