IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS by Joan Wester Anderson is full of stories of hope and comfort, as well as goosebumps; everything from a survivor of 9/11 who met a mysterious stranger to a little girl whose angel caught her when she fell out of a window. Says Joan, "It was written because, although I have done many books on angels and miracles, after 9/11 I sensed a fear and apprehension within the country, as if all the beautiful and hopeful stories we had heard and exchanged about angelic protection during the '90's meant nothing. Perhaps God had even abandoned us. Yet my mailbox was filled with evidence of continued heavenly care. I wanted to share those happenings. And so, another angel book was born."

Joan Wester Anderson has been a freelance writer and public speaker for nearly thirty years. Her fifteen books include Where Angels Walk (Ballantine Books, 1993) and Where Wonders Prevail (Ballantine, 1997). She is a poplular guest on radio and television talk shows and resides in Prospect Heights, Illinois.

The Simple Touch of Fate: How the Hand of Fate Touched Our Lives Forever
by Arlene Uslander, Brenda Warneka

This is a fascinating collection of stories revealing compassion, mystery, humor and warmth, written by people from various walks of life as they tell about their personal brush with FATE. A computer engineer experiences the touch of the unknown as he learns that the plane he was scheduled to be on has crashed into the World Trade Center. A father and daughter, trying to escape from war-torn Egypt, lose something very precious, but find it in such an incredible way that they are sure Fate has favored them. A woman from India relates the strange way in which she is given a Genasha God statue that has been blessed by a revered Swami. The stories evoke the texture of life in an elegant yet gentle mosaic that confirms the unseen hand of fate touching all our lives. This book is about all different kinds of Fate. The common thread is that each story raises the question: "Was that just a coincidence--or was it meant to be?"
