When angel encounters happened in my own family, with healing messages for me, and with my Sons angel appearing to him at the age of six, I began sharing our story with others. As they listened, many then began sharing their own miraculous stories with me. These are true stories about life changing, divine interventions and angelic encounters. When angels appeared, many came with beautiful, and inspirational messages, full of loving guidance. Some stories are about individuals who were saved by their guardian angel. In some instances, their divine intervention helped to change the course they were on in their lives through the messages given to them by their angel. Many went on to complete their lifes destiny because of their blessed experience. God has blessed us by providing each and every one of us guardian angels to guide and protect us throughout our lifetimes, until the day an angel leads our soul back to Heaven with God. As you read about these heavenly interventions, you will be inspired by each one of these beautiful and amazing stories.

“Do your pet and yourself a favor: Buy this book, and when you’re done reading it, keep it in the medicine cabinet for the next time you need salve for your soul.” — Marty Becker, D.V.M., veterinary contributor for Good Morning America, chief veterinary correspondent for Amazon, and author of The Healing Power of Pets It was 1994, and Mike Lingenfelter was ready for his life to be over. Two serious heart attacks and open-heart surgery had taken away most of the good things that he had in his life. However, his doctors still held out hope for him, and they were trying to find ways to motivate him to get out of the house and exercise. Their vision was that an energetic dog on a leash might do that for Mike. And so it was that this golden retriever named Dakota, who had been rescued from death himself, came to help Mike with his rehabilitative therapy. Eventually, Dakota became Mike’s protector and his best friend, saving Mike’s life several times after somehow learning how to alert Mike of oncoming heart crises. Dakota gave Mike back his dignity, his pride, and his life. Early on, it became evident to Mike that this wonderful 98-pound, red-haired, four-legged angel had a special gift: Dakota was a spirit guide, and it was Mike’s duty to share him and the power of the human-animal bond. Ultimately, as part of that journey, one more miracle was needed, as Dakota fought a courageous and dignified battle for his own life.

What are guardian angels like? Are they with us all the time? How do they help us live our lives? Marti Diessner believed in guardian angels but thought they only appeared in times of crisis, standing beside the beds of the terminally ill or rescuing someone from a burning building. She didn't know that upon birth, every person is assigned a personal guardian angel, who never leaves his or her side. Nor did she know that guardian angels don't always guide and protect people through intervention; sometimes they have to stand by and watch. When Marti met Oleand, her very own guardian angel, all her ideas about angels flew out the window. In Oleand the Guardian Angel, she's transcribed his story, dispelling myths about angels and allowing readers to become more in touch with their personal guardian angels. Through this angelic tale, you'll learn to hear the advice of guardian angels and accept their assistance. Live life to the fullest knowing your guardian angel is by your side!

DO YOU know who is your best and most faithful friend? It is one whom God Himself has placed at your side as a life companion—a Prince from His own Heavenly Court—your Guardian Angel. God in His goodness has appointed him to guide and protect you through life and to lead you safely to your Eternal Home. From the very beginning of your existence, your Guardian Angel has been concerned about you. He rejoiced when you were born into the world, just as a good mother rejoices over the birth of her child. From the day of your Baptism, you became ever dearer to your Guardian Angel, ever more loved by him. Day and night he watched at your cradle. He led you as you took your first steps. He cared for you with most tender love when danger threatened. He grieved when you committed sin, as if he himself had received the greatest injury, and he left you no peace until you became reconciled with God by a good Confession. He has watched and prayed with you in hours of distress. He has rejoiced with you in days of prosperity. On the day of your First Holy Communion he was the bridal attendant of your soul. As often as you have received the Bread of Angels in the state of grace, he has rejoiced to accompany you to the Holy Table. He it was who prayed for you specially when the hand of the bishop anointed you as a soldier of Christ in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Your Guardian Angel is your best counselor. Particularly will he assist young boys and girls in their choice of a vocation. He will shield you amid the dangers of the world. If you call upon him, he will help you to find the life companion whom God has destined for you. He will ever remain at your side, so that you may faithfully and conscientiously fulfill the duties of your state in life. If God has called you to the religious life or to the holy priesthood, your Guardian Angel will protect you from the temptations of the world and help you to preserve your virginal purity, to offer it to God at the altar by your holy vows or to offer the sacred Body of Christ with unstained hands and holy lips as a priest of the Most High. In short, your Guardian Angel is your companion in all the circumstances of life—your friend in good as well as evil days. He will one day assist you in a very special manner—when you enter into life’s last conflict. Then he will fight with you and for you, until you have won the battle and your heart is at rest. But not even then will he leave you—there where every other, even the best of friends, must leave—on the threshold of eternity. When the light of earth fades away and the brightness of eternity bursts upon you, your Guardian Angel will present your soul before the tribunal of God and faithfully plead your cause. What is more, if you require purification in the flames of Purgatory your holy Angel will visit and console you. He will bring before God’s throne the good works that are performed for you on earth, and he himself will intercede for you. Finally, when your time of purgation is ended, he will joyfully bring you word of your release from the flames of Purgatory and will lead you to the blissful kingdom of Heaven. But to benefit by the presence of this heavenly companion, you must be docile to his inspirations and never turn away from this holy Angel who is your guide and your protector.
