ANGELS AND SAINTS A Biblical Guide to Friendship with God’s Holy Ones by SCOTT HAHN

Description Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively book, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly church as a "great cloud of witnesses." He tells the stories of several saints and angels in a way that’s fresh and new. In this telling of their story, the saints are neither otherworldly nor this-worldly. They exemplify the integrated life that every Christian is called to live. Only saints will live in heaven. We need to be more like the saints if we want to live in heaven someday. Dr. Hahn shows us that our heavenly life can begin now. Hardcover.
