From the beginning the characters were a challenge for me to understand,yet they and the storyline were so enthralling that I hated to stop reading.

I found time and opportunity every day, and read until I had to take a break. The developments of events and characters were not at all predictable, nor was the full impact of the final outcome. One person found this helpful. This is an oldy but goody written by a master storyteller. If you know Roberts work this is classic Roberts from the 80s?

I really romantic story of a damsel in distress who finds a very wealthy, very handsome Prince charming. I choose the contents of books I read on whether they are uplifting and wholesome. I read the recommendations and the and ratings. This book started right off with a pregnant and stranded young lady who was 7 months pregnant who had to go to her rescurer's cabin. First thing you know they are having physical feelings for each other.

I realize lots of people enjoy this and that is their choice. But I was very disappointed at the contents. If you choose not to refund my money, so be it. I just wanted you to know not all people enjoy reading this. But if you could please reconsider, I would appreciate it. From first word to last,am transported to another world, able to view another reality. The story is of a women fighting to regain her sense of self after being in an abusive relationship.

The characters are lovable, the plot is good, and holds up to more than one reading. It made me gasp, it made me cry, it made me laugh, all emotions wrapped up neatly in this awesome book. I had all but given up on Miss Roberts books because of the overly detailed sex scenes in some prior books of hers I had read. This was tastefully written, including those. The plot as very well played out. Laura was on the run from her deceased husbands family who threatened to take her soon to be New born child.

Fate intervenes and she meets a moody, solitary man who takes her in and gives her hope, and love. Life is complicated but this stranger helps her sort out life and gives her something she so desperately needs. Two people with problems and heartache find each other and through honesty and time together come to know tru love and happiness. What could be better? This was definitely a pleasurable story. Totally Nora Roberts style. First, concerning John the Baptist , an angel appeared to his father Zacharias , a priest of the course of Abia, Luke 1: After completing his week [15] of ministry, Zacharias returned to his house in Hebron [16] and his wife Elizabeth conceived.

After she completed "five months" Luke 1: And the angel departed from her. Gabriel only appears by name in those two passages in Luke. In the first passage the angel identified himself as Gabriel, but in the second it is Luke who identified him as Gabriel. Gabriel is not called an archangel in the Bible. Believers are expressly warned not to worship angels in Colossians 2: The trope of Gabriel blowing a trumpet blast to indicate the Lord's return to Earth is especially familiar in Negro spirituals.

However, though the Bible mentions a trumpet blast preceding the resurrection of the dead, it never specifies Gabriel as the trumpeter. Different passages state different things: In related traditions, Gabriel is again not identified as the trumpeter. In Judaism, trumpets are prominent, and they seem to be blown by God himself, or sometimes Michael.

In Zoroastrianism , there is no trumpeter at the last judgement. In Islamic tradition, it is Israfil who blows the trumpet, though he is not named in the Qur'an. The Christian Church Fathers do not mention Gabriel as the trumpeter; early English literature similarly does not.

He ended, and the Son gave signal high To the bright minister that watch'd, he blew His trumpet, heard in Oreb since perhaps When God descended, and perhaps once more To sound at general doom. Later, Gabriel's horn is omnipresent in Negro spirituals, but it is unclear how the Byzantine conception inspired Milton and the spirituals, though they presumably have a common source.

Gabriel's horn also makes an appearance in The Eyes of Texas where it signifies the rapture. In Marc Connelly 's play based on spirituals, The Green Pastures , Gabriel has his beloved trumpet constantly with him, and the Lord has to warn him not to blow it too soon. Saint Gabriel Archangel's festivity day was exclusively celebrated the 18th of March as of many sources dating between the years and , except for a source published in , [23] where the feast was celebrated on April 7th for unknown reasons a parentheses notes that the day is normally celebrated on March Writer Elizabeth Drayson mentions the feast being celebrated in March 18 the year of in her book: Drayson, Elizabeth January 13, The Lead Books of Granada.

