Angels We Have Heard

Angels We Have Heard is a collection of weekly newspaper columns, The Shepherd's Call, dedicated to observing God's glory in everyday events. Following the teaching example of Jesus, the articles are word pictures drawn from ordinary life. They are simple, poignant and brief. Sometimes the piece emanates from a simple event such as a runaway dirigible or a person who refuses to change his watch to daylight savings time. At other times, the column springs from a current event or concern. Occasionally, there is an imaginary account of a happening among the angels which speaks to a spiritual need or truth. Folk seem to like the angel stories best; hence the title, Angels We Have Heard.
To make the book user friendly, the collection is organized around both the Christian and secular calendars.

Through the years, readers have requested The Shepherd's Call be offered in a bound volume. This book is a response to those many requests. Angels We Have Heard is an inspiring book that one can keep and read forever. It makes an excellent gift, perfect for Christmas or anytime.
