[Book Review]-The Day an Angel Ran into My Room

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids Angels, GOD, kids book

Book cover

The Day an Angel Ran into My Room by Annabella Vanezuela-Alarcon is a children’s storybook about a girl named Alessandra who had a visit from her guardian angel before going to bed one night.

Angelise her guardian angel spoke to her and told her that she is special. She is part of a great big family and has many different teachers who can teach her. There are teachers to teach her in school about academics while her parents and those around her teach her about love.

Angeleise also lets Alessandra into some secrets about life. She tells her how important it is for her to remain positive and think of good things. Do not be afraid to ASK GOD for things she may need and if GOD thinks she should have it, it will be given to her. Everything that she does have a reaction. Any good deed that Alessandra does will be multiplied and more good would come back to her.

If she faced any problems to seek help from her parents or guardian angel as problems are learning experiences which she has to go through in life. GOD is also always there for her and will send her guardian angel down to her in times of need.

My thoughts

I love how Annnabella uses day to day examples to explain GOD’s love and actions and how being positive and prayer can help a person.

Praying means closing your eyes and reaching
deep, deep into your heart with all your love
and feeling like one with God.

The quotation above from one of the pages really caught my attention. Prayer is something which is each child can do.They can pray to GOD for guidance and seek his help. She makes it so easy for a child who is reading the book to understand these concepts which maybe rather complex to a 5 yr old. My son really enjoyed reading the book together with me and learning more about how GOD and his love for us. I certainly recommend this book to any parent who would like to explain about guardian angels and the need to ASK and seek help when needed.

You can purchase a copy of The Day an Angel Ran into My Room from Amazon.

My thoughts

Going through the various checklists and assessments in each chapter made me more aware of my mental/physical needs.I agree that it is important to remove all physical and mental toxins that may be in your life. It is essential to be able to identify both internal and external stresses in your life. Setting priorities and looking back at past experience did help me plan my life and help remove the fatigue that I was experiencing the past few years. I realised that there are still certain areas in my life which can be further simplified and worked on so that I’ll be able to boost my energy level further. t does feel great to be rejuvenated.
