She also recounts other remarkable experiences—including an unexpected moment in a CVS pharmacy and the divine hand behind the publication of her Book of Angels.Our conversation goes beyond personal experiences, diving into the profound question:👉 Why are some people rescued while others are not?This is a heartfelt and thought-provoking dialogue about the presence of angels, the mysteries of divine intervention, and the way these experiences shape our understanding of life and faith.Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or simply curious, this episode will inspire you to reflect on your own connection with the angelic realm.About Sophy BurnhamAuthor of 17 books, Sophy Burnham has published novels, nonfiction, short stories, children’s books, poetry and scores of essays and magazine articles and written award-winning plays, Penelope (the story of the Odyssey from Penelope’s point of view) has been staged many times. Her works are translated into 25 languages.
