In the Charge of an Angel

Jan Barger is fascinated by angels. She is also an illustrator and calligrapher. In this lovely gift book she brings together both these skills to produce a collection of quotations and pictures that will delight all fellow angel-lovers. The title comes from St Augustine: Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel. Fun illustrations accompany quotations from St Ambrose, Thomas Carlyle, Isaac Watts, G.K. Chesterton, Francis Thompson, St Augustine and others, together with biblical quotations from angels.
