Blog Tour Review
WaterBrook Multnomah Publishers
Dr. David Jeremiah's new book, Angels is making the Blog Tour rounds this week, and I'm pleased to share a review here.
Do you believe in angels? Even those who don't profess to be Bible believing, born again Christians say that they do. It seems there's always an angel story circulating online or a sighting or a report of an angelic encounter. How do we discern the real deal?
Dr.Jeremiah takes the reader on a journey through scripture that documents the Biblical accounts of who angels are and why they exist. You might call this the A to Z guide on angels, for he shares details about their divine purpose, where they came from, and what we can learn from them. This is of particular importance, he says, in light of the increased demonic activity in this generation.
Using the Bible as a guide, he points out how the purpose of a study of angels is to draw us closer to God. He encourages us to test stories about angels to see if they glorify God in the right way, and help bring salvation. Highlighted also are the attributes of angels; which gives us an example of how to worship and honor Him.
What about the fallen angels? What is their place in God's plan? Knowing the enemy's traits and tactics is important, Jeremiah says, to avoid being deceived by Angels of Light. I like how he covers this area, too, for I think we need to be equipped in this way for the big and little challenges that come our way.
Did you know that the word angel means messenger? We also learn that angels impart strength, guidance, and deliverance for God's people. Now that's something to rejoice about!
Whether you agree or disagree with Dr. Jeremiah's stance on the subject, his well documented research is worthy of consideration. I plan on hanging on to this book and reading it again.

I definitely see angels as messengers in our lives. Angels come in many forms - people God has placed in our lives to deliver certain messages and guidance.

I am a follower, and I DO believe in angels. We had one put butter in our fridge once when our kids were little and we were completely out of butter. I really should write a story about it.
Jeanette,
ReplyDeleteYes, you should write that story!
I added your name. Thanks for coming by.

Dear Karen,
ReplyDeleteI guess I started following your blog just in time!
I love angels, and have a couple of amazing stories of their protection. I'd love to read more about them.

It's a fascinating subject; one I'm sure David Jeremiah will treat with his usual studied approach. I love that guy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

P.S. I'm opting out of the give-away since I work for a sizeable church, and often we get advance copies of books. I'll let someone else "win" :)

Hi Karen -
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book. I think Billy Graham wrote a book on the subject years ago.

Hi Karen! My, you are a much more prolific blogger than I am. I'd love to read this book on angels since if it is by David jeremiah I'm sure it will be very biblically based, so sign me up at crmcc (at) setel (dot) com

Karen, I'm constantly praying for the presence of angels, especially while I teach my sixteen-year-old how to drive. "Please, Lord, put Angels inside, outside, in front, in back, on either side of this vehicle to protect us and all around. Amen."
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious, would Jeremiah think me nuts or is there some hope in these prayers after all?
Would love to be entered, and I am a follower of your wonderful blog, Karen.

Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea. Psalm 91 talks about giving 'His angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways". Driving lessons qualify in my opinion! I confess that all the time, even though my kids have been driving for years:)
I added your name to the list.
