Review:

"Angelic Encounters:True Stories of Angelic Protection, Assistance, and Comfort" by C. A. Starfire was a really wonderful amazing and beautiful read. You will find yourself truly touched by each of these angelic encounters from this read and you will see how people have been 'helped, protected and even conformed by these wonderful angels.' Many of these angles helped 'by their actions, advises and providing relief over deathbeds of the dying.' You will find many of these stories are true and very uplifting that really helps many those in need. To read "Angelic Encounters" you will get a large collection of a lot of people that have had their encounters with angels directly or/and indirectly and in the end giving us a wonderful read. Would I recommend this read? Yes, It will only be a inspiring read for you. ( )

An interesting work in which the stories of people who believe they have seen angels are told. The book contains stories relating different encounters and ways in which angels have helped people, directly or indirectly, in a corporeal manifestation or just as a voice or sensation.
I personally don't believe in angels and find it especially interesting to see how people are sometimes willing to interpret anything as an angelic encounter. Sometimes they meet a person who somehow helps them, and then they assume that just because this had a positive outcome this person was an angel, whereas in my opinion it could very well just have been an ordinary person who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
That being said, there are also stories that are unexplainable and leave you guessing at what could explain an occurrence.

One thing that I find odd about the angelic encounters is that often only some people are saved, and not everybody. It seems strange to me that, if there are angels, they would act so randomly, saving for instance one child, but not his or her brother or sister. Usually some void explanation is given ('it was his/her time', 'he/she fulfilled a purpose'), but there is no real reason as to why some people are saved and others not. I know it is said that we cannot know why god takes away some people, but it leaves me somewhat dissatisfied with the concept of angelic intervention. ( )

The short, choppy sentences distracted me from really enjoying the book. People in the stories were only identified by initials, making it seem more like fiction than true story. That said, the stories were interesting and inspiring and I would like to read another book by this author. ( )

This book is a great collection of Faith-Inspiring Real And Original Events collected by author through her Facebook. These are events which show us how Angels were sent to protect People. Some Angels Helped By Their Actions, Some By Their Advises, Some Providing Relief by Dancing over deathbeds of Dying People. So, Concludingly i Would say that the collection is just enough to regain ur Lost Faith In God and Angels. ( )

I received this book free from Library Thing to read and review. Many books I read are a lot alike. This one is different. It contains the stories of several people who were “touched by angels”. I have always heard that there are lots of people who acknowledge being helped by angels, but had never read so many stories. This book provides a good collection of a wide variety of people and their angelic encounters. I think the author set out to provide us this and succeeded well. However, as I read the stories I could not help wondering whether they were as told or perhaps embellished a bit for the reader (by the person telling the story, not the author). I concluded that accepting them became a matter of having faith in the presence and helping nature of angels. As I said, the author, and the persons involved through her, have chosen to share these stories with the reader, providing good examples of just what angels do for humankind. I was touched by many of the stories and could easily see them happening to me or the raconteurs, who are just ordinary people going about their lives as I or anyone would. I am not all that familiar with the area of angelology, but I am sure this book will fall somewhere at the top of the list in that study area. I think all people, who wonder about angels or their very existence and how they work with and for us, should read the stories in this short book, for, once they do, I cannot believe they will ever again wonder about or doubt angels.
