News Wire:
Author and lecturer Joan Wester Anderson will be our next guest on Friday,
December 18th. Joan will tell us stories of angels. You will be enriched by
her belief as I have been.
Joan was born in Evanston, Illinois and began her writing career in 1973
with a series of family humor articles for local newspapers and Catholic
publications, and was a monthly columnist for two national magazines during
the 1980s. She has published more than one thousand articles and short
stories in a variety of publications, including: Woman’s Day, Modern Bride,
Virtue, Reader’s Digest, and the New York Times Syndicate.
Her 15 books include: WHERE ANGELS WALK, TRUE STORIES OF HEAVENLY VISITORS,
which was on the New York Times best-seller list for over a year, has sold
almost two million copies and been translated into fourteen languages.
Published in fall, 1994, were the sequel to ANGELS, titled WHERE MIRACLES
HAPPEN, and for children, AN ANGEL TO WATCH OVER ME. Both books were written
in response to suggestions from readers, and were followed in rapid
succession by three more in this series.FOREVER YOUNG (Thomas More
Publishers), the life story of actress Loretta Young, was published in
November, 2000. The actress had read the angel series, and requested
Anderson as her biographer. The two became close friends. Anderson’s book,
IN THE ARMS OF ANGELS (Loyola Press) covers angelic activity primarily
during the past decade, including stories of hope from the 9/11 and
Columbine School tragedies. Her most recent books, GUARDIAN ANGELS (Loyola
Press), and ANGELS AND
WONDERS (Loyola Press), focus on amazing and tender stories of God’s
answers to prayers.
Anderson has appeared on national television programs including “Good
Morning America,” “Oprah,” “20/20,” “NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw” and
“Mother Angelica Live,” and was featured in such documentaries as
“Angels–Beyond the Light” (NBC), “Angel Stories” and “Stories of Miracles”
(The Learning Channel), and many videos. She was a story consultant for the
television series, IT’S A MIRACLE, lectures in cities across the country,
and has been interviewed on hundreds of radio talk shows.
Anderson is a Catholic and member of St. Edna’s Parish in Arlington Heights
IL., a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, a member of
the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and a former adjunct
professor at Harper Community College in Palatine, Illinois. She and her
husband live in suburban Chicago, and have five grown children and four
grandchildren.
