Emmanuel's Book III: What Is an Angel Doing Here? Paperback – October 1, 1994

This book should be read by everyone.

I have been a spiritual seeker and student for most of my life with a book case full of inspired and inspiring books on the subject. There are many titles I have read and passed on. There are many titles that I keep around for a second read or to lend to friends. There are a few titles that I love so much that I have read them many times and purchased several copies for gifts over the years. All three of the Emmanuel books fall into this category. If I could give ten stars I would.

It is so refreshing and uplifting to read this book and dance my way through the day. Beautiful display of infinite grace.

I am very grateful for the Emmanuel books. I found them just when I needed them and read all three almost straight through. Now I will have to go back over time and revisit each one. I'm sure I'll get something new each time. Wonderful for anyone seeking to remember why they are here, as a person, on Earth.

As I was reading, I noticed a lot of similarity of Ram Dass' teachings on tape and Emmanuel. Since Ram Dass wrote the introduction for books I and II, I'm sure Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton were OK with his interpretations of all three Emmanuel's books. This is the deepest book on spirituality and metaphysics that I have ever read. Great Stuff!

I found myself longing for more of Emmanuels wisdom and the calmness that is truly exquisite that I feel when reading his messages. I’ve never had that happen to me before. I’ve loved Esther Hicks Abraham but Emmanuel is truly one of a kind. I wish this was not the last book. I will miss him.

If you loved the first two books from Emmanuel you won't be disappointed with this one. In fact, I think it is my favorite of the three. It speaks deep truth that rings true in a style that caused this reader to chuckle frequently. The printed pages, in a well-spaced poetry-type format, make for easy reading. The line drawings (illustrations) are delightful.

In Emmanuel's Book III, we are reminded constantly that we are angels wearing costumes and that we have to remember our true nature. As human beings, we live in a world of illusion and experience a lot of suffering. Emmanuel tells us to honor and be present to our suffering and to feel compassion for ourselves and others. Emmanuel teaches that karma is not punitive, that it is rather about things that need to be lovingly addressed and that life is about fulfillment, awakening, recognition and bringing light to the world.I have read numerous channelled books. It is confusing to me when the information is contradictory from one book to the other. In this book, for example, Emmanuel denies the existence of hauntings. Many have experienced hauntings by dark earth-bound souls, including incubus. That being said, overall the information contained in this book rings true to me.
