ISBN: 9798191006987 - things into which angels long to look: a novel of angelic witness (3 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - They are never the heroes of the story - only its witnesses.Across four thousand years, from a childless man's astonished threshold in Ur to an empty tomb outside Jerusalem, three angels watch the whole of redemptive history unfold.Gabriel keeps the very Calendar of God's promises, without ever being shown the day of their final keeping.

Ralph, an ordinary guardian angel, walks beside the overlooked and the ordinary - midwives, widows, exiles, shepherds - and learns what heaven has always known about the people the world walks past.Things Into Which Angels Long to Look carries readers from Abraham's tent to Sinai's fire, from Bethlehem's manger to Gethsemane's garden, from the empty tomb to Pentecost's flame - Scripture's own sweeping history, seen for the first time from the vantage of those who minister it, watch it, and long, as Peter once wrote, simply to look into it (1 Peter 1:12).Told across forty chapters spanning Genesis through Acts, this novel weaves the 'high view' of heaven's courts and spiritual warfare with the 'ground view' of one guardian angel's unbroken thread of ministry through nearly twenty ordinary human lives - a structure inspired by the interlocking, generation-spanning storytelling of novels like Cloud Atlas, in the tradition of biblical spiritual-warfare fiction like Frank Peretti's, and drawing devotional inspiration from Roland Buck's Angels on Assignment.A novel of angelic witness, for anyone who has ever wondered what the angels saw.…
