Synopsis

What are angels—really?

For many people, the word brings to mind glowing, winged beings who nurture, guide, and protect. Some believe angels are spirit guides at our command, while others question whether they exist at all. But what does the Bible actually say?

Scripture reveals a very different picture:
A powerful, unseen realm where a relentless battle between good and evil rages day and night. Within this hidden domain, God’s angels—His warriors, messengers, and agents of His will—intervene in human affairs, guard the faithful, and carry out divine assignments with unimaginable strength.

In Encounters, long-standing myths about angels are dismantled, their true nature is revealed, and the Bible’s most compelling descriptions of these supernatural beings are brought to life.

Inside this book, you will discover:

• Firsthand stories of angelic intervention from people who lived through it
• How early church traditions unintentionally created the myth of “weak” or gentle angels
• Why the story of Joan of Arc affects modern assumptions about angelic encounters
• Answers to common questions:
– Can holy angels fall?
– Do they have wings?
– Can they read our thoughts?
• Biblical truth about calling, summoning, or attempting to communicate with angels
• The staggering power angels wield in warfare, flight, and manipulation of earthly elements
• Angels’ involvement in Old Testament judgment, Jesus’ earthly ministry, and future prophetic events
• Evidence of increased angelic activity in the modern world—and what it means for believers today

A detailed glossary is also included to clarify terms such as living creatures, thrones, virtues, theophany, and more.
