Reviews

[Heidi Vertrees · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent Christian devotion book that is rich with Biblical insights and understandings. Each reading provides inspiration and sound guidance, beautifully written. The author, Ann Spangler, shares a Biblical understanding of angels, and in so doing guides us closer to God’s holy presence.

[Tomi Alger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each essay begins with a Scripture, followed by Biblical connection to the Scripture or a real-life connection to the given Scripture. Each essay ends with a prayer. The writings give information or encouragement about the involvement of angels in the lives of so many. Some angels have a message to relate, some aid in fighting the enemy, some just worship God. It is worthwhile read.

I was expecting it to tell more personal stories...but the majority of the chapters related scriptural accounts--which I am sure are good, just not at all what I was expecting or in the mood for. At least it was an extremely fast read (less than an hour if you skim!)

It was good, daily devotional type w/ a passage from the Bible on Angels. I was expecting more along the lines of Angel visits today, have read some books on those, good reading.
