Synopsis

With the popularity of shows like Crossing Over with John Edwards, the idea of communicating with the dead is no longer just the terrain of spiritualists and con-artists. As more and more average Americans believe that there are multiple levels to life, as well as multiple lives to live, a fascination has arisen with the stories of those who are gifted with the ability to communicate with those who have passed. Any reader interested in this topic will be pleased to find ANGELS ARE PEOPLE TOO AND OTHER LIFE LESSONS.Davis' book is engrossing reading because of both the spiritual messages she shares and the encounters with the 'Other Side' she describes. She speaks with the authority of one who truly believes her own message. For the skeptic, there is no proof here that cannot be refuted in any of a hundred ways. One example of this is her discussion of hearing a friend whom she had religious differences with in life returning to tell her she was right. To a skeptic, this would merely be self-delusion. On the other hand, if Davis can, as she asserts, hear the dead when they are speaking, there could always be the possibility that her friend did, indeed, return to affirm her beliefs as correct.Davis' book is fascinating on another level as well. Her evangelism is of the type that is most palatable to the average reader. She comes off as warm, occasionally humorous, and caring, without being hurtful or condescending. Her prose is straightforward and honest, lending her work as a whole a sense of sincerity as illustrated in this quote:'Every day I marvel that I have 'The Guys' as my unseen friends. They have shown inexhaustible patience and have been an important part of my life for a very long time. I believe the Angels' sole purpose is to try to assist us. Since they want the very best for us, they will give as much help as we are willing to accept. As God's messengers, Angels are the bridge between the two worlds, and I believe they are in attendance around us even mor

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

I was a teenaged bride, married the day after my husband's graduation from medical school. We had three children by the time I was twenty-three. Despite the six years of surgical residency and very little income, there was one thing I knew I could always count on - my children and I would always be well taken care of.I had a mental picture of myself as June Cleaver, television's perfect person and homemaker on her way to the grocery store in hat and white gloves. I had no misgivings about the future, knowing as I did that my family would always be safe and secure. God had other plans.I had always been most comfortable staying in the background, avoiding the spotlight, and letting others do the ground-breaking. That also was about to change. In my social circle of doctors and their wives, divorce just 'wasn't done.' I didn't even know anyone who had been separated. Yet, that is where I found myself after twenty years of marriage. My friends disappeared, and I seemed to be alone in a whole different world. I learned later that some of my friends' husbands were so threatened by the divorce that that they instructed their wives to have nothing to do with me. My ex-husband cut back on his medical practice, which resulted in very little alimony and almost no child support. I lost the life-style and all the material luxuries I had grown accustomed to; and, in the role of designated breadwinner, I was also faced with the beginning of four years of college expenses for my youngest son.I had not been in the workplace during all the years I was married, but I found a job as secretary/receptionist with a large company. That remained my job title for five years despite the fact that I was also unofficially acting as a salesperson. My efforts to be named as a 'legitimate' salesperson were considered unladylike and inappropriate. Eventually, I was accepted as the first woman saleswoman in the company, although 'tolerated' would be a better description than 'accepted'. I worked ver
