Every faith has its stories of angels -- radiant apparitions or invisible guides, messengers that bring the wisdom of heaven into the hearts of men and women. Yet it is not only the great prophets and seers who have had these experiences. All over the world, people have stories to tell: of shining figures standing by hospital beds; of ordinary-looking strangers offering help in times of urgent need before vanishing, leaving no trace; of guardians giving support in the darkest hour.

Walking with Angels offers a glimpse into the mystery and glory of this world. It relates the theological facts as understood by the different religions, and gives breathtaking accounts of ordinary people touched unexpectedly by a divine hand.
