Angels by Oscar W. McConkie

Angels by Oscar W. McConkie
Do angels exist? What are they? What are their functions and purposes?  What is their ministry?  Is there rank or precedence among them?  Of what importance are they to us?
These are some of the thought-provoking questions answered by the author in this exciting book. This book is a unique publication, for it brings together under one cover major references to the subject found in ancient and latter-day scriptures and the writings of the prophets.
"Characteristic skepticism of our age has been directed against a belief in angels," the author notes.  He discusses the purposes and functions of anfels and the characteristics of such types of angels as divine messengers, translated beings, resurrected personages, seraphim and cherubim, demons, devils, and evil spirits.   Have angels ceased to minister?  Through testimonies of persons in our own day, we read that angels do exist, that they do function today, and that they do direct and guide the affairs of man in the Church.  This book casts light on the important concept of angels and their relevance to us.
