Overview

The Truth About Angels

Myths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels when we die? Are angels always hovering nearby, on guard to protect us from danger? Can we talk to them? Many of our ideas about angels come from the media, which is more interested in ratings and ticket sales than truth. It's important for Christians to understand what angels really are.

Pastor Jack Graham walks you through Scripture, revealing the truth about angels and what they offer us: encouragement, counsel, confirmation of God's will, strength, protection, wisdom, companionship, and more. Focusing on practical application, Dr. Graham separates fact from fiction and demonstrates that the main role of angels isn't to draw attention to themselves, but to point us toward Christ.

This book is yet another valuable contribution from a dear saint."—Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author of Glory Days

"This book is classic Jack Graham—great biblical teaching, wonderful stories, and terrific applications for readers."—Christine Caine, author of Undaunted and founder of The A21 Campaign
