Reading, Writing & Pondering

  I have always enjoyed Angel stories so I was excited to read Entertaining Angels by Anne Neilson. This book is beautifully illustrated with Neilson's angel paintings. There is a ribbon bookmark and the book would make a lovely gift book. Entertaining Angels starts out with a forward written by Roma Downey who played the angel, Monica, in the hit series Touched by An Angel when it was on television from 1994-2003.

In This Season of Angels: Angelic Assignments During this Prophetic Season , Stone explore the significance of angels and their connection to major prophetic seasons. This Season of Angels is full of great information about angels. In each chapter, Stone relies on Scripture to back up the information that he shares. I liked that I could go and look up the verses that he was talking about. Stone also shares a lot of interesting stories and personal experiences with angels. Some of my favorite chapters include: The Angel Who Ministers Healing to the Sick, Angels Assigned to Protect Children, Angels Who Are Chasing After Our Unsaved Family Members, Angels Battling Demons in Your Home, and the Appendix where Stone answers 21 Unusual and Controversial Questions About Angels. I did know some of the information that Stone shared in This Season of Angels but it was goo...
