Summary: This Book Changed My Life
Review: For anyone who is in despair, here is a good reason to get back to life with faith. For anyone thinking he has heard and seen anything that life is about try this and tell me if it does not surprise you. There is more to life that what we think so let's get in that "class" that Monsieur Pierre is teahing from his experience and learn the mysteries of this life and next life's. This book is not only filled up with personal testimonies but also with historical and undeniable facts ( Padre Pio, Marguerite Marie, Edith Stein and others...). It is not a matter of blind faith. If ever, anybody needs a book to demonstrate invisible realities, THIS IS THE ONE. I offered it in French and English to many friends and they all loved. As a matter of fact they all return with more energy to their respective faiths... Try it, it will shake you to the core. Merci encore Pierre Jeannoel

Summary: Definitely a keeper.
Review: This book is more than I ever expected; the honest, investigative research style of Pierre will turn any "skeptic" into a believer in the existence of angels. His bibliography and "permissions list" were also worth the price of the book; they opened up a new world for me. I sincerely hope he will write another book. Thanks to Amazon for making these 5 star books available used.

Summary: A wonderful book, a classic.
Review: This book is written with humor, eloquence, journalistic perspective/restraint, and passion. After an inexplicable escape from what might have been a fatal shooting on the L.A. freeway, Mr. Jovanovic began on a journey to investigate whether angels do in fact exist. He approaches it with the experience and restraint of a professional journalist, which he is. He looks at Near Death Experiences (the famous tunnel with light at the end etc.), interviews the woman who made famous the 'stages of dying', and Georgette Faniel, a stigmatist who some believe is a living saint; the book explores such diverse topics as Medjugorje, Padre Pio, apparitions of angels and The Virgin Mary; and yet never gets syrupy or precious. In fact, it manages to be all the more powerful reading due to its step back from the topics. Friends gave me a copy of this book and I was amazed by it; it's very quiet in tone, yet not without humor, and explains itself very well. The reader goes on the journey to discover whether angels exist, right along with the author, yet at the end you don't feel pushed toward any conclusion but your own. I highly recommend this book to everyone, not just those who already believe in such things as these. (Oh ! PS, if you net-search on this book title you will find its author's own website, which has more about the book, including a the first chapter available to read online for free).

Summary: A decent book, but it strays widely from its title
Review: This book seem to focus far more on two other topics, NDEs (near death experiences) and saints, than it does on its title subject of angels. The whole angel theme seems in fact to be kind of an incidental inclusion, like a thread of only secondary importance. The tenuous angel theme thread ties the other two themes together, themes which form the actual substance of the book.
I would recommend this book to those interested in NDEs; I would also recommend this book to those who are interested in the mortification, stigmatic, and pain aspects of Catholicism, which are dwelled on quite extensively in this book. I'd also recommend this book to anyone interested in saints. But to someone purely interested in angels, I regret I have to advise you to look elsewhere for real substance on that subject.
