True Cases of Close Encounters of the Celestial Kind
September 1, 1993
With the surge of public interest in angels over the last couple of years comes this thoughtful presentation by a former theology instructor at the University of Notre Dame. Freeman details both her own angelic encounters and those of other people. Though she is quick to point out that discernment is necessary in interpreting the meaning of possible angelic encounters, she seeks to explain the nature of angels by drawing on both theological sources and her own intuitive perceptions. Her conclusions are speculative because angels (if they exist) do not have material form and thus cannot be subjected to scientific inquiry, but the stories presented provide fascinating glimpses of sometimes miraculous, seemingly divine intervention into people's lives. Written in a conversational style, this book should be popular in public libraries.-- Elizabeth Salt, Otterbein Coll. Lib., Westerville, Ohio
