As usual, Kreeft brings philosophical insight. This was an interesting topic to mull over and helped direct my thoughts to the spiritual world we can’t always see. Loved the visual of these mighty creatures replacing the misnomer of angels being cute and cuddly. It’s a quick question and answer format that is easy to follow.

Fun, fun read, especially for those of us who have special friendships with angels.

I learned about what the bible and the catechesis have to say about angels. I loved the question/answer format, and Kreeft's added humor while explaining guardian angels, hierarchy, and historical perspectives on angels from different cultures. Easy read with lots of information.

Easy to read. Mostly about Angels very little about Demons (that's ok with me) I came in wanting to learn about Angels - which I did- but discovered even more about God.

A fun, quick read, that is filled with humor. I appreciate Dr. Kreeft's immense knowledge of angelology and how he used it to relate to everyday life.

Reading Peter Kreeft is always a pleasure: his enthusiasm is contagious, his love for God, his good nature and humility in spite of being a philosopher are qualities that should be expected from any writer of books (whose purpose is to get in our minds his version of things).

His book on angels is short, pithy, fun, clever as usual, informative, scholarly but not pedantic, and very entertaining. It's one of those books you read in 3 nights (around 150 pages).

You have to keep in mind that this author is Catholic and so you are going to find the Catholic perspective on certain aspects of the Christian faith. Catholic or Protestant you should agree, as is clearly demonstrated in this book, that angels are not myths, that they exist and the exist for some reason which is not meant to be any secret.

I encourage you to know more about the army of angels that God has disposed for your protection and for communicating His purpose to you, that is: if you are willing to be one of His sons or daughters.

Because we all are his creation, but we only become His children by accepting Christ, His Son, as our Lord and Savior (Savior from sin -to those PC oriented persons).

Great book about the philosophy of angels and demons. Set up in a question and answer format. Very informative. Heavily references the catechism and St. Thomas Aquinas - Summa.

While Kreeft's sass is entertaining, I feel like I didn't learn a whole lot on angels in this book. It covered a wide breadth but I was expecting more depth. Great book for anyone looking for an introduction on the topic and a fun overview on the basics of angels (and demons).

I host a weekly theology group and this was our latest read. It was excellent! We had great discussions based off the material, and even though Kreeft doesn't claim to be an expert on the topic, he still does a thoroughly good job compiling what we know about angels from Scripture, Church teaching, and saints and mystics (he says most of what he knows about angels he learned from St. Thomas Aquinas.) As usual, Kreeft's good humor is peppered throughout his hard-hitting truths.
