Do our relationships with animals bring us closer to God?

Angels are God’s messengers and His spirit army, and they are very numerous. Make no mistake, angels do exist! They exist to serve “those who will inherit salvation”. But because they are invisible, we tend to forget their role in carrying out God’s purpose and plan. Many angels have been given the duty of serving our needs, and their responsibilities and assignments may change with circumstances.

God is running the world; everything in it is under His command. He sustains the world by His energy so that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without His decree. And He continually works by angels. The cosmos is heavily populated with myriads of angelic beings who do His commands and hearken to His words. John Milton wrote, "Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen, both when we wake and when we sleep: all these ceaselessly praise His works both day and night." In the troubled times in which we live, we must rely upon the inner strength that comes through the supernatural. Angels exist because God created them as His eternal servants. There are angels in our very midst, however some have fallen from their first estate and are estranged from God. These fallen angels have become enemies of God and all humanity. Their sole purpose is to blind us to the truth of God's love, grace, and mercy. But all those who accept and believe the truth of God and have fellowship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, have divine protection, provision, and power from these heavenly messengers.

Beautifully designed and featuring stunning photographs, this moving book will appeal to Christians of all denominations and colors who seek a deeper understanding of the meaning and the glories of their faith. This is a tribute to the people who awakened the author's personal faith.

A messenger's duty is to care for and protect the god they've been assigned to. In order to complete these tasks, such messengers require wings. Shin, however, can't fly. His tiny, useless wings make him the target of ridicule and scorn among the other messengers and have kept him from being able to serve a god... until now. Determined to prove himself as a capable messenger despite his flightlessness, Shin accepts his assignment to a mysterious being on one of the nearby mountains. At first, it seems an easy task to keep his charge safe and happy — especially when the deity in question is just a cute, fluffy ball of fur. But things aren't always what they seem. Recently, messengers flying over the strange god's mountain have been disappearing. Even as suspicion mounts against his deity, Shin just can't bring himself to think that such a gentle god could have a dark side. It's strange, but for some reason... the mysterious, fluffy being feels so familiar to him.
