Description:
How can you get what you want from life? "Keep it simple," explains Gary Quinn, spiritual consultant to the stars, including director and actor Roberto Benigni (Life Is Beautiful), singer-songwriter Seal, and Olympic gold-medalist Katarina Witt. All you have to do is ask with a clear heart and an open spirit for what you want. You know what the first result will be? A resounding cheer from the whole angelic realm: "Hooray! You've figured out the secret!" Imagine all these angels eagerly poised for flight, awaiting only the barest invitation from you to soar into your life. This cheerful book on divine benevolence exudes childlike naiveté. For instance, Quinn likens "angelic help" to a ride in Disneyland because angels are so happy, "delightful, ingenious and exciting." He acknowledges that belief in angels is a leap of faith, yet his warmth, confidence, and complete belief in angels is contagious. Within a few chapters, readers may find themselves enchanted by this joyful interpretation of heaven on earth. Contrary to popular assumptions, Quinn asserts that angels are not departed human souls (who tend to be far more less objective than angels). They are simply celestial entities with only one raison d'être: to bring joy to humans. He also believes that there are seven forms of angels: the Angels of Vision, Wisdom, Purity, Strength, Love, Peace, and Victory. Much of the book is devoted to explaining each of them. (The Angel of Vision, we learn, often gives us the visions that help us clarify and obtain our desires.) The final chapters are devoted to prayers and meditations to call forth angels as well as a section in which Quinn answers common questions, such as "What are guardian angels?" and "Why do angels come to us?" --Gail Hudson
