Angel Whispers

About this book

A voice of comfort arrives from the unseen world in this nineteenth-century collection of devotional writing. Angels appear close to ordinary grief, offering a way to imagine affection continuing after separation.

Daniel Clarke Eddy brings religious feeling and the language of spiritual presence into a gentle sequence of reflections. The writing belongs to an era when the boundaries between Protestant consolation and emerging Spiritualist ideas were being argued over in homes and churches. Its quietest moments dwell on what mourners wish they could hear, and on the hope that absence might someday be answered.
