The Gift of an Angel W/ Lullaby CD: For Parents Welcoming a New Child [With CD]

By Marianne Richmond

Book Overview

Gathering His host of angels, the Lord considered them one by one, "I need a volunteer," He said, "to watch over this daughter or son." A heartwarming classic, The Gift of an Angel - now with lullaby CD - is a beautiful gift of warmth and joy for parents welcoming a new child. With poetic prose and endearing artwork, the story recounts the blessed moments before a baby's birth when God chooses a most special gift for His miracle of creation, a gentle-hearted angel to be a child's lifelong guardian and friend. The last page offers a place to record baby's name and birthdate, making The Gift of an Angel a cherished keepsake for years to come. The companion lullaby CD features 45 minutes of lovely instrumental music to soothe baby to sleep. Original works and familiar songs combine to make this sweet-sounding collection. A heavenly gift indeed.

What a beautiful book!

This is such a beautiful and special book. I think that it's especially poignant for parents who have previously lost a child. It is such a message of love that your angel in heaven will be with your new child forever. I highly recommend this sweet story.

Beautifully illustrated keepsake

This book is a sweet, whimsical book to begin a baby's library. You can customize it with the appropriate family names. It would make a great shower gift!

A family tradition in the making!!

This amazing book was given to me on the birth of my son, Dylan, and there couldn't have been a more perfect gift. The Gift of an Angel embodies the wonder of childbirth and the love surrounding a child, both here on earth and in heaven. Each and every time I read it, I am struck by the same feeling of warmth and love. Thank you Marianne Richmond for adding to our family traditions!

"Gift of an Angel"...The perfect gift for new parents

Marianne Richmonds book "The Gift of an Angel" is a touching book about God choosing an angel for every newborn child born unto this earth. It was the most sentimental heartfelt book I have ever read. I received it as a gift after my daughter Karlyn was born. It truly brings together the love, and emotion of the whole experience that encompasses childbirth. I've never cried so hard reading a book. This is an excellent gift to give to new parents. I will treasure this book forever!
