Hodder & Stoughton Journeys to Impossible Places. In Life and Every Adventure Reeve Simon

Lorna Byrne sees and talks with angels every day of her life and has done since she was a baby. As a child Lorna was told by the angels that her job on this earth was to share the wisdom and knowledge that God and the angels were giving her. When Lorna's husband died, her world fell apart. In Stairways to Heaven she tells the story of how she pulled her life back together and how she, an uneducated mother of four, broke her silence and started to spread the angels' message to the world. Lorna tells us of the future that God envisages for us - and some possible other futures, depending on the decisions we make. 'Everyone must play their part', she says. She reveals some of the most extraordinarily detailed information about angels and the way they work in the world, that has ever been written down
