Marc Siegel hopes readers will ‘look for signs from God’ through his new book The Angels Among Us

Fox News medical analyst and practicing physician Marc Siegel is releasing a new book called The Angels Among Us: How God’s Messengers Play a Role in Healing, and he spoke to the Washington Examiner about what he hopes readers will take away from it.

“God wants us to be attracted to good and escape evil, and the messengers bring us that,” Siegel told the Washington Examiner.

The Angels Among Us includes real stories of people with different religious beliefs, including President Ronald Reagan, singer Bob Dylan, Fox News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall, and Siegel himself, who either experienced or aided someone with a life-threatening medical emergency and encountered an individual or an angelic presence to help them.

Siegel said he enjoyed seeing his other Fox News book, The Miracles Among Us: How God’s Grace Plays a Role in Healing, which has sold roughly 250,000 copies according to a September Fox News press release, “come to life.” His motivation for writing The Angels Among Us stemmed from the responses he received after publishing his first book.

He explained how Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s idea of synchronicity, that “coincidences are meaningful,” helped shape the idea for his second book. He thought about how “meaningful coincidences” can “add up to miracles,” and what it is that ultimately drives miracles, which Siegel said is “the angel or messenger from God.”

Siegel shared two examples: Pastor Samuel Rodriguez’s daughter encountered what she perceived as real angels while in the hospital suffering from COVID-19, and a police officer was acting like an angel because he spent the night working on Siegel’s bike after a car hit him, according to Siegel.

“My book, as you know, is filled with actual angels like Sam Rodriguez’s daughter, Yvonne, who’s saved by the angels visiting her in the room when she’s dying of COVID,” Siegel said.

“But then there are also humans acting like angels, like that policeman,” Siegel continued.

“I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve been thinking about that policeman my entire life who took my bicycle that was broken in half in the middle of that bicycle trip and welded it all night in his garage. Why did he do that? Why did he do that?’ It enabled me to finish the bicycle trip of a lifetime and escape from the evil demon that had broken the bicycle around the border.”

Siegel said his two favorite stories were about Dylan and Reagan.

“I’m an enormous Dylan fan,” he said.

At the time he wrote his book, Siegel learned that, in 1997, Dylan visited Pope John Paul II in Rome “after recovering from a life-threatening lung infection, which almost always kills smokers.” The Washington Examiner found that they were actually in Bologna, Italy, according to the Associated Press.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger “didn’t want him to perform because he said I don’t want Christian youth to hear from some rebel rocker, but John Paul [II] overruled the future Pope. He overruled the future Pope Benedict [XVI],” Siegel said.

“At the end, Pope John Paul II said to the crowd, ‘The answer is blowing in the wind,’ … ‘How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?’ The answer Pope John Paul II said is one road, the road Jesus’s way. It’s so powerful!”

Siegel said he learned a lot about Reagan, and it was a “privilege” to bring the 40th president “back to life” in this book.

“I learned a lot about the president that I didn’t know,” Siegel said. “I’ve always been a Reagan fan.”

“I got the opportunity to interview his surgeon, the man who actually met with Nancy every day and took over his care.”

“Every detail that I learned about Reagan and his view towards the nurses, and his sense of humor, and his courage, I was absolutely blown away to be able to have the privilege through the eyes of this surgeon to bring President Reagan back to life,” he said. “[It was] really important to me.”

MARC SIEGEL’S LATEST BOOK IS PROOF ‘LIFE ITSELF IS A MAJOR MIRACLE’

Siegel told the Washington Examiner that he wants his readers to feel hopeful, to look for coincidences, and to “look for signs from God,” adding that people are not alone, and that “there are the people there and the angels there to help guide you to a positive path, and doctors can be those.”

The Angels Among Us is set to publish Tuesday, and can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Bookshop, and HarperCollins.
