Visions of Angels

Angel books and products are on every best-selling list, but the angels featured here are different from the winged cherubs currently flying around book and gift stores. These angels walk the earth among us.

Here, 35 of today's most highly regarded photographers, from Duane Michals and Lois Greenfield to David Michael Kennedy and Joyce Tenneson, were asked to submit a photograph that best expresses their vision of an angel. The result is a timely and heavenly portfolio -- an entirely original view of celestial beings.

In 40 black-and-white photographs that range from the ephemeral (a pair of feet at the end of a flowing gown) to the earthly (a baby's hand clasping an adult's finger), the idea of the angels is given artistic vision. A running list of angel names, along with a description of their earthly duties, is included with each photograph. A foreword by best-selling angel author. Sophy Burnham, and a shining silver jacket makes this book irresistible to angel lovers.
