Among Angels

A vision in a dream. A long-awaited healing. Protection from an accident waiting to happen. Angels Among Us is a collection of stories of everyday people -- little children, old women, young men, and more -- who had their lives stopped for a moment and redirected with a little help from above. Some came to help. Some to heal. Others stood as protectors and guardians. Some were prayed for and others showed up totally unbidden, but all were remembered by those whose lives were changed from a visit by their guardian angel. These inspiring stories will give you comfort and hope as you learn that you are seen, protected, and loved throughout each and every day.

In this book of 101 inspirational stories, contributors share their personal angel experiences of faith, miracles, and answered prayers, which will amaze and inspire you. Celestial, otherworldly, heavenly. Whatever the term, sometimes there is no earthly explanation for what we experience, and a higher power is clearly at work. You will be awed and inspired by these true personal stories from people, religious and non-religious, about hope, healing, and help from angels.

Through short stories and poetry in both fiction and nonfiction, Samuel Marder paints a vivid picture of his family's life and his childhood, forever shattered by the Holocaust. Their lives in pre-war Romania took a tragic turn when they were deported to a concentration camp in Transnistria for three-and-a-half years. After liberation, through difficult and dangerous journeys, they found refuge in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany. His gripping stories move from survival and perseverance in the face of brutality and tragedy to hope and renewal when they finally get to the United States.
