Most of us have had the experience of reading a book that changes our lives. We Shall Judge Angels by Rev. Harold Chadwick is a wonderful book that will alter your life and cause you to get down on your knees and acknowledge the sovereignty of God in your life.

Rev. Chadwick is a professional writer and the founder of Omega Faith Ministries in Amelia, Ohio, a ministry dedicated to the study of the Bible.

Rev. Chadwick answers that all-important question that I have placed at the top of my list of questions to ask God when I get to heaven — namely, "why did you create the human race?"

Was God lonely? — I think not! Was he bored? — I doubt it! Were we simply created for His good pleasure? — sort of. But it goes much deeper than that. In the words of the author himself, "Now having approached the beginning of my final years, I find my thoughts dwelling more each day on God's purpose for creation and Christianity.

"There grows within me a dread of reaching eternity and looking back into time and realizing that I never really understood what it was all about. And not having understood, never having truly entered into God's plan and purpose for all that He has done. If that were so, much of life would have been a great waste.

Haven't you ever wondered how Lucifer and possibly as many as 50 million Angels could imagine in their minds that they could overthrow God? It is a concept that we cannot fully understand. However, Rev. Chadwick suggests some interesting, if not provocative, conclusions.

He explores the "fallen angels — sons of God" concept at some great length and offers some insight into the reasons God chose to wait to punish these angels for their sin.

He explores the testing of Job and provides some interesting insight into the message God was really trying to impress upon each of us. And, of course, he reaches that final conclusion — that we shall judge angels — though "judging angels" may be somewhat different that we have concluded in our own minds. I must admit his theory made me stop and think for a while.

"We Shall Judge Angels" will challenge you to explore the deep things of God, and to understand the mysteries of creation and eternity. If you read only one book this year — I recommend that this be the one. If you're looking for that special book to give to your agnostic or atheist friend — an intelligent, well-written argument for the existence of God, then you need to look no further.
