Book Review
Presence of Angels, A Healer’s Life
By J.C. Hugh MacKimmie
Ever so often a book comes along that makes you want to sit down and lose yourself in the story. MacKimmie’s book, Presence of Angels, is one such book. It is filled with stories of his youth, growing years, and the chiropractic practice that became his avenue for healing work. The wit and wisdom in the book is delicious. The miracles are inspiring, and the idiocy of our humanness will make you look at where you aren’t paying attention in your own life to the messages from guidance that tell you how to avoid problems or make the most of your health and your potential.
MacKimmie isn’t pontificating. He lived his life as willfully as many of us. Overcoming polio, liver cancer, paralysis, and other life threatening ailments all point to a bigger reality than we think logically is available, and a more powerful healing power than drugs and surgery. The author had a link with intuition from an early age, but like many, did not always follow what he was told to do. And therein lies the rub…being human. At age 77, he is sharing his retrospective and giving us the benefit of his own experience to help us navigate this thing called life. And being human himself, he has no illusions that we’ll all sit up and do what he suggests. However, we will think about it!
One of the amazing elements of the book is the healing power that is sandwiched within its pages. When MacKimmie was guided to write the story, his guidance told him that he would touch more people with healing through the book than he did during the entire years of his active practice (and he treated well over 100,000 people). He was also told not to go through normal PR channels to promote the book – that the angels would handle the connections. And they are.
This book is a page turner, and although it is 477 pages, I was saddened when the end came. I wanted it to go on and on, so I decided to pick it up and read it again. There are enough memorable passages and side-splitting stories to make you feel you’re with an old friend as you take the journey a second time.
If you want to do yourself a favor as the New Year begins, read this book. It will set you on a journey of conscious awareness that may indeed be what you’ve been longing for.
