Angels in the Fire by Dann Stadler

Angels in the Fire had me hooked from the moment I read the first page. Before I knew it, the afternoon was over, and I had finished the book. Make sure that you have a box of tissues, because it definitely will bring tears to your eyes. If you have any doubts about the miracles of God, this book definitely will cause you to reevaluate them.

This book is a true story about Dann and Tracey Stadler who literally went through the fire. This couple survived a horrible crash caused by a drunk driver. As their story unfolds, it is evident that they survived the wreck only through the miraculous intervention of God. Their unwavering faith in God during their heartbreaking recovery was truly incredible. Even through their long, grueling, and painful recovery process, their faith in God continued to grow and stand firm.

I cannot imagine anyone reading this book and not being touched by this riveting story. The books ends with this comment which I loved, “I do hope readers find inspiration from our story, gain insight into their own struggles and know the trails of life are but fleeting to God's abiding love."

Angels By My Side


I have so many books to read...and so little time this summer to read them.  I finally finished this book today. 



The author, Betty Malz, starts the book with this quote, “This book is dedicated to bringing hope to the helpless and offering help to the fearful.”  I knew from that quote that this book was going to have my full attention.  I was definitely not disappointed!

I have always been fascinated with the topic of angels, but I had never taken the time to research them.  I was excited to see that Betty Malz did that research for me in this book!  

She wrote about different occasion in the Bible where angels appeared. You will be amazed about how many times that God has sent His angels.   Protecting angels, rescuing angels and messenger angels all played any important part of the scriptures.  Until I read this book, I hadn't given much thought to the different roles and purposes that angels have. 

Throughout the book, the author writes about the real life experiences of many different people who have been visited by angels.  I must admit there were a few that I had a hard time believing.  However, when I considered the power of God, I realized that I have no reason to doubt the power of the Almighty.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning more about angels.
