'Enchanting' The Daily Mail


Product Description

Whilst swimming, a man was caught in a rip current and dragged far out to sea. An athletic man strode into the water and swam calmly through the rough waves and, on reaching the troubled swimmer, reached out to him and gently pulled him back to shore. He then disappeared. Those on the beach watching the distressed swimmer never even saw the other man...For the past three years, Emma Heathcote-James has been researching a phenomenon that has not, as yet, been studied seriously. Hundreds of British people have claimed to have experienced visions of angels. These people are not crazy new-age loonies, but ordinary people from all walks of life, from professionals to prisoners to children. Emma Heathcote-James is a 24-year-old theology graduate who is researching for PhD into contemporary experiences of angels. Her findings are groundbreaking and unique, and include more than fifty fascinating case histories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and beautiful, 30 Mar 2007
By Lilly Penhaligon (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is an unusual book in that most books on angels and spirits are written by people who subscribe wholeheartedly to Spiritism or Spiritualism (whichever you prefer to call it) and declare their faith in an afterlife, a spirit world adn the presence of angels. This book is different because it was written by a sceptic as part of her PhD thesis on angel visions and experiences. What I liked about this was that the author never tries to get you to believe that everything in her book is real - she simply presents the stories and leaves it up to you to decide what the experiences were.
This book is the culmination of 4 years' work on ordinary people's experiences of angels. Members of the public were encouraged to send their stories to the author as part of her doctoral study. For the most part then, this book includes a wide selection of these angel stories.
Bearing in mind that this is based on a PhD thesis, the book starts in a fairly academic style with a thorough explanation of the research proposal and teh manner in which data was collected but it is far from boring and helps contextualise the stories that follow.
The stories themselves are broken down into various sections - for example: Angel Visions/Experiences at time of death (of loved ones); Angel Visions in the Blind; Angel Warnings etc etc and are told in the same words as were submitted (i.e. the author did not edit or change them to fit in with her work). I found some of the stories a bit eerie but at the same time, I found all of them exceptionally inspiring, beautiful and really comforting. It's a very nice book to settle down with at night after a hard day and know that whatever you go through in your life, whether it be good or bad or just plain trying, you are not alone and that someone is definitely looking after you. It's also a book that will make you think abuot your own life and perhaps get you thinking about the experiences that you have had, that you know really did happen, adn yet you can't explain...
For those people that don't like or are afraid of anything to do with mainstream religion, this book does not do that - it is totally impartial to any faith and simply presents the stories as they were submitted. It is entirely left to the reader to interpret them as they will.
Another bonus point is that the study was done in England and the stories are exclusively from British sources which I find refreshing - i have read so many books written by Americans on their experiences, I wanted something I could really relate to.
A fascinating read and one that you will come back to time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great thought provoking read..., 28 Oct 2002
By C. Goor (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is fascinating! It hundreds of real-life stories about how people have been effected by Angels. So do they exist? Have we all got a guardian angel? After reading this, it seems possible.

This isn't a religious, self-help book, it's just a great read. So, If you want a book which will make think, get this one!
