Some time ago, the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group asked me to review Dr. David Jeremiah's book, Angels. As a self-professed fiction lover, I wasn't sure that this title would hold much interest for me. I was right. I was wrong.
Even after decades in Sunday school and church, my knowledge of angels was surprisingly limited. The word, angel, always brings up images of cherubs. Cute, cuddly, child-like beings who made appearances at Christmas. I love cherubs, so I read the book. Working with me is so complex!
What I learned is that angels are much more than I gleaned from my Sunday school lessons. They are messengers (think Gabriel), warriors, enlighteners, comforters, servants, protectors, defender, guides. What they're decidedly not is cute, cuddly and fuzzy.
I loved Dr. Jeremiah's walk through Biblical accounts of angels. The journey he takes us on is a fascinating story of God's provision for His people.
Although the book begins slowly and perhaps ends similarly, this is a book worth a handful of hours of your time. What I gleaned that is of greatest importance to me is that God is still the author and finisher of our faith. All else pales in comparison.
WaterBrook Multnomah graciously has given me a copy of the book to give to someone else. If you are interested, please note that in a comment. If need be, I'll draw a name from the proverbial hat.
P.S. This book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
