Watching over the world are numbers of angels, who have power to help those who try to act for good. They don't look like angels you've seen in paintings. but they are very real---- NGELS in a ^RSH^ORLD is the story of Haley Olsten, whose birth was foretold by one of these good spirits, and whose entire life is a process of discovering the role she is destined to play. Haley is twenty-two years old in 1932. a lovely and sheltered Bostonian with every advantage-but she feels that her life is empty. When a friend asks Haley to accompany her on a trip to India. Haley finds herself powerfully drawn to the idea. And her father. who knows that his daughter has a special destiny, silences his own fears and Iets her go. Haley s open heart eagerly absorbs the ancient wisdom of India, and her beauty and goodness attract everyone to her. But her innocence of real evil puts her in terrible danger. Affection for her traveling companion makes Haley unable to see that envy has turnéd a childhood friend into an enemy. Confidence in the safety of the world makes her unwisely brave in going alone to the palace of the Maharaja Damor Sáling. And here begins Haley s real learning: first, of the existence of true evil, and second. of her own destiny as a warrior for good. Step by step, she is led to enlightenment by an extraordinary teacher. (Continued on backJlap)
(Continuedfrom frontJlap) Though Haley does not yet know her own spirítual strength. the wisdom she has attained will give her the power to stand up to somé of the greatest evil the world has ever known-and much will be required of her. in the dark streets of Berlin, as the Nazi war machine prepares to roll across Europe. Haley will learn, as we all can. that it is possible to choose to be the hero of her own life. Part romantic adventure növel, part guide to spiritual enlightenment. this növel says to every reader: "Have you heard the angels speak? You can. "Is your life a story like this? Why not?" DON BRADLEY is a great-grandson of Lew Wallace, the author of Ben-Hur. He lives in Colorado, and lectures frequently on the themes of this book. He is at work on another növel.
