Book Synopsis A Book of Angels by : Marigold Hunt

Book excerpt:

Angel stories from the Bible — for kids

Modern believers may be tempted to look upon angels as one of the more fanciful elements of Scripture, but this illuminating and entertaining collection of angel stories from the Bible shows that there are just too many angels for them to be metaphorical, allegorical, or unimportant.

So that children will come to know and learn to revere angels, Marigold Hunt explains what angels are (and are not!) and gathers here in one volume most of the stories of angels in the Bible, including exciting tales of:

The fallen angels, beginning with the devil himself, tempting Adam and Eve

The angel who barred the gates of Eden so Adam and Eve could never enter again

The angels who announced that Sara, Abraham’s aged wife, would have a baby

The angels who tried to save Lot from destruction with the city of Sodom

The angel who stayed Abraham’s hand as he was about to sacrifice his son Isaac

The angels in Jacob’s dream who climbed the stairway to Heaven

The angels who saved Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago from the fiery furnace

The angel Raphael, who shielded Tobias from death, and protected his wife Sara

The angels at the Ascension who chided the apostles for staring at the sky

The angel Gabriel, who foretold the birth of Jesus and John the Baptist

The choirs of angels who sang above Bethlehem when Jesus was born

The angel who carried food to Daniel when he was imprisoned in the lion’s den
