Angels and Devils

Description

Angels and Devils
By Joan Carroll Cruz · Published by TAN Books
Overview
In an age marked by disbelief and skepticism, even many Christians have drifted from belief in angels and devils. Yet the reality of spiritual, bodiless powers is not a fringe element of the Faith, but a foundational truth taught throughout Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Creation is filled with heavenly guardians who intercede for us and guide us toward God, and with fallen spirits who seek our ruin through temptation and deception. In Angels and Devils, TAN mainstay author Joan Carroll Cruz offers a clear, faithful summary of what the Church has received and taught about these spiritual beings. She explains the traditional definitions and distinctions between the holy angels and the devils, and she brings the doctrine into practical focus for daily Christian life. Readers will find guidance on devotion to the good angels, along with prudent warnings about modern spiritual dangers, including New Age influences and occult entanglements that open the door to deception. Written with the author’s characteristic clarity and reverence, this book equips Catholics to recover a sober awareness of spiritual reality and to live with greater vigilance, confidence, and trust in God’s providence.
