Book Review: Angels

Angels by Dr. David Jeremiah Angels
by Dr. David Jeremiah

(Note: This is a guest post by Angela Sanders. See below for your chance to get a free copy of Angels. This book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.)

Dr. David Jeremiah, to many of us, is a well known and trusted man of God. He has written over 20 books on various topics that point to the same direction, God, which, in my opinion, is precisely where our focus should be.

Angels may be his newest book, but isn’t his first piece on the subject. He also wrote The Truth about Angels in 1996, and What the Bible Says about Angels in 1997.

Dr. Jeremiah really puts into perspective who angels are and what they are not. He is very thorough in his studies, and not only  sticks to biblical facts in this angelogical piece, but shares freely the hard work and words from other respected and educated scholars. He is friendly, but firm with us in correcting any misunderstandings and frills we may have on this somewhat recently controversial subject.

In his book, Angels, Dr. Jeremiah answers questions like:

  • What are angels?
  • Who do they serve, us or God?
  • What do they look like, and can WE see them?
  • Are they still at work today?

I have a strong Christian background, so when I began reading this book, I wasn’t learning anything new at first. However, as I kept reading, I learned what the Bible says about these mysterious and celestial agents, and gained a significant understanding about them.

If you’re an angel collector, I highly recommend reading Angels. If you don’t know that much about angels, I highly recommend “enlightening” yourself.

How secure is salvation? Part 3

December 2, 2009

People frequently ask me if I think that a person (usually a friend or relative who has turned away from God) can lose his or her salvation. In this series of posts, I am responding to this question by studying what the Scriptures say on this extremely important subject.
In my last post, I listed some [...]

Thanks!

November 25, 2009

I have tried to make it a habit to say “thanks” or “thank you” at the end of most conversations. The downside to a habit is that it’s a habit – that is, you can do it without thinking about it.
There are times when that is true of my “thanks”. I’ve said it so often [...]

Now I know my ABC’s

November 20, 2009

“Now I know my ABC’s,
Next time won’t you sing with me?”
Is there anything more basic than the alphabet? We begin singing this little song with our children very early so they actually do “know their ABC’s” (preferably before everyone else’s kids!).
But the ABC’s have come to mean more than just a set of 26 consonants and [...]

How secure is salvation? Part 2

November 17, 2009

One of the most important discussions I have with people has to do with the concern about their salvation. Many people believe that they can lose salvation, or have it taken away, depending on how they live, what sins they may commit, or what good things they never do.
In this post, I’d like simply to [...]
