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.

As a Christian, it was totally convicting for me. I cannot speak for anyone else.
This book came to me at a time of my life that made me think it was sent by God. I will read it again. Outstanding!
I did not care for this book—too preachy.
Loved this book. It makes you think about how to turn your worries and problems over to God all things are possible.
I loved this book. Very realistic of the Christian faith. I love the fact it gives an inside view of the things you don’t see, and maybe never even thought of. It is a novel, but so many of the subjects within this story are very relative.
Throughly enjoyed this book. The book had a good twist. Makes a person want to be a better Christian no matter how you are. Great book. Already have my friends ready it.
It illustrates the value of every choice made on earth
A very interesting story. It certainly provides many thought provoking ideas. Thank you for this perspective!!
It challenged me to think and pray in a new way
I loved this book. Spiritual warfare is very well pictured in the writing. It is very clearly written and makes the warfare totally real
This book really made me think!!!!!
I really wanted to like this book. After all, prayer is such an important part of the Christian life.
I started to wonder when the author misquoted one of my favorite missionary’s quotes and changed the meaning a bit. The book is like that, well intentioned, good subject matter but a bit off. I cannot recommend.
If you are interested in …
A different kind of Christian novel
While I may not agree doctrinally with all aspects of the book, it certainly causes you to stop and think about the power of prayer and humility.
Inspirational with good intent.
A very difficult situation and prejudices were handled very well. Nice to see a selfish woman mature into a lovely, loving wife and mother.
One of the best fiction books I’ve read
This book spoke to my heart and explained very well about what is really happening in the spiritual wars fought over us as we struggle to do the will of GOD and to those who choose not to follow GODS plans for their lives.Truly everyone who is struggling to do GODS WILL should read it.
A page turner,gut wrenching and a eye opener.
LOVED IT
Read …
This book is for new believers and old, I have read this book twice and have left with something to apply to my life each time.
This book goes back and forth between Sarah, a 71-yr-old widowed intercessory prayer warrior, and Paul, her young, proud and ambitious pastor. The unique characters are the heavenly and evil angels that attend them both. As I’m a 71-yr-old woman, I identified with Sarah and loved reading the encouraging things her two guardian angels were …
