Fr Matt Anscombe, who is currently ministering in the parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Lima, Peru, has just published a new book. Following on from Don't Forget the Holy Spirit, he has written a book on angels. He says on the cover of the book:
"In this book... I want to share something of my newfound love, surprise and appreciation for these invisible entities, who are fascinated by us and desire to draw us closer to Christ, and ultimately to the fulness of glory. Through personal reflection, sacred Scripture and the teaching of the Catholic Church, I seek to ground us in a simple but sure understanding of who angels are, where they come from, who they serve and what they do."
As the flysheet states in this hardback edition:
"Angels are everywhere in popular culture - often reduced to vague 'guardian' figures filtered through crystals, tarot cards, and folklore. But what does the Catholic Church actually teach about them?
With a foreword by international Catholic speaker, teacher, and author David Wells, Fr Matt Anscombe cuts through the misconceptions to offer a rich, grounded exploration of the theology of angels. Drawing on Scripture, the teaching of the Church, and his lived experience as a parish priest, Fr Matt invites readers to rediscover who and what angels truly are as agents of God's will - and why they still matter for us in the world today.
Blending clear teaching with personal reflection, this book opens a window onto an unseen yet profoundly real world, helping readers gain a deeper, more authentic understanding of the essential role angels play in God's plan and in our daily lives."
Fr Matt's book is published by Hodder Faith in partnership with Goodnews Books. It is available online from:
