Grandpas Angel

An elderly man shares his life story with his grandson, complete with long, dangerous walks to school, war, love and marriage, and a very special protector.

This little boy's grandpa tells him stories whenever he visits. He tells how nothing ever seemed to hurt him. Every morning as a boy, he would run past the big statue of an angel on his way to school, and bullies, buses, high trees, deep lakes - none could touch him. Even through war and unemployment, Grandpa's angel is always looking out for him.

Gail Thomas and Jean Castelow, a daughter and her mama, completed this book using nature photographs taken at or near their home near beautiful Lake Seminole, near Donalsonville, Georgia. We dedicate this book to all storm victims in Seminole County, Ga. Also, our surrounding counties, Mexico Beach and Panama City, Florida. We hope you know that God sent his son, Jesus, to die for us and resurrected him to sit at his right side and take us to Heaven when we die if we will accept him as our Savior and give our lives to him. His Holy Spirit can guide us and help us each day on our earthly journey. People can see Jesus in our hearts on earth, and we can pray for healing and comfort anytime and receive his strength and power. Gail and her mama love Jesus, which is reflected in the poetry book. The Bible speaks of angels as messengers who are sent by God to help us at times in our lives. Our prayer is that you will be encouraged, healed, and inspired by this book, and always comforted, knowing God's angels are with your every day. Love and Prayers,

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.
