During its runtime, the CBS television drama, “Touched By An Angel,” amassed nearly 18 million viewers. You might remember this popular show, starring Roma Downey and Della Reese. The story surrounds Monica (Roma Downey), who is a new angel sent by God to deliver messages, as she is coached by her supervisor, an angel named Tess (Della Reese). Each of the more than two hundred episodes tells the story of men and women who encounter angels during crossroads in their lives.
The show’s popularity would suggest that audiences are hungering for encounters with God. We love stories that involve everyday people experiencing the supernatural, and we love seeing how those experiences change characters’ lives.
