A fascinating and inspiring look at the role of angels in the lives of people—how they lead us to and through a saving experience of Christ.
What if heaven were much closer than we realised? What if its boundaries overlapped our own? What if angels moved in and out of our porous present, this moment that seems to us so real and concrete?
It’s all true, and if the 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.
Lifted by Angels goes back to those early Christians and presents modern readers with a vision of angels as seen through their eyes and experiences—how they understood the angelic realms, the guidance and protection of angels and the struggles with the devil and his demons.
Whether in trial or temptation, praise or prayer, we find angels present and positioned to help and comfort, guide and correct, walking with us till the point of death and beyond, escorting us to the very arms of Christ.
