I was asked to read the new novel, Angel Song, by Sheila Walsh and Kathryn Cushman. Again, my payment was the free book.. which works great! Enjoy!
Sheila Walsh is a featured speaker with Women of Faith and author. Walsh, along with Kathryn Cushman writes her first, fiction novel, Angel Song.
“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Angels are an interest among believers in Christ and non-believers. We learn about important angels in the Bible, like Gabriel. We also know that God commands his angels to guard us, protect us and help us. (Psalm 91:11-12)
Walsh’s descriptive writing draws the reader in through a tragic accident. We follow the main character, Ann Fletcher, as she comes face to face with her past through the tragic end of her sister’s life. As the story unfolds, God slowly works on Ann’s heart through relationships and angels around her. After her sister hums a mysterious melody before dying, the angelic song plays in Ann’s head throughout the book. The only other person who knows the song and sees angels surrounding Ann, is a pre-teen neighbor with Down syndrome.
Ann gradually realizes the past does not have to rule her future. God’s love, and the love from new friends, penetrates through the walls of Ann’s hardened heart. She recognizes that, “Even something that appears broken, in the hands of a master artist, can be made into something more beautiful than the original.”
I would highly recommend this book. It would be a great gift to a non-believing friend. It gives hope that God is working on the hearts of those who do not believe in him. There is also a romantic relationship that develops throughout the story for those that enjoy that aspect. The novel heightens our awareness of the angels that we may come in contact with daily and those that constantly surround us. Angel Song is a well- written, inspiring story.
