Book Description

March 1, 2009
This has to be the most thorough book about the Angels yet written in modern times. Here, the best-selling author Joan Carroll Cruz expounds upon the traditional definitions and delineations of the Angels, asking and answering virtually every conceivable question about them: E.g., what are they, how do we know they exist, when were they created, do they really have wings, do they know the future, do they know our thoughts, do they have names, do they have emotions, do they converse with each other, their speed, their assignments, how do we know we have Guardian Angels, are they appointed at conception or birth or Baptism, do non-Christians have Guardian Angels, etc. Then after answering all these questions (and many more!) about the Angels, the author does the same with regard to the devils.

The salient quality about this book is that the author supports her answers with scores of stories from the Saints and holy people regarding the Angels and devils, exemplifying her answers with absorbing real-life episodes.

After considering the devils, Mrs. Cruz enters a discussion on Masonry, Satanism, Witchcraft, the Occult, the New Age, Scientology, Psychics, Astrology, Tarot Cards, Crystal Balls, Reincarnation, Transcendental Meditation, Mind control, automatic writing, Ouija boards, etc.

Easy to read, Angels and Devils covers a host of topics in an absorbing and informative manner. Among the many recent books about Angels, this has to be one of the very best, if not the very best yet. And it definitely destined to be another Mrs. Cruz bestseller! Imprimatur, Illustrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough, July 1, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Angels and Devils (Paperback)
At the very least, quite a satisfactory introduction to the subject of Angels and demons. Moreover, Joan Carroll Cruz approaches this fascinating topic as one of the faithful. This makes for a refreshing change from the breathless and heretical blather put out by misguided New Agers.

The book is well written and researched. But Mrs. Cruz uses the same stories and quotes from a handful of Saints, Blesseds, priests, etc. to make different points (be prepared to read the same passages, verbatim, numerous times throughout the book). I don't think this retreading, as it were, serves her or the reader particularly well. Still, there's something to be said for Mrs. Cruz's vignette, rather than narrative, approach -- despite the redundancies, it makes for a read that is not only fast, easy, and enjoyable, but also informative.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars When God When???, January 21, 2006
This review is from: Angels and Devils (Paperback)
This book is one of the greatest Masterpieces ever written for anyone who knows (or would like to learn) that this world for now is not only difficult to navigate but almost impossible to endure without the assistance of Angelic help against powerful demonic entities. Now, I have don't have the answer to why bad things happen to good people or why God permits suffering, tragedy, and evil itself. There are tons of books on that topic right here at Amazon.com. But if you are going through a dreadful bad patch and feel like it is truly an attack that you cannot see, hear, touch except if it comes by way of the most difficult people in your life - please buy this book. Your entire outlook will change and eventually (in my opinion) you will be better able to deal with the toughest stuff out there. I just cannot help asking WHEN will we wake up and realize that there is real help that doesn't come from a pill, a movie, a cult, a new "technique" for tragedy, or even the advice from your closest friend. A friend...like the Angels in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll Hear the Angels Sing, February 8, 2007
By 
Michael Tozer (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Angels and Devils (Paperback)
During the first half of this wonderful book, you will swear that you can hear the heavenly choirs. It is that beautiful. And the second half, where Ms. Cruz deals with their demonic counterparts, is as important as the first half is lovely. This is an important and beautifully written book. Pick up a copy and emerse yourself in its simple and compelling truth. Learn of the beauty of the spirit world and the terribly important role of Holy Church. God bless.
