Angels: Agents of Light, Love, and Power

Angels: Agents of Light, Love, and Power 
by Donald W. Parry Deseret Book, 2013. 260 pgs. Non-fiction.

If you have ever had a question about the nature of angels and how they interact with people living on the earth, this book has done all of that research for you. From a doctrinal perspective of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Donald W. Parry presents a comprehensive compilation of scriptural references to angels as well as references from early Church history and statements by modern prophets of said church. Each short chapter covers a specific aspect or sub-topic of the subject in a clear and concise manner.

While somewhat dry, since it mostly presents information with little commentary from the author, I found this book to be fascinating. It is thoroughly researched, well organized, and quite insightful. I definitely walked away with a deeper understanding of the topic. I would highly recommend this as a first stop for anyone interested in learning more about angels.
