These remarkable Love Letters were dictated by “an Angel”—a luminous, unnamed being who represents the entire Angelic Realm. Speaking for an uncountable number of angelic beings, Angel says, “I am here as your faithful companion. I give you my wings and all my love so we rise together until we reach the indescribable reality of what you are in God.” Both Angels and humans proceed from the will of God, and angels yearn to collaborate with humans to unite with God completely.
