CRI Resource: Lifted by Angels
Dear Hank: Believers around the world need occasional reminders that we are not alone in our spiritual pilgrimage. In fact, heaven’s boundaries overlap our own, and some have “entertained angels unaware.” To continue encouraging Christians to be mindful that we do not labor with our strength alone, for my gift, please send me the following:

Description
Lifted by Angels: The Presence and Power of Our Heavenly Guides and Guardians. In compelling and eminently readable prose, this book richly 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 so solid and concrete. If that reality is 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 Scripture, Lifted by Angels reveals:
- the role that angels play in the lives of people and in God’s plan of salvation
- the different ranks and functions of angels
- how Satan and his demons fell from grace and plagued humans
- the functions of guardian angels and how God assigns them to fit our personal needs
- how guardian angels help us resist evil, temptation, and the devil
- the ways angels join with us in our prayers, even adding their own to ours
- the service angels provide in worship
