"The angels...regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us."

Not many hard-working farm families living in the shadow of the Lyon Brook Railroad Bridge think about angels in their midst. However, Betsy Emig, a child on a nearby homestead, is born with an unusual gift. She can see and talk with her guardian angel. Her young parents assume their precocious daughter has an imaginary friend until the three-year-old repeatedly tells them what she sees during undeniable angelic interventions. Butch and Mary Emig evolve as parents raising five children, one with unique abilities.

Do You Have A Guardian Angel?
The multigenerational adventures of the Emig
family in Sheltering Angels may just be the
answer to your prayers if you've ever wondered
about what it might be like to realize that you
have in fact been "entertaining angels unaware," as the Scriptures say.
"I know first hand that babies don't come with
instructions, but with an angel? Wouldn't that
be nice?" This is one of my favorite lines from this
story that creatively and memorably explores
what the Scriptures say about the reality that we
most certainly do have angels among us.