Palgrave Macmillan - edition. One of the oldest out of print sources pronouncing the feast for March 18th, was first published in and has the name "Flos sanctorum: The feast of Saint Gabriel was included for the first time in the General Roman Calendar in , for celebration on March In the day was officially transferred to September 29 for celebration in conjunction with the feast of St. The Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite celebrate his feast day on November 8 for those churches that follow the traditional Julian Calendar , November 8 currently falls on November 21 of the modern Gregorian Calendar , a difference of 13 days.

Eastern Orthodox commemorate him, not only on his November feast, but also on two other days: March 26 is the " Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel" and celebrates his role in the Annunciation. July 13 is also known as the "Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel", and celebrates all the appearances and miracles attributed to Gabriel throughout history.

The feast was first established on Mount Athos when, in the 9th century, during the reign of Emperor Basil II and the Empress Constantina Porphyrogenitus and while Nicholas Chrysoverges was Patriarch of Constantinople , the Archangel appeared in a cell [28] near Karyes , where he wrote with his finger on a stone tablet the hymn to the Theotokos , " It is truly meet The Ethiopian Church celebrates his feast on December 28, with a sizeable number of its believers making a pilgrimage to a church dedicated to "Saint Gabriel" in Kulubi on that day. Additionally, Gabriel is the patron saint of messengers, those who work for broadcasting and telecommunications such as radio and television, remote sensing , [ citation needed ] postal workers, clerics, diplomats, and stamp collectors.

In Latter-day Saint theology, Gabriel is believed to have lived a mortal life as the prophet Noah. The two are regarded as the same individual; Noah being his mortal name and Gabriel being his heavenly name. As the Bible portrays Gabriel as a celestial messenger sent to Daniel , [35] Mary , [36] and Zechariah , [37] so too Islamic tradition holds that Gabriel was sent to numerous pre-Islamic prophets with revelation and divine injunctions, including Adam , whom Muslims believe was consoled by Gabriel some time after the Fall.

According to Muslim belief, God revealed the Quran to the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel, [38] and the fifty-third chapter of the text describes the angel without naming him, in a passage that Islamic commentators have unanimously interpreted as referring to Gabriel. The passage in question, This is naught but a revelation revealed, taught him by one mighty in power, very strong; he stood poised being on the higher horizon, then drew near and suspended hung, two bows'-length away, or nearer, then revealed to His servant that he revealed.

Gabriel is also named numerous times in the Qur'an 2: In Muslim tradition , Gabriel is considered one of the primary archangels. Exegesis narrates that Muhammad saw Gabriel in his full angelic splendor only twice, the first time being when he received his first revelation. Muslims also revere Gabriel for a number of historical events predating the first revelation. Muslims believe that Gabriel was the angel who informed Zachariah of John's birth as well as Mary of the future nativity of Jesus , [41] and that Gabriel was one of three angels who had earlier informed Abraham of the birth of Isaac.

Gabriel also makes a famous appearance in the Hadith of Gabriel , where he questions Muhammad on the core tenets of Islam. Contrary to Christian tradition, Islamic traditions depict Gabriel as the warring angel. Accordingly he aided Muhammed to overcome his adversaries, significantly during the Battle of Badr and against a demon during the Mi'raj [43] [44].

Angels are described as pure spirits. Brown draws comparisons in Byzantine iconography between portrayals of angels and the conventions used to depict court eunuchs. Mainly from the Caucasus, they tended to have light eyes, hair, and skin; and those "castrated in childhood developed a distinctive skeletal structure, lacked full masculine musculature, body hair and beards Brown suggests that "Byzantine artists drew, consciously or not, on this iconography of the court eunuch".

The eccentric English hagiographer and antiquarian, Sabine Baring-Gould — , wrote the English lyrics to Gabriel's Message , which he translated from the Basque Christmas carol Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen , which was probably related to the 13th or 14th-century Latin chant Angelus Ad Virginem , which itself is based on the biblical account of the Annunciation in the Gospel of Luke.

In Creed's song, "My Own Prison", Gabriel is mentioned deciphering the visions to the main character in the song. Gabriel is most often portrayed in the context of scenes of the Annunciation. In a 16th-century drawing by Lucas van Leyden of the Netherlands was discovered.

Goldner, chairman of the department of prints and drawings at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, suggests that the sketch was for a stained glass window.

However, Gabriel is usually portrayed with certain distinguishing characteristics.
