Description

<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

Story Behind The Book

Of the first three of our forefathers, Isaac is the one about whom the Torah records the least information and commentary. Sages and scholars have had little more to say about Isaac. I was compelled to write this book on spirituality,with Isaac as my main example, because of the inspiration I received from Adonai on parashah Toledot.

Reviews

<span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;">This was an amazing book that provided excellent perspective on navigating through life with one's spirituality intact. In addition, it helped deepen my spiritual bent, thereby allowing me to be more cognizant of how duty - amidst the debate between &quot;right and wrong&quot; - should play out in one's mind.</span><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;">Kevin Weakley</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;line-height:18px;font-size:12px;">Author Laura Weakly provides a particularly deep analysis of the character Issac and provides unique observations and perspective that the average reader, and even the average scholar, will likely miss. By following Isaac's spiritual journey, the reader will suddenly realize that God has provided a path for everyone's own unique spiritual growth. Experience the joys, pains, and thought process that must have gone through Isaac's mind as you read this impressive book.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;line-height:18px;font-size:12px;">Todd Daniel</span></span></div>
