== Works ==
Lets be honest with ourselves, we all have at least two of her books. If we bought them new, from a library sale, or scribbled in them is irrelevant. We all have a couple.
== Responses and Controversy ==
Christian evangelist John Ankerberg criticized Guiley's understanding of intuition (as she described it in Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience – "intuition invariably proves to be right"), saying that with beliefs like those, rational thinking and spiritual discernment are often discarded. He also interprets from her book Angels of Mercy that she and other New Age writers of angel literature are unwittingly relating to fallen angels/demons. In Angels of Mercy Ankerberg criticizes Guiley's assertion that "angels" should be trusted unconditionally without the fear-based belief that they might be demons, saying that it is irrational and that he believes demons are indeed impersonating angels.
Beginning in the mid 2000s it was noticed that she had begun to cite herself, or else used circular citations (one book citing a second that in turn cited the first) in several of her Encyclopedias, and many of the entries had no source at all. This led to accusations of fraud and/or lazy scholarship. Further research into many of her one line entries led many Folklorists and Researchers to completely disregard her works wholesale as it was discovered she was including one-off spellings and typos as separate listings.
