Sinopse

A True Story of Art, Angels and MiraclesWhen Reverends Keith and his wife Francesca Richardson opened their angel themed gift store, Things From Heaven, in 1995 they had only $5,000 in working capital, everyone thought they would fail. Against all odds their store flourished and became the world?s most important art gallery for internationally famous angel artist Andy Lakey. Keith and Francesca were even more surprised when they found that Lakey?s art opened their customers spiritually and allowed them to receive miraculous healings and messages from deceased loved ones on the other side. Doorways to Heaven recounts the Richardson?s amazing journey of opening their improbable angel themed gift store (which has now been in business for over fifteen years). It also describes the medical miracles and spiritual communications they and others have experienced when they touch and pray with Andy Lakey?s art.Andy Lakey is the world?s most famous angel artist.
