He was particularly enraptured by Angels, as are we. He made a study of them. I have to believe he got a lot of help in his research from the Angels themselves, in the form of Angelic inspiration, or possibly by a direct line.We pray they will be as kind to us,...

The Christian Gospel, warts 'n' all. It is direct, uncompromising, engaging and is written to be relevant to the everyday person.This is a story that began before time itself.

From the nine choirs of angels and the nine muses to the twelve live...

One might conclude that for all our good intentions to enter para...
