Two Rules For Life In Mark 12:29 to 31 Jesus said, "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." God's laws are not tough. They can be reduced to two simple rules for life: LOVE GOD AND LOVE OTHERS When you are uncertain about what to do, ask yourself which course of action best demonstrates your love for God and your love for others.

Milton's Paradise Lost, the most eloquent, most intellectually daring, most learned, and most sublime poem in the English language, is a poem about angels. It is told by and of angels; it relies upon their conflicts, communications, and miscommunications. They are the creatures of Milton's narrative, through which he sets the Fall of humankind against a cosmic background. Milton's angels are real beings, and the stories he tells about them rely on his understanding of what they were and how they acted. While he was unique in the sublimity of his imaginative rendering of angels, he was not alone in writing about them. Several early-modern English poets wrote epics that explore the actions of and grounds of knowledge about angels. Angels were intimately linked to theories of representation, and theology could be a creative force. Natural philosophers and theologians too found it interesting or necessary to explore angel doctrine. Angels did not disappear in Reformation theology: though centuries of Catholic traditions were stripped away, Protestants used them in inventive ways, adapting tradition to new doctrines and to shifting perceptions of the world. Angels continued to inhabit all kinds of writing, and shape the experience and understanding of the world. Milton's Angels: The Early-Modern Imagination explores the fate of angels in Reformation Britain, and shows how and why Paradise Lost is a poem about angels that is both shockingly literal and sublimely imaginative.

Angelic Mysteries is a systematic rationale, which sets the record straight about angels and their existence. Dr. Ricky Roberts brings academic analysis to the text of the Scriptures and divides truth from myth, fact from fiction, and information from misinformation. The degeneration of monotheism and the acceptance of other philosophical genres has lead to a disintegration of understanding of the mysteries of God's angelic forces. Using the Word of God as the final arbiter, Dr. Roberts systematically reexamines the role of angels in the Bible from the first appearance of the Cherubim in Genesis 3. The truth contained in Angelic Mysteries therefore becomes the standard by which other writings must be measured. Angelic Mysteries teaches the truth about: *The orders of God's angels *The nature of angels *The works of angels *Common facts about angels About the author: Dr. Ricky Roberts was completely and instantaneously healed in 1977 of severe learning difficulties that had plagued him since birth.

Angels are all around us. They are not fairy-tale creatures or New Age sprites but powerful beings created by God to reflect his light. And while we often are not aware of them, the angels are deeply interested in us. In Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle, moral theologian, author, and speaker Msgr. Brian Bransfield teaches us how to recognize the angels present in our lives. Drawing on Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Msgr. Bransfield shows how the angels — the good angels who serve God and the evil angels who fell with Lucifer — influence us in powerful ways. The evil angels are insidious as they seek to lure us into sin and away from God. The good and holy angels help us combat the wiles of the demons and accompany us on our mission of sharing Christ with the world. They serve as God’s humble yet powerful messengers and our guardians in the wilderness of this life, strengthening us against temptation. Ultimately, they lead us to the glory of the Resurrection so that we might share the victory of Jesus over sin and death.
