For Some Have Entertained Angels Unawares

This is a collection of many different types of true angel stories from a variety of people.  Although most of the incidents were told by adults, some children also related their encounters.  These reports took place in many different parts of the world.

When considering angels, what first comes to mind is the Bible verse, “be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares”–Hebrews 13:2.

Because of that, my expectation for this book was that people would relate experiences they had in time of need, and someone came to their rescue.  Often when turning around to thank them, they discovered their helper seemed to have disappeared into thin air.  That caused them to suddenly realize their “good Samaritan” was actually an angel in human form.   These were the type of stories I anticipated, and there were a few like that.

However, there were angel stories that went in different directions.  Some people related experiences of seeing angels in worship settings.  Others shared that the angels they saw were not in human form, but appeared without disguise.  These reports said that angelic appearances varied.  Some were gigantic, some had wings, but some did not, most of the time, the angels were male, but not always.

There were angels that God used to bring healing to people.  Other people related that God allowed them to command angels to help them.  Still others said that while they could see the angels, people with them could not.  However, some could feel the angels’ presence, or see some of the results of what they were doing.  The variety of angelic experiences seem as diverse as there are types of people.

All of these stories have definitely caused me to ponder what I believe about angels.  I certainly learned that angelic experiences can take place in a variety of ways.  Ultimately, these reports have to be held up to what the Bible says, and, of course, angels are messengers from God, and are not to be worshiped.  I would have liked a few more of the type of stories that I had expected.  This was an interesting compilation, and recommend this 4-star book to anyone wants to explore the subject of angelic encounters.
