Insightful study on angels has powerful lessons

Angels by Dr. David Jeremiah is an indepth study on the truth behind these mysterious messengers of God. The worship of angels has been going on for millenia, Paul wrote about the dangers of it in his epistles. Now there are books and groups teaching about angels who help their people find good parking spots or great deals at the mall. That is nothing like the angels portrayed in the Bible, and the author does his best to put aside the myths and focus on what we know from Scripture. There is much to be gleaned from these writings: they are messengers and warriors, they are sexless and ageless, and we can learn much from them. They live to worship and obey the Lord. I do wish that Dr. Jeremiah had included more anecdotes about angels today. The few stories were fascinating and did much to hook the reader, but they taper off quickly in the book and would have been powerful examples to demonstrate each point the author wanted to make. This book sets to rest many of the myths about angels and will encourage readers to keep their worship where it belongs: on God.
