Angels Walking: an special mission to bring hope and forgivness

Angels Walking by Karen Kingsbury is the first book in the Angels Walking series. In heaven, a meeting between angels is making a decision to send a team to earth. A desperate mission to help those on earth who need it. A mission to restore hope, to bring healing and redemption. A one time national baseball hero, Tyler Ames, has lost everything and everyone he loves on his path to achieve the big leagues. One day he hits rock bottom with no one to turn to as he has cut contact with his parents and the only woman he has ever loved, Sami Dawson, has moved on. A series of small miracles leads Tyler to a job as a maintenance man at a retirement home and a friendship an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s. Virginia Hutcheson, who mistakes Tyler for her son, seems to have the answers that Tyler desperately needs. Will the angels be successful? 

Hebrews 13:2 says we may be entertaining angels without ever knowing and Psalm 91:11-12 says that God commands his angels concerning us, to help guard us. One of my favorite paintings is the angel standing guard over a sleeping child. The imagery is powerful. Angels Walking is an imaging of how angels may help guard us, guide us to the path back to God. I love the imagery that what we might call a string of strange coincidences is actually angels at work. The complete stranger who says the words we need to hear at the right moment could have been an angel to answer a prayer or to remind us that God cares and loves us. I have read Ms. Kingsbury before and she ever fails to bring an emotional story and there are a few moments in Angels Walking that I teared up. I highly recommend Angels Walking. It is a story that reminds us that forgiveness is always possible and that we haven’t wandered too far away for God to bring us back. 

Angels Walking is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook.
