My Guardian Angel

About the Book

What is that voice in your mind that is trying to guide you to make the right choice?

Why have you survived events in your life that should have taken your life?

My Guardian Angel approaches its reader on many levels: On a personal level, it is a story of a series of real life events that turned a boy into a man. On a spiritual level, it is a testament of a person’s faith in God’s promise in Psalm 91, and how that person has made God real in his life. On an entertainment level, the stories are simply humanly emotional, in that some are funny, some are suspenseful, some are sad, and some are happy.

We all have stories about our life. We share them around the dinner table, on the front porch or back deck, in the fishing boat, around the camp fire, or maybe at work. Sometimes those moments bring about a story of confession that ends up answering a lifelong family mystery. Sometimes one of those stories might reveal something about you that nobody knows.
