I really appreciated Scot McKnight's book, The Hum of Angels: Listening for the Messengers of God Around us. This is a grat resource book, which will be used often by me. There is such a fascination with angels, and most people do not know if angels are real or not, and McKnight answers this question on biblical grounds, saying, "Yes, they are real!"
The book is in four parts, with 23 chapters in the book, each averaging about 8 pages each. So, it's an easy to read book, which I believe can be used as a devotion as well.
The 4 parts are as follows ~
1. In Defense
of Angels
2. God's Loving Presence In Angels
3. God's Loving Advocacy From Angels, and
4. God's Loving Transformation Through Angels
My greatest appreciation is that McKnight moves through scripture to prove the reality of angels. At one point he explained if we don't believe in angels, they how can we believe in the Bible, since the Bible declares angels are real.
He used a great deal of scripture which was very helpful and helped his argument. Overall, this was an easy to read and excellent book.
I received this book from www.bloggingforbooks.com in exchange for an honest review.
