Angels We Have Heard on High: A Book of Seasonal Blessings - Paperback

In this beautiful book, New York Times bestselling author Joan Wester Anderson weaves a wreath of the blessings we receive when we least expect them--a joyful reminder that today, no less than two thousand years ago, Christmas is the season of miracles.

Prayers from people on a Christmas card lists bring a long-lost son home. The music of Christmas transforms an irritable Santa Claus line at a mall. A cross glows without electricity in a message of hope, and an angel warms a freezing child. All these and other wonderful stories reveal that when we have faith, we can find ourselves unexpectedly blessed, during Christmas and through every day of the year., Even nonreligious types will find inspiration in these real-life accounts of holiday blessing and miracles. Joan Wester Anderson tells of a neighborhood's outrage when a home is vandalized because of the menorah displayed in the window. Although it was the only Jewish household on the block, the next night all of the neighbors spontaneously placed menorahs in their windows in solidarity. In Angels We Have Heard on High we meet families who have no money for gifts and how this plight becomes a blessing. We hear of angel sightings and tender mercies that warm freezing children and guide lost hunters. When you need a helping of holiday cheer, Angels We Have Heard on High is even better than cookies and spiced eggnog.
