I found this book lying around my messy house. I’m off from work next week and I have a little more time to read. I believe somebody gave this to me as a gift awhile ago. I enjoy reading “true” stories about angels. These short vignettes were very entertaining, however, as I read them, I wondered if all of the stories were really “true” or if they were merely urban legends? Now, don’t start throwing stones at me because I’m just saying how I feel! I do believe in angels, I know that we’re not supposed to worship them, we’re only supposed to worship the Lord Jesus. But, I did wonder about the stories. I noticed that some of the stories did have references with a first and last name. One story even referenced a Christian radio station. I emailed this Christian radio station to see if this story was really true, or, if it was just a legend. I didn’t see the story listed on the radio station’s website, and I’m not sure if they’ll respond.
I recommend this book if you want a good, quick, entertaining, thought-provoking read about the power of God’s messengers. I briefly blogged about angels here, back in 2008.
Have you ever had an encounter with an angel? If so, what happened? What made you believe that this being was an angel?
