Lesslie, M.D. Angels in the ER and Angels on Call will forever change your idea of the people in an urgent care center, revealing many nurses, doctors, patients, and friends to be angels in their own right. Not the celestial messengers sent from God, but Christ-like good Samaritans who work through Him to comfort and heals.

Lesslie, it’s foundation for engrossing true stories of angels who happen to be his fellow doctors, nurses, friends, and sometimes strangers. You’ll find some are mysterious or unseen, but all are clearly doing God’s work. An older couple beginning a trip to Myrtle Beach meets a detour and goes on a new and totally unexpected journey.
