Books about Angels

Angels and Devils by Joan Carroll Cruz

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: 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., etc., etc.
