A Book of Angels: Reflections on Angels Past and Present

This New York Times bestseller has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1990, inspiring a cultural phenomenon around angel encounters and spiritual experiences. Sophy Burnham's comprehensive exploration combines true stories of present-day angel encounters with scholarly research on angels throughout history and across different cultures.

These accounts provide compelling evidence of divine presence in everyday life, offering comfort and inspiration to readers seeking spiritual connection. Each story is carefully documented and presented with sensitivity to the profound nature of these experiences.

Angels Across Religions and Cultures

Burnham traces the study of angels across multiple religious traditions, including powerful male angels, Buddhist bodhisattvas, Islamic angels, Hindu Apsaras, and the mysterious angels of the Jewish Kabbalah. The book explores cherubim, seraphim, guardian angels, and the angel of death, providing a comprehensive understanding of how different cultures perceive and interact with celestial beings.

Critical Acclaim and Recognition

The Washington Post praised it as "a golden conjunction of heaven and earth...reminding us that there are angels in every religion." The Chicago Tribune noted, "As far as angels are concerned, now you see them, now you don't. A Book of Angels gives us a lovely, sustained glimpse." The book has appeared on multiple bestseller lists and Burnham has discussed it on Oprah, Larry King Live, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.
