Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us: 101 Inspirational Stories of Miracles, Faith, and Answered Prayers

by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Amy Newmark

Overview

These 101 stories of angels, miracles, faith, and answered prayers will amaze, inspire, and comfort you. You only have to look — to find the angels among us.

Angels are among us, if we are open to seeing them and receiving their help. You’ll be amazed by these true personal stories, including:

• An injured boy, lost in the woods, who is saved from a wild boar attack by the family dog, and realizes later the dog died two years earlier.
• A man who is comforted at the funeral of his estranged son by an assistant pastor who turns out to be unknown to anyone at the church.
• A girl who is saved from a stalker when her neighbor, a Green Beret, pulls into the driveway next to hers, despite the fact that he is deployed overseas.
• A seemingly healthy pregnant woman, whose dead mother’s spirit warns her to rush to the hospital, thus saving her unborn baby’s life.
• A badly burned man, scheduled for surgery, who obeys an angel’s command to praise God, and is miraculously healed the next morning.
• A young woman driving alone at night in a strange city, who is guided straight to a police station after an attacker deliberately hits her car.
