Description
Angels are everywhere in popular culture - often reduced to vague 'guardian' figures filtered through crystals, tarot cards, and folklore. But what does the Catholic Church actually teach about them?
With a foreword by international Catholic speaker, teacher, and author David Wells, Fr Matt Anscombe cuts through the misconceptions to offer a rich, grounded exploration of the theology of angels. Drawing on Scripture, the teaching of the Church, and his lived experience as a parish priest, Fr Matt invites readers to rediscover who and what angels truly are as agents of God's will - and why they still matter for us in the world today.
Blending clear teaching with personal reflection, this book opens a window onto an unseen yet profoundly real world, helping readers gain a deeper, more authentic understanding of the essential role angels play in God's plan and in our daily lives.
