Good review; when I first saw the title, I have to admit my initial thought was, "Oh NO!" But it sounds very interesting.

ANGELS by Dr. David Jeremiah discusses: Who They Are, and How They Help, and What the Bible Reveals. I think Dr. Bruck Wilkinson summed up the book pretty well when he said, “…this book reflects a theologian’s concern, a pastor’s heart, and a biblicist’s accuracy.”
Dr. David Jeremiah states, “…the only sufficient aim in a study of angels: that you might draw closer to God. If you study angels and the result is anything less – if you build up only a file of information about angels or a fascination with them or even a supposed relationship with one, but haven’t encountered at least a tug toward humble submission to the Almight God… you’ve totally missed what angels are all about.”
In ANGELS, Dr. David Jeremiah covers many aspects of angels from what they are, when they appear, and what in the world they are doing to the relationship of angels to God and us. He covers the greatest angel and other angels mentioned in the bible as well as Hell’s angels. There are chapters which delve into a study of angels showing us how to worship and work.
Rooted in scripture, this book is a great resource on the study of angels which I found very thorough and thoughtful without getting bogged down in the details. With every chapter, I found myself looking forward to the material which would be presented in the next. ANGELS serves well as a stand alone read afterwhich I found myself with a more broad overview of and some new understandings on the subject of angels yet it also contains a significant amount of material which would be the great basis for a more in-depth study at a later date.
PUBLISHER’S REVIEW:
What are angels? What is their role in God’s plan? Are they present? Do they appear? Do they give us personal insight about our work, our worship?
Many contemporary beliefs about angels are based on misconception and myth. Dr. David Jeremiah uses scripture to unveil the remarkable truth about these agents of heaven, and their role and work in our world—and lives.
More than 60,000 units of this powerful book have sold in two past editions. This repackage of the original 1996 paperback will surely capture the attention of readers of all ages who seek a broad and thorough survey of scripture that clearly separates fact from fiction as it relates to angels. The book will appeal to the thousands who follow Dr. Jeremiah’s books, and radio and TV broadcasts.
Relevant, little known biblical facts help readers sharpen their knowledge and sensitivities toward the spiritual reality of angels. Dr. Jeremiah’s enlightening findings are supported with illustrations and insights from Billy Graham, Corrie ten Boom, C.S. Lewis, and more.
