Proof of Angels: The Definitive Book on the Reality of Angels and the Surprising Role They Play in Each of Our Lives

By Ptolemy Tompkins and Tyler Beddoes

In March 2015, millions worldwide were captivated by news reports of the dramatic rescue of an 18-month old girl, Lily Groesbeck, who'd somehow survived fourteen hours in an overturned car, submerged in an icy-cold Utah river, after her mother apparently lost control of the vehicle. Police officers arrived at the scene and heard a woman's voice spurring them on: 'Please hurry, there isn't much time.' Yet, once the two victims were recovered, it was clear the voice could not have come from Lily's mother: she'd been killed on impact. How to explain this modern-day miracle? Ptolemy Tompkins, New York Times bestselling collaborator, with the help of responding officer, Tyler Beddoes will do just that. PROOF OF ANGELS will be the first mainstream trade book to effectively address a topic that has captivated individuals across cultures, age groups and religious beliefs for centuries. This deeply engaging, hard-hitting book is poised to do for angels what PROOF OF HEAVEN, the internationalbestseller by Eben Alexander on which Ptolemy Tompkins collaborated, did for Near Death Experiences.

Tyler Beddoes' compelling story launches a sweeping inquiry into the evidence supporting the existence of spiritual beings. Weaving real-life stories into a rich narrative exploring the history, nature and significance of angels in our lives, this book will appeal to the enormous audience who have bought books such as PROOF OF HEAVEN. PROOF OF ANGELS is poised to join the ranks of major bestselling inspirationaltitles by offering readers not only a highly entertaining look into a universally fascinating topic but by also delivering afresh, well-constructed and deeply reassuring message: we are not alone.

Reviews for Proof of Angels

[mikebiever · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The author relies on opinion and a single incident to focus on the premise that our real world, may not be the reality we see. The notion that angels exist -- in some form or another -- and regularly take part in our lives falls to the individual perceptive enough to understand. Reliance on faith is key. Believing in the theory that angels are amongst us takes a keen eye and observance and openness to the small unexplained incidents that may be left to coincidence or circumstance. All things happen for a reason. Though we may not be able to understand the reasoning of all things we experience, we can take comfort in trusting -- believing with faith -- that things happen for reasons we don't yet understand. I'm sure many of us have had life events that beg the question; "why was I so lucky" or "why did this happen to me"? You can be open to the goodness of things no matter the ugliness of things, by keeping an open mind and faith in purpose.
