Synopsis Wings But No Angel by : C.K Smith
Wings But No Angel details Ken Smith's remarkable journey from choirboy on HMS Victory to the Royal Marines and then the Special Air Service/ Special Boat Service. Ken saw action on the North Atlantic, Arctic and Mediterranean convoys before volunteering for the SAS and being involved in some of its most celebrated battles of WW2. During the Villa Punta raid in Yugoslavia, he was wounded and carried a bullet in his shoulder for the rest of his life. Five weeks later, he was part of a specially selected 18-man force in Operation Fry, during which the regiment's sole Victoria Cross was posthumously awarded to his officer, Anders Lassen. Wings But No Angel is not just a story about the SAS. It is about Ken's formative years that enabled him to become part of a legendary fighting force and the lasting impact WW2 had on him. It charts his tough transition from a special forces soldier to civilian life. Written by one of his ten children this book is informative, entertaining and at times darkly humorous as it highlights the personal story behind the action.

Synopsis On Angels' Wings: My Flight from Trauma to Grace by : Gloria Masters
This extraordinary powerful story of Gloria's journey from darkness into light is one of hope, resilience and the unrelenting power of the human spirit to survive .It's June 1960 and in middle class suburban NZ, a child was born into sex slavery. For the first sixteen years of her life Gloria suffered horrendous sexual, physical, and psychological abuse at the hands of her father, with no one to protect her. From the underworld of her father's paedophile ring to the groups he trafficked her to, she found an inner strength and a light that shone so brightly, her mind was the one thing that could not be destroyed. Experienced through the eyes of a child, on Angels' Wings will forever highlight the way we deal with child abuse, shining a light on this darkness, and challenging us not to assume that every child is safe. One voice speaking out is all it takes to save a life.

Synopsis I'm No Angel by : Kylie Bisutti
In December 2011, 21-year-old Victoria’s Secret Runway Angel Kylie Bisutti stunned the fashion industry when she chose faith over fame and fortune and made the switch from supermodel to role model. In I’m No Angel, Kylie shares her story—from her early years as she struggled to make it big in the cutthroat world of modeling, to her “big break” winning the Victoria’s Secret Runway Angel competition, to the disillusionment and spiritual warfare that followed. After finally realizing that she could no longer reconcile her career with her Christian beliefs, she surrendered her life to God and dedicated her life to preaching a message of modesty and inner beauty. Along the way, Kylie talks about her personal struggles with inadequacy, low self-esteem, and her near-constant quest for approval in a world where you can never be thin enough, pretty enough, or sexy enough. She helps readers understand that true beauty lies within and that real fulfillment comes from knowing, loving, and serving Christ.

Synopsis No Angel by : Helen Keeble
Mix the wry humor of Vladimir Tod, the relatability and fun of Ally Carter, and a sinfully hilarious setup, and you have No Angel—an unforgettable spin on angels and demons from the author of Fang Girl. Rafael Angelos just got handed the greatest gift any teenage boy could ever dream of. Upon arriving at his new boarding school for his senior year, he discovered that he is the only male student there. But Raffi's about to learn that St. Mary's is actually a hub for demons—and that he was summoned to the school by someone expecting him to save the day. Raffi knows he's no angel—but it's pretty hard to deny that there's some higher plan at work when he wakes up one morning to discover he's sprouted wings and a glowing circle around his head. . . .

Synopsis Angels and Angelology in the Middle Ages by : David Keck
Recently angels have made a remarkable comeback in the popular imagination; their real heyday, however, was the Middle Ages. From the great shrines dedicated to Michael the Archangel at Mont-St-Michel and Monte Garano to the elaborate metaphysical speculations of the great thirteenth-century scholastics, angels dominated the physical, temporal, and intellectual landscape of the medieval West. This book offers a full-scale study of angels and angelology in the Middle Ages. Seeking to discover how and why angels became so important in medieval society, David Keck considers a wide range of fascinating questions such as: Why do angels appear on baptismal fonts? How and why did angels become normative for certain members of the church? How did they become a required course of study? Did popular beliefs about angels diverge from the angelologies of the theologians? Why did some heretics claim to derive their authority from heavenly spirits? Keck spreads his net wide in the attempt to catch traces of angels and angelic beliefs in as many portions of the medieval world as possible. Metaphysics and mystery plays, prayers and pilgrimages, Cathars and cathedrals-all these and many more disparate sources taken together reveal a society deeply engaged with angels on all its levels and in some unlikely ways.
