Lifted by angels is a serious look
at angels and their relationship to God and to us. The author takes passages from scripture and
from writings of our ancient fathers to explain what angels were to the early
Christians. It is sad the way our world has portrayed these beings in such a
trivial way. We have come to take them for granted, or worse, some think of
them as imaginary beings.
The book covers the nature and
origin of Angels, the fall of Lucifer and demons, watch-care over Israel
It starts a little dry, and I
confess I was irritated by some of the references. For example, he attributed one contribution
to "An anonymous fifth or sixth-century thinker". However, as I read through and envisioned
those beings in my life I was able to immerse myself in the book. I was especially comforted by the vision of
an angel taking the hand of a loved one to lead them as a "Final
Companion. It is a short read but an important look at how we are Lifted By
Angels.
I would like to read it.
