Angels, Of Course

Win Tuck-Gleason

Description

Through narrative and illustrations, this spiritual memoir shares one woman’s many encounters with heavenly angels throughout her lifetime.
When Win Tuck-Gleason was growing up, she thought everyone could see angels. People just didn’t talk about them; they still don’t. She just accepted the angels’ presence, and she kept silent. It was as if she wasn’t given permission to talk about them. Now she has permission.
In Angels, Of Course, she offers a collection of stories and paintings that share her varied experiences with heavenly angels. It chronicles twenty visits by angels beginning with her childhood and continuing to the present day. Tuck-Gleason isn’t sure why she’s been blessed with angelic encounters, but she communicates that their presence is comforting to her, they give her confidence, and they deliver a positive atmosphere when they’re around.
Angels, Of Course describes the different shapes and sizes of angels and the circumstances in which they visited. Tuck-Gleason tells how they fill her life with love, guidance, and protection, just when she needs it.

INTRODUCTION
A lot of thought has gone into deciding how to present the concept of heavenly angels to the general public. When talking to people, I observed that they generally accepted the reality of angels at a distance, but I also discovered most people were not quite comfortable hearing details of their existence in modern times.
I had frequent encounters with angels when I was a child and then again when I was in my twenties and forties. I am finally able to share these episodes and paintings with you. I hope they will make you more aware of the love, guidance, and protection that is available to you.
Angelic presence is very comforting. Angels deliver a very positive atmosphere whenever they are around. A lot of people have felt their presence without being able to see them. So why did I get to see angels? It’s a mystery to me. I’m certainly not special. I do, however, come from a long line of Christian ancestry. Maybe my Dutch grandmother prayed them around me.
Being able to see these angels was a wonderful experience; however, actually seeing them was not as important as being dedicated to Jesus Christ.
I want to make it very clear that, as a Christian, one’s focus should always be on Christ. Jesus Christ is what Christianity is all about. Angels are His servants only, and we should never worship them. You may never see an angel on earth, and it does not matter one iota.
Sometimes I wonder if Jesus allowed me to see these angels because I needed them so badly to carry me through some of the bad experiences in my life. Don’t wish that on yourself!
I don’t want to go into detail about some of the things I’ve been through because they are very personal.
