Angels: God's Secret Agents is Billy Graham's one-volume introduction to one of the most popular spiritual phenomena of our time. Firmly grounded in Graham's close readings of scripture, Angels testifies to Graham's own encounters with the heavenly beings and also records the many similar stories that other believers have told him over the years. Graham devotes entire chapters to the questions of whether angels are visible or invisible, how they differ from men and women, and how the angelic hierarchy is organized. He also discusses the much-debated theory that UFO sightings are in fact angelic appearances. Perhaps the primary purpose of this book, however, is to inform readers that armies of angels are ready and willing to help Christians in their daily fights against the forces of darkness. "Millions of angels are at God's command and at our service," Graham writes. "The hosts of heaven stand at attention as we make our way from earth to glory, and Satan's BB guns are no match for God's heavy artillery." Such stirring theological pronouncements are matched with practical advice for believers who wish to know the angelic powers in everyday life. --Kevin Attwood

 Wonderful information from renowned Bible Scholar September 24, 2008
I have really enjoyed reading Angels. It is very informative. For example, I didn't realize there were more biblical references to angels throughout the Bible than to Satan, yet we think often of Satan more than the angels who are before us to watch over us. I think anyone interested in angels would be well served to read this Biblically-based reading for more information. The reason for 4 stars is that while I enjoy the wealth of information B Graham gives, I think his writing style suits more of a 'study-approach' to reading the book...rather than a 'curl up on the couch' kind of read. I think, though, that the information in this book is worth the effort. I would suggest anyone interested in studying angels to get their Bibles out and actually reference the scriptures he mentions. Make notes and decide for yourself if angels really exist.

This book was sent to a friend as a gift. He enjoyed it very much
Excellent Understanding of Angels September 13, 2008
When a loved one dies, we all wonder what will happen to them. Will they become angels? Will they continue to exist? Did an angel accompany him or her to heaven's gates? And do angels exist to protect our daily lives? Billy Graham has the answers in this wonderful book!
He uses biblical references to finally put an end to the speculations of the roles Angels play in our lives, including their roles in our deaths. Have you heard the stories where angels have come to take the dead to heaven? Do you want to know the truth?
Billy Graham says, "Dying patients are given so many drugs today that we do not hear as many of these stories now. But to those who face death in Christ, it is a glorious experience. The Bible guarantees every believer an escorted journey into the presence of Christ by Holy Angels."
Excellent June 12, 2008
This is probably the best book I have ever read about Angels. I strongly recommend everyone to read this book.
The book contains 15 chapters about Angels! These are not 15 chapters about Graham's thoughts on Angels, they are 15 chapters about what the Bible says about Angels. Graham adds stories and illustrations from his life and ministry to further demonstrate his point.
The book evaluates and answers questions such as:
Are they visible or invisible?
How are they different from people?
What do they do?
Are they for real?
Are they still around today?
While I cannot say for certain if I have ever seen an Angel, I believe in them because of the same reason Graham does. "I believe in angels because the Bible says there are angels; and I believe the Bible to be the true Word of God." (page 27)
Another interesting chapter was #13: Angels and Death. Believers in Christ do not need to fear death, however, it is natural for man to be afraid of the unknown. I think it is fair to say most people are a little nervous or apprehensive about death. It is comforting to know that Angels will be there to escort me to Heaven after my final breath. Those Angels that have been with me my entire life, will be there to take me to the Creator. That indeed is comforting to know.
I found this book very interesting and easy to read. This is the type of book that once you start reading, it is difficult to put down. However, you really should pause after each chapter to reflect on what Graham wrote.
Again, I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Everything you need to know about Angels June 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not ordinarily a Billy Graham reader, but in searching for information about Angels, this book kept coming up. I wanted FACTS not assumptions. I found them here.
I was comforted by the knowledge that I gained from this book. He points out Biblical facts in ways that I never looked at them before. A lot of the angel information is skimmed over, but he has really disected it and presents it in a layperson way.
I originally bought this book as a gift for a friend, but ended up purchasing an additional one for myself to have around the house in time of need.
