Angels, of Course, is an inspirational book that recounts Win Tuck-Gleason’s encounters with angels. This book will make readers believers in celestial creatures. The book tells the story of Tuck-Gleason’s visions of angels throughout her life starting at the age of three, while living in Canada and Florida. Tuck-Gleason recounts how the angels helped her throughout her life in joyous moments. She also writes about how angels visited her to give her premonitions of family tragedies. She also writes about other family members saw angels that were guardian angels that guided her life as well. Tuck-Gleason also writes about the angels she saw in her life were also felt by some of her other church members.
The text is very spiritual and quotes Bible verses throughout, for example from the book of Isaiah: “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” She writes very movingly about her faith in God and how that helped her in her life as well. In addition to writing about her spiritual visions, Tuck-Gleason also writes poems that celebrate her encounters with angels:” Days of color/Nights of warmth/Golden dawns of promise/Tie me with an invisible thread/To my place in the sun”.
Tuck-Gleason’s writing is relatable and inspirational. When she writes about seeing angels during her joyous and trying times, the reader will definitely relate to her heavenly visions. She writes eloquently about the angels she viewed were just as varied as the experiences in her life, coming in different sizes. The subtitle of Angels, of Course is A Collection of Illustrated Visits, and the book has beautiful illustrations. The illustrations vividly bring to life the angels Tuck-Gleason saw, with their majestic wings and long flowing white robes. Readers can easily visualize.
Angels, of Course would be best for readers who want to learn more about religion and angels. The book would also be ideal for people who read spiritual books about angels by authors like Marianne Williamson. Even people who don’t believe in angels will be moved by Tuck-Gleason’s inspiring stories about how celestial beings influenced her life. The book could be dispersed among church groups or can be given to people who had spiritual experiences.
Angels, of Course is an optimistic and lovely book about how angel from heaven can help people on Earth. Tuck-Gleason has written a book about faith and hope that readers will love.
