Angels are all around us. They are not fairy-tale creatures or New Age sprites but powerful beings created by God to reflect his light. And while we often are not aware of them, the angels are deeply interested in us. In Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle, moral theologian, author, and speaker Msgr. Brian Bransfield teaches us how to recognize the angels present in our lives. Drawing on Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Msgr. Bransfield shows how the angels -- the good angels who serve God and the evil angels who fell with Lucifer -- influence us in powerful ways. The evil angels are insidious as they seek to lure us into sin and away from God. The good and holy angels help us combat the wiles of the demons and accompany us on our mission of sharing Christ with the world. They serve as God's humble yet powerful messengers and our guardians in the wilderness of this life, strengthening us against temptation. Ultimately, they lead us to the glory of the Resurrection so that we might share the victory of Jesus over sin and death. "Msgr. Bransfield has masterly woven together the richness that Scripture and Tradition have revealed about angels. Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle is both an enjoyable and scholarly presentation that will awaken the reader to the presence of our amazing companions. It will arouse in you a deep desire to personally collaborate with them in their mission to reveal the glory of God and draw you into alignment with God's provision for your life. This book has enriched my life as it will yours." -- Neal Lozano, author of Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance and Resisting the Devil: A Catholic Perspective on Deliverance "This book contains years of reading, reflection, and synthesis on a topic that most of us only hear about from Hollywood. Msgr. Bransfield has taken rich, sound theology and expresses it in beautiful images and simple concepts with practical application to our daily life. If you can only read one book on angels, pick this one. And then allow the various trails that Msgr. Bransfield opens up with footnotes and references to lead you deeper into this beautiful and important topic for our spiritual lives." -- Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, Saint Vincent Archabbey, coauthor of Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father's Love"Thanks be to God for this journey into the Scriptural reality of the power of the angels to protect us against evil!
