In this powerful episode of Angelic Footprints, I welcome internationally acclaimed author Sophy Burnham, whose works include the bestselling Book of Angels along with 16 other novels, essays, and literary works.

Sophy shares her breathtaking story of being saved by an angel while skiing in France, when she slid out of control down a mountain. She also recounts other remarkable experiences—including an unexpected moment in a CVS pharmacy and the divine hand behind the publication of her Book of Angels.

Our conversation goes beyond personal experiences, diving into the profound question:

👉 Why are some people rescued while others are not?

This is a heartfelt and thought-provoking dialogue about the presence of angels, the mysteries of divine intervention, and the way these experiences shape our understanding of life and faith.

Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or simply curious, this episode will inspire you to reflect on your own connection with the angelic realm.
