Synopsis

Discreet but ever faithful, the angels play a vital role in God's plan for our lives. Created as spiritual beings who mediate between us and God, angels serve as our constant companions, advisers, and protectors, watching over us while standing before God's throne in Heaven. In this powerful new book, Odile Haumonté carefully combines the writings of Scripture, Tradition, and the testimony of saints who met angels face-to-face to unveil for you the breathtaking facts behind these heroic heavenly beings.

Because they are living reflections of the Holy Face they contemplate, angels draw us into the mysteries of Heaven. You'll learn where angels are fully present in the Mass and liturgy and the role they play in your personal prayers.

You'll soon find yourself on an electrifying spiritual journey that opens your eyes to the role angels are playing in the specific choices you make and how you can more effectively place yourself under their protection. You'll also learn: the nine classes of angels—what they are and why they matter; the role angels play at the time of our death; how angels, who know the Word of God perfectly, help us to discover and understand it; why angels are unable to access your thoughts; why the fallen angels have no chance of redemption; how angels can assist you in times of temptation; and more.

Goodreads review by Doris on December 30, 2021

This book traced the angels from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Abraham and his three angels, Elijah and his food-carrying angel and many more characters in the Old Testament. Of course, the New Testament started with Gabriel appearing to Mary at the Annunciation, going on to Jesus being te......more

Goodreads review by Richard on January 02, 2023

This is an interesting study of angels. It places them in the context of the working of God in the salvation and sanctification of God's people. The emphasis is on holistic spirituality instead of an off-balance focus on spirit beings. This is a refreshing and devotional theology that even has its o......more

Goodreads review by John F. Weiss on February 22, 2022

This insightful work enumerates many facets of the angelic experience to an earthbound humanity. While documenting poignant saintly encounters with the angels, it also illuminates how God interacts with his creatures through both the Holy Spirit and his corps of angels. While we have some biblical a......more
