Amazon.com Martha Williamson， executive producer of the popular drama series Touched by an Angel， teamed up with author Robin Sheets to rework four of the most memorable episodes into a polished short-story format. The two give behind-the-scenes background on each story and on the history of the show itself. Rarely has a television program had such a large impact on its viewers and garnered such a faithful following. This book， tells how it all came about through the grace of God and the unbending faith of its cast， crew， and viewers. From Booklist If books are obsolete， no one's told the TV honchos: half the current series have issued tie-in volumes this year. Williamson， executive producer and frequent writer of CBS' unexpectedly succesful Touched by an Angel， uses three types of material in her celebration of the show. Part one describes a practical "miracle" --the fact the show got on the air， stayed on the air， and found a broad enough audience to earn top-10 ratings. In part two， coauthor Sheets offers short-story versions of four scripts written or cowritten by Williamson: "Interview with an Angel，" "There， but for the Grace of God，" "An Unexpected Snow，" and "Jacob's Ladder." The third section supplies brief profiles of stars Roma Downey， Della Reese， and John Dye. Response from viewers is scattered throughout the book. Fans will be thrilled to find credits appended for the nearly 50 episodes aired by December 22， 1996: each includes episode title， initial airdate， author (and source author where applicable)， director， and guest actors and their characters' names. Given Touched by an Angel's popularity， patron interest is likely. Mary Carroll See all Editorial Reviews
