The Invisible World: Understanding Angels, Demons, and the Spiritual Realities That Surround Us by Anthony DeStefano ~ review

The Invisible World: Understanding Angels, Demons, and the Spiritual Realities That Surround UsProduct Description from Amazon.com:


Everybody has one. It’s called a "haunt detector." It’s the little alarm that goes off in our heads whenever we detect that something mysterious or supernatural has occurred. You could be sitting around relaxing one day at home, and for no special reason you start thinking about someone. Maybe you haven’t thought about this person in years. Then the phone rings; you pick it up, and amazingly, it’s that person! Many of us have experienced this phenomenon.

What is it?
Anthony DeStefano answers this compelling question in his fascinating new book, The Invisible World. No matter how little we may understand or how fleeting such moments can be, he explains the reality of the spiritual dimension that surrounds us and shows how it is immediately accessible to everyone. All aspects of the spiritual realm are discussed, including the existence of angels and demons, the whereabouts of loved ones who have passed, and even the presence and activity of God in our lives. Written to be completely consistent with traditional Christian teaching, The Invisible World will help readers embrace a certitude that makes it easier to act according to their moral beliefs, give them a greater sense of the richness of life, and show them that no amount of suffering in their life—physical, mental, or emotional—will ever be able to destroy the profound sense of inner peace that can be experienced on a daily basis.

For those seeking reassurance about meaning in their life, nothing is more significant than to be reminded that no one is alone. In The Invisible World, Anthony DeStefano shows the truth of this in a captivating and inspiring way.
 
My take on this book:
I have always been fascinated with the spiritual realm, angels and demons, those unseen beings that are all around us, and in this book the author discusses these topics in a clear concise manner that is easy to understand. While I have always believed in Angels, his ideas really enlightened me. I just sort of clumped angels together, but he reminded me  that they are as varied and unique as human beings. Each Angel has its own unique "personality" and when they were created they were given free will. They could either choose to serve God or work against him. He goes on to tell us how the Devil and demons came about, using scripture to back up what he is saying.
The book is broken down into ten chapters that include,the haunt detector, the invisible God, invisible helpers:the world of Angels, Invisible Evil: the devil and his demons, the invisible soul, invisible warfare, the diabolical battle for souls, invisible grace, the invisible power of suffering, invisible destiny:death judgment heaven and hell, and seeing the invisible.
A perfect book for anyone wanting to learn about some of lifes invisible realities. I for one will be recommending this book to a few of my friends.
