Angels Delight
A Christmas novel for for 7 - 11 year olds.
A hilarious, fun-filled story all about what (might) have happened behind-the-scenes events at the Nativity…
There's great excitement in Heaven - the Son of God is about to be born on earth as a tiny baby!
Unfortunately, the task of delivering the big news has fallen to Gabe - who is probably the least qualified angel in the whole of creation…
Before he knows it, there’a dangerous journey to undertake; a wedding to get back on track; a donkey to be re-invented; and, lurking in the shadows, a certain somebody who's not too keen on the whole project.
Oh, and somebody forgot to book the hotel room!
Miracles, mayhem & mystery are the order of the day, as the whole of creation holds its breath for what promises to be the most exciting event in history.
If it happens…
‘Children of many ages will love this book...
Full of imagination, a perfect mix of silliness and seriousness...
Wit, wisdom and suspense, all woven together with a thread gently revealing the cosmic purpose of the birth of Jesus.’

“Mike’s playful reimagining of the Christmas story through the eyes of three very different angel friends will help you to see the nativity with new eyes! A wonderful romp through the nativity story- and the reason for it!”
