However, this book was disappointing. Graham indicates that he
While I was hoping for an in depth look at Angelic connections in the scriptures, that was very shallow, instead we got a few shallow scripture references, a whole lot of anecdotes, and each chapter ending annoyingly with a request to accept Jesus as your savior. This may have been exactly what the 1970s needed, especially in the environment Graham speaks of, but for a converted Christian it didn't give me a deeper faith than I had had, nor did I feel it added to my tool box of evangelization.
He essentially considers what we can know about angels from the Bible; and it's a surprisingly large amount. He describes what is known about angels and their hierarchies, and talks about those few who are mentioned by name in Scripture. He also tells many anecdotes about angels in more recent times; not just individual visitations, but times when people who had no reason to believe in anything beyond the material world were nonetheless stopped from doing something terrible, or guided in ways that really can't be explained any other way.
The writing is good, if a bit dry in places, and the anecdotes as a whole make up a very good case for angels being all around us constantly, quite apart from what is said in the Bible.
Quite thought-provoking; a useful volume for anyone wanting to know more about angels. Three and a half stars might be fairer.
