Review: Psychic Gary Quinn’s “May the Angels Be with You” can be read on 2 levels, which I’ll describe more fully later (1) the literal or factual and (2) the experiential. Broken hearted after a difficult unexpected breakup with my boyfriend, I picked up this book hoping to have a healing experience, and absolutely did! So I give the book 5 stars for the experiential component. However, having read metaphysical material for nearly 30 years, I had some issues with some of the material presented as fact, and give the book 3 stars for the factual component.(1) The literal or factual level: Information presented in metaphysical books can be difficult to corroborate. One often has to rely on personal experience and other authors of metaphysical sources. Although I believe I’ve seen an angel myself, and have read several other books on angels, this book is the only place I’ve seen some of this material. Although Quinn tells us angels are messengers, which agrees with everything I’ve read about angels, he also says they have no opinions and no free-will. Given all the documented stories of angels, this doesn’t make sense to me. To do all their good deeds, angels would need to possess some judgment and free-will, and not function as automatons.Also, Quinn tells the reader he won’t complicate the matter of angels by explaining about heavenly hierarchies, and then goes on to explain that there are 7 angels whom you should petition for help in this order: The Angel of 1. Vision, 2. Wisdom, 3. Purity, 4. Strength, 5. Love, 6. Peace, 7. Victory. This information is not contained in any other book I’ve read on angels, and all internet searches of this matter lead back to Gary Quinn! Quinn tells us he received this information from a wise spiritual teacher who told him he would understand the nature and the sequence of these angels if he meditates on this, allowing each angel to “speak” to him. Quinn did, and this was revealed. Although he reveals to the reader the nature of each angel, and provides anecdotes about clients who were helped by each of these angels, he refuses to disclose why the sequence should be in the order given. Instead, Quinn teases the reader, asking questions like, “Wouldn’t it make sense to have the Angel of Love first?” He doesn’t answer these questions and tells the reader to meditate on it. I found Quinn’s coyness on this matter annoying, as I did his periodic reminders that it’s perfectly okay to seek material wealth for it’s own sake.
Although I had some questions about the existence and sequence of these particular angels, there was wisdom in each section of the book devoted to them. For example, Carrie attracted her soulmate by becoming a loving person who healed a long-standing rift with her brother and then radiated happiness, love and fun with everyone she encountered: friends, colleagues and even her dry-cleaner.
2. Quinn says that one doesn’t need to see or fully believe in angels to receive their help: Just act “as if” angels are real and take a leap of faith in seeking their guidance. In seeking my healing experience, I didn’t bother petitioning specific angels in order, nor did I use the 4-page meditation provided in chapter 10. Instead, I observed the pattern of Quinn’s readings to his clients and decided to give myself one! Admittedly I was skeptical. Each client gets a reading from Quinn and like magic seems to attract love, fabulous career changes, improved health, and inner peace. I’m reminded of the chain emails that promise all this stuff if you simply forward the email to 20 people. None-the-less, I relaxed myself the way Quinn helps his clients relax, got into a semi-meditative state, asked for heavenly help, and posed a question to my angels: “If you’re supposedly helping me, why did I suffer this breakup with G? I listened for the answer in my mind, which was, “we are always with you. We removed you from a bad situation…” Beyond the answer, I actually felt a sense of peace and healing in my heart that I didn’t previously have, which has stayed with me several days so far. I wasn’t instantly healed of a broken heart, but I felt better and am much further along in my healing process. So while I still have no idea whether the bulk of Quinn’s material is factually true, the healing I achieved using this book was worth the read.

Angel letters
[compiled by] Sophy Burnham
Publisher: Guideposts c1991.
ISBN: 0345373421
Review: I read the hardcover edition of this book a couple of years ago while staying at a friend’s mountain retreat. It was powerful & deeply moving far beyond words. Unlike so many of the books & articles which have appeared in response to the flood of popular interest about angels, ANGEL LETTERS recounts a number of truly supernatural experiences — not merely the wonderful expression of goodness through kind human hearts, but goodness of another order of magnitude entirely. The letters come from people of widely diverse backgrounds, and are written with simplicity & heartfelt authenticity — very little “religious” sugarcoating here. Their experiences range from the inspiring (in most cases) to the mundane, to frightening or mysterious; all are fascinating, and it is clear the writers of each of these letters experienced something unique & unforgettable. Thank you, Sophy Burnham, for sharing these jewels!
