Pastor Paul is a young seminary graduate called as interim pastor to a small rural church. He is full of zeal, but mostly for self-promotion. He sincerely loves the Lord but his past emotional wounds leave him vulnerable and in need of attention and affirmation. He constantly frustrates his angel, Saldu, who tries to steer him toward a more humble attitude.
Sarah Edwards is a new church … church member, a recent widow who gets saved at age 71. Unknown to her, Sarah has two angels to help disciple her and she is maturing rapidly in the faith. She is confused by her prophetic gifting, which leads her to offend some church members. She also prayer walks in front of Pastor Paul’s house. When his wife sees her pacing back and forth “talking to no one,” Paul quickly writes her off as a “wacko.”
Through the lives of Paul and Sarah you will see that the really wonderful news is that living a life pleasing to God has nothing to do with gritting your teeth and trying harder (again and again and again). God rewards you for simple, loving, serving actions throughout your days, stepping outside your own concerns to truly see others in His name.

Thoroughly enjoyed… gave me a lot to think about … reasons for self-evaluation…I highly recommend!
I was inspired by the characters. At the time I read this book, my prayer life was on a downward slide, sorry to say. I was so impressed by the storyline that I bought the book so I could share it with friends. That was definitely a first!
When two of the characters entered heaven, I was so pleased with how the author handled it. Since no one …
Not sure I agree with everything in this book but it was thought provoking.
It showed me the power of prayer but it was not what I was expecting.
I like this book very much. I especially like the different ways to pray and intercede for the needs of others from my neighborhood to around the world. The ending was more a product of the author’s imagination which I found was not congruent wth the message of mercy and second opportunities that were narrated in previous chapters. Overall was …
Loved it
Absolutely awesome & inspirational. Really made me reassess how I pray for myself & others. It reminded me how important it is to be aware of the influence the evil of this world can have on us when we take our eyes off Jesus!
The ending was not how I envisioned it, but then God is never surprised. I learned so much from this book that I probably will read it again. Its important to realize that we have angels in our lives.
Great characters. Scriptural based
Great read, true to life.
It gives you beautiful in site to your relationship with God.
Really made me think about the power of prayer.
Great love story of Sarah’s love of Jesus. Really inspirational. I pray Gods blessings on the author and all who read this book. Amen!!!
Loved this book!! Reminded me of Frank Peretti Books and to stay aware of the unseen.
The book gives angel a personality and makes them more real and relevant.
There’s so much I liked about this book. I thought it was a really good portrayal of how Christians should be living. I disagree strongly with the parts that describe speaking in tongues and Insist Christians must strive to reach this goal. Otherwise I felt the book gives a good perspective on how the Christian prayer life should function. This …
It covers a problem that is out there among even those who know better, but cannot realize what they are doing to hurt Christianity.
It was a wonderful book. I thought it was right up there with the Screwtape letters.
This is such a cute story and totally unexpected — humor and mystery.
Must read book
