Description
No historical occurrence is more fascinating than the sudden appearance of Angels in the Advent of Jesus. After centuries of silence, it was a world changing occurrence for Angels to speak once more bringing shocking messages from God to a surprising number of people of diverse ages, religions, and nationalities. These Angelic Visitations would forever impact our lives and world in ways we still do not fully grasp. Many are still asking today: "What does it all mean? What life changing secrets did they reveal?" "Following The Angel Trail," not only explores answers, but takes us on an unforgettable trip to the people & times of the 1st century for a unique historical & spiritual engagement. The authors, Pastor Arnie Johnson & Rev. Dr. Mary Johnson, invite us on a carefully researched journey through time to experience, see, and hear viewpoints of Gabriel, Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, Wise Men, Zechariah, Prophets, Shepherds, Simeon, Anna, & many others who encountered Angels. The authors share pioneering historical research & vast Biblical knowledge in a compelling book you will not want to put down. Although written like a detective novel in order to fully convey the truth of this pivotal time, this beautifully illustrated book strives to be historically accurate as possible. "Following The Angel Trail" can be enjoyed as a fascinating and compelling non-fiction historical novel by simply reading through the chapters. Yet it is also a great bargain offering 2 books in one, by using the superb Study Guide included in the rear. This book is highly recommended as an excellent Advent/Epiphany Bible Study for individuals or groups. Yet it can also be used as a secular Educational Study or Book Discussion guide for groups or individuals.

As we relax and read through the pages, Bible times come vibrantly alive and help us experience the reality and impact of the Advent, birth, flight, escape from Herod, and childhood of Jesus as if actually there. Those who read this dynamic book need to be prepared to enter into and experience the often surprising reality of the days when Jesus walked the earth. Throughout you are invited to visit with Joseph, Mary, Elizabeth, Zechariah, Anna, Simeon, Wise Men, Shepherds, Angels, the Innkeeper, Herod, John The Baptist, Jesus, Gabriel, & many others involved in the Advent and Epiphany of Christ. This is the book you have been seeking if you have ever wondered what these people, and many others including Jesus' own extensive family, truly thought and felt. Find answers to such questions as: "What was their life really like? What would they tell us today if we could talk and visit awhile?" This book is designed to lead you on an incredibly realistic journey to reveal the world and times of the first century. For if we are to truly hear and receive the rich wisdom and treasures these heroes of the faith can still share with us today, we need to find ways to take Saints of old out of pages that have often become stale and dead in their familiarity. For we all need to strive to see the heroes of early Christianity in their full human reality while firmly anchored to their own historical time and context. Although we can never know completely all they said and did, we can know with a great degree of confidence what their challenging lives and world were really like and what they most likely felt, said, and thought in the pivotal times they lived in when angelic multitudes walked this earth.
