Explores the relationship between people and angels, through the
eyes of the early church.
Heaven is closer than we realize. Its boundaries overlap our
own, and angels move in and out of our porous present, this moment
that seems to us so solid and concrete. If that reality seems dim
to us now, it beamed for the early Christians. Through their
writings, sermons, songs, and art, the ancient faithful confessed a
powerful and vivid belief that angels help carry us on our journey
to God.
Rooted in the Scripture and following this ancient
understanding, "Lifted by Angels" reveals: the role that angels
play in the lives of people and in God's plan of salvationthe
different ranks and functions of angelshow Satan and his demons
fell from grace and plagued humansthe functions of guardian angels
and how God assigns them to fit our personal needshow guardian
angels help us resist evil, temptation, and the devilthe way angels
join with us in our prayers, even adding their own to oursthe
service angels provide in worship
Featuring examples of angels in ancient icons and frescoes and
supported by extensive research on the early church and its
pastors, poets, theologians, and artists, "Lifted by Angels"
answers universal curiosity about angels and the unseen world,
leaving readers inspired and hopeful about the nearness of God.
