Angels: Who They Are, What They Do, and Why It Matters
Leading Baptist Pastor Teaches the Truth about
Angels
Myths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels when we die?
Are angels always hovering nearby, on guard to protect us from
danger? Can we talk to them? Many of our ideas about angels come
from the media, which is more interested in ratings and ticket
sales than truth. As Christians it's important to understand what
angels really are.
Pastor Jack Graham walks readers through Scripture, revealing the
truth about angels and their roles as worshipers of the Lord,
witnesses to his glory, and warriors fighting on his behalf.
Focusing on practical application, Dr. Graham separates fact from
fiction, encouraging you to become a better worshiper, warrior, and
witness.
Includes end-of-chapter questions. A small-group curriculum DVD
will also be available.

The Truth About Angels
Myths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels
when we die? Are angels always hovering nearby, on guard to protect
us from danger? Can we talk to them? Many of our ideas about angels
come from the media, which is more interested in ratings and ticket
sales than truth. It's important for Christians to understand what
angels really are.
Pastor Jack Graham walks you through Scripture, revealing the truth
about angels and what they offer us: encouragement, counsel,
confirmation of God's will, strength, protection, wisdom,
companionship, and more. Focusing on practical application, Dr.
Graham separates fact from fiction and demonstrates that the main
role of angels isn't to draw attention to themselves, but to point
us toward Christ.

Jack Graham (www.jackgraham.org) is pastor of Prestonwood
Baptist Church, one of the nation's largest, most dynamic
congregations.
When Dr. Graham arrived at Prestonwood in 1989, the 8,000-member
congregation responded enthusiastically to his straightforward
message and powerful preaching style. He challenged the Prestonwood
family with a vision for a larger outreach, and in 1999 the church
moved from its North Dallas location to a new 7,500-seat auditorium
in the northern suburb of Plano.
Thriving with more than 41,000 members, Prestonwood continues to
grow with six weekend worship services, about three hundred Bible
Fellowship classes for all ages, and multiple outreach and
community ministries that reach thousands. In 2006 the church added
a second location, the North Campus, in a burgeoning area about 20
miles north of Plano.
Dr. Graham served as Honorary Chairman of the 2015 National Day of
Prayer; he has served two terms as president of the Southern
Baptist Convention, the largest American Protestant denomination,
with 16 million members, and as president of the SBC Pastors'
Conference.
He is a noted author of numerous books, including Unseen,
You Can Make a Difference, Lessons from the Heart,
A Hope and a Future, Life According to Jesus, Are
You Fit for Life? Powering Up, and Courageous
Parenting, coauthored by his wife, Deb. Dr. Graham's
passionate, biblical teaching is also seen and heard across the
country and throughout the world on PowerPoint Ministries.
Through broadcasts, online sermons, and email messages, he
addresses relevant, everyday issues that are prevalent in our
culture and that strike a chord with audiences worldwide.
Dr. Graham was ordained to the gospel ministry in 1970 and has a
master of divinity degree with honors and a doctor of ministry
degree in church and proclamation from Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary.
