Millennium Marketing
Review by Toby A. Welch
Think you know angels? Earth Angels – Operation Angel may change your mind. The chapbook by Saskatoon-based author Marion Mutala explores angels as more than just the familiar Christmas tree ornaments. Mutala presents them as spiritual beings, messengers of God, and guardians of humans.
At just 26 pages, the chapbook is ideal for tucking into a purse or bag for a quick, reflective read. Mutala covers a wide range of topics: the different types of angels — archangels, seraphim, cherubim, living creatures, and ordinary angels — their purposes, and the eight symbolic traits often associated with them, from bright lights and wings to agelessness and high vibrations. The book also highlights a few well-known angels and includes suggested scripture readings.
Mutala shares personal experiences that suggest the presence of guardian angels in everyday life. One story recounts a 19-year-old Mutala driving into a ditch and being helped by a mysterious man she believes was an angel. Such accounts invite readers to reflect on their own experiences with the divine.
The underlying message of Earth Angels encourages readers to become “angels on Earth” by striving for love, justice, and kindness — a timely reminder in today’s chaotic world.
This is the sixth of Mutala’s 19 published books reviewed by Welch. Each offers thoughtful insight that lingers long after reading. For anyone curious about angels and their potential influence, Earth Angels is a concise, thought-provoking addition to your bookshelf — or perhaps your bag.
