Publisher's summary

It could be a cloud in the shape of a loved one's face or an extremely relevant song playing on the radio at the exact time of a friend's death - if we allow ourselves to stop, look, and listen, we can identify what spiritual teacher Ann Bolinger-McQuade calls personal oracles. When we tune into these subtle messages from Spirit, we will discover guidance for navigating life's most trying situations. In this illuminating audiobook, listeners will learn that the universe is constantly conspiring in our favor and is ready to lend a helping hand when we need it most - if only we can look closely and open our hearts to the divine messages that are on display around us.

Sharing stories of divine inspiration from her own life, as well as the lives of others (many of them well-known historical or contemporary figures), McQuade shows listeners how.

In "A Pair Of Sparrows Save A Man's Life," journalist Byron Pitts narrowly escaped being hit by a car and then saw a couple birds circling in front of him. The birds reminded him of the lyrics to his mother's favorite hymn: "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." The comforting reminder of guidance encouraged him to persevere in his challenging career in broadcast journalism, which was ultimately rewarded when CBS offered him a position on 60 Minutes.

In "A Little Boy Brings Hope Back Into A Woman's Life," Nancy was reeling from her husband's recent diagnosis of AML, a rare form of leukemia, when a seven-year-old boy knocked at her door collecting donations for AML research. He smiled at her warmly as he told her how he had had AML since he was two, and then proudly announced that a transplant had saved his life.

In "Sir Isaac Newton's Apple Was Actually An Everyday Oracle," many are familiar with the story of how Sir Isaac Newton first discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head but, it is a lesser known fact that Newton was interested in the supernatural. Born in the 1600s, when astronomy and astrology were considered one and the same, the highly respected alchemist looked to the heavens to assist him in his quest to decode the mysteries of the universe. The falling apple that arrested his attention acted as his personal oracle.

In addition to illuminating oracles through examples, McQuade discusses the history and science of oracles in general and of specific personal oracles. McQuade offers the listener practical instructions for identifying and decoding the divine messages in their own lives.
