Jack Graham (1) (1950–)

Angels : Who They Are, What They Do, and Why It Matters by Jack Graham is an interesting book on the topic of Angels. I always loved the TV show - Touched By An Angel starring Roma Downey, which showed guardian angels always helping people. Roma Downey writes a beautiful forward to this book as well.

The author uses scripture as well as true life stories to explain Angels and who they are and what their purpose is in this book. Broken up in four parts,
1. The Wisdom of Angels as You Start the Journey
2. The Protection of Angels as You Sustain Life's Blows
3. The Encouragement of Angels as You Soar on Eagle's Wings
4. The Presence of Angels as You Stay the Course With Christ

No we shouldn't idolize them, but LEARN from them. As they watch over us, protect us, and teach us to worship God! I loved this book and highly recommend it to others who also would like to learn more about Angels.

I have never read a book on Angels quite like this. Very different, not your typical book on "angels". At first I thought it wouldn't mention anything on angels, but how Jack Graham does it, is weaves Biblical stories of people in the Bible who encountered angel activity and explains the whys, and hows, and has discipleship lessons of how to live in obedience to God and experience this activity for yourself, lots of practical applications. An encouraging, awesome read. It tells of the different situations characters in the Bible were in and shows how God responds with His Angelic help. It interweaves in the Character of God, and how He loves us and works in peoples lives. This book is based on the Word of God and includes plenty of Scripture references to back up his teaching. It also includes beautiful stories of modern day people who have had supernatural encounters with angels..

Getting through this book wasn't as easy as I thought. There are certain books that you're able to read non-stop and that are hard to put down. That wasn't the case with this book. Although the book was well written in the sense that it was clear to understand, I felt that it failed to capture the interest of the reader. It is my personal opinion that the book is more like a biography, which is most likely the reason why I wasn't particularly crazy about the book. This however is my own opinion so it is recommended that anyone interested in the book reads it to decide for themselves whether they like it or not.… (altro)
