How to Read the Angels Everywhere Series

If you want to experience the heavenly interventions of Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, the best way to read the series is in publication order. While each book features standalone, episodic holiday stories, the background relationships, angelic rules, and the role of Archangel Gabriel evolve slightly over time.

Angels Everywhere: The Complete Book List

The core series spans seven novels published between 1993 and 2012. Here is the recommended reading order:

  1. A Season of Angels (1993): The trio is sent to answer the holiday prayers of three very different women.
  2. The Trouble with Angels (1994): Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy visit Los Angeles to bring hope and love to two lonely people.
  3. Touched by Angels (1995): The angels arrive in New York City to help a mother and daughter who need a true Christmas miracle.
  4. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy (1999): The mischievous angels intervene in the life of a young man who has lost his faith and direction.
  5. Those Christmas Angels (2003): The trio helps a bitter businessman and his mother rediscover the warmth of the season.
  6. Where Angels Go (2007): The angels assist an elderly man in reconciling his family before it is too late.
  7. Angels at the Table (2012): In the final core installment, the angels help a young culinary apprentice and a restaurant critic find love in New York.

The Mrs. Miracle Crossover Connection

Fans of Debbie Macomber's celestial matchmakers received a special treat in A Mrs. Miracle Christmas (2019). Responding to years of reader requests, Macomber brought her two most popular angelic forces together. In this book, the beloved Emily Merkle (Mrs. Miracle) is joined by Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy to help a family navigate grief and find joy during the holiday season.

Can These Books Be Read Standalone?

Absolutely. Because each book wraps up its primary romantic and emotional subplots by the final page, you can easily pick up any book that catches your eye. However, starting with A Season of Angels will give you the best introduction to the distinct, quirky personalities of the three main angels.
