Review of An Angel Named Zabar
An Angel Named Zabar: Short Stores About ONE Angel by Bobby Warren Miller is a collection of the author's dreams. Zabar comes to Bobby in dreams to show him events that changed people's lives and need to be understood. A few of these dreams are about the value of life, God's protection, self-forgiveness, responsibility for making the world a better place, the power of prayer, communication after death, animals, choices and consequences, and life after death. You can learn much from reading about Bobby's dreams and Zabar's messages.
I had difficulty putting this amazing book down because all the dreams were relatable and gave me food for thought. My favorite dream was when an uncle learned the truth about his nephew, whom he thought was worthless. Although I liked Zabar setting a group of wealthy men straight on their opinions, this dream was my least favorite because I came away disbelieving that Zabar had changed them. There was something that concerned them more than Zabar's messages. One of the takeaways from this book is, "Some things are larger than we are, no matter how big we think we are." This simple sentence has a lot of truth and food for thought in it. This story is well written, with each chapter dedicated to a dream and a heading that gives the reader a clue about that chapter. Each dream reveals the power of God and how He is there for each of us, depending on our choices. At first, I thought that the word "stores" was a typo in the subheading for this book, but I discovered it was a brilliant way to stress that this book does not contain multiple stories but multiple dreams.
Even though this book has a few minor errors, I found nothing to recommend the author change or anything I considered negative about it. The eight errors I encountered did not decrease my reading enjoyment. Therefore, with the positive aspects discussed above, I found no reason not to give this professionally edited book 5 out of 5 stars.
I recommend this book to Christians who enjoy reading short books about God's work. Non-believers may be offended by its biblical content and not understand Zabar's or God's actions. You should avoid this book if non-borderline profanity is offensive to you.
