I think almost everyone believes they have a presence that watches over them, someone they turn to for help when they’re at their lowest, someone they can plead with to help them through their time of trouble.  And many spiritual people would call these helpers their guardian angel. 

But what if you could sit down and have a conversation with these entities, not just beg them for help?  Almost everyone would say that was impossible, a trick your mind plays on you; but not Thomas Carpenter.  Not only does he believe in the unseen presence of his guardian angels, he sits down to have a talk with them in an attempt to help other people do the same. This book is the result of Thomas’ conversations with his angels, collectively named Action, as he attempts to understand the actions of God. 

I have been a firm believer in guardian angels for at least the last fifteen years, dating back to the time my car broke down on the highway.  Sitting there with my flashers blinking, a distress sign in my back window, I watched the Friday night rush hour traffic whiz past me.  I was not physically able to make the trek that was necessary to get me to a telephone to call for help and this was before cell phones.  After an hour, I briefly closed my eyes and said out loud, “Well, what are you going to do about this?  I need to get home.”  Less than five minutes later, one of my co-workers went past me on the opposite side of the highway and somehow saw me through eight lanes of traffic.  He got off at the next exit and pulled up behind me ten minutes later.  I’ll never forget that moment and, indeed, I’ve asked for help many times.  I always got that help, maybe not always in the way I imagined, but help nonetheless. 

This book gives you the option of turning directly to the section that will help you prepare for conversation with your angels or you can read the author’s dialogue as they cover subjects such as war, hate and bigotry, the diverse functions of the human mind and many others. 

Even if you don’t come away from reading “Angel Talks” a full-fledged believer, you’ll certainly come away with a much more open mind and, most likely, an eagerness to try and have a conversation with your own angels.
