Angelina Fast-Vlaar recounts the true story of a dream camping trip through the Australian outback with her husband Peter, which produces an untimely encounter with death, and an adventure more amazing than they could have ever dreamed. We are told that we sometimes entertain angels unaware, but never did Angelina imagine that God would send "not one," but seven encounters with "angels" in the remote outback to help her cope with a drastic turn of events. This amazing "trip of a lifetime" will leave readers chilled and constantly moving between deep sorrow and bubbling joy. Angelina's gripping account of her personal struggle with lonlieness, depression, and intense grief becomes a major tribute to the grace and love of God. Seven Angels for Seven Days is a must-read for believers. Winner of the 2004 First-time Canadian Christian Author award.

Written in a diary-style format, Seven Angels for Seven Days shows the journey of the author, Angelina Fast-Vlaar, and her husband, Peter, throughout their excursions in the Australian outback. From visiting family to camping, the Angelina leads readers on a path that ultimately leads us to her husband's death, then her journey of learning to overcome her grief and sorrow, and finally to the healing the Lord brings about in her life. In the midst of grief, sorrow, and uncertain times, we see how the Lord brings 'angels' to Ms. Fast-Vlaar when she most needed someone to comfort, guide, and offer support to her. Although I am not a fan of the diary-style formatted writing, those who love reading in this format, this book is for you. Armchair Interviews says: The author takes us on a backseat adventure throughout the wondrous Australian outback and portrays it so beautifully.
