I have received this book free for review from the publisher, but have received no other compensation.
This is a reprint of David Jeremiah's book that originally was written in the 80s, the height of the angel-craze (which I didn't know until I read this book). It still has a lot to say to this I'm-not-religious-just-spiritual culture which has more flavors of religious beliefs than ice cream.
David Jeremiah highlights the mysteriousness that the Bible casts over angels. Sure, it talks about them, but they're never objects of worship. They're messengers from God...doing His Will. He picks apart the common ideas of angels: that they have wings and halos, that we have guardian angels, and that people become angels after we die. It's really sad how common these ideas are within the church, not to mention outside it. Certainly highlights our Biblical illiteracy.
Dr. Jeremiah also emphasizes what we can learn from the angels: to be obedient to God and to worship Him continually.
If angels are something you're interested in, I'd recommend checking out this book. To help you out, I have a giveaway copy available. Simply leave a comment on this post before 5 PM on Friday, February 12th.
