An Angel's Story Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Spiritual beings populate the stories of Scripture. Angels singing. Demons infecting. Heavenly hosts fighting . . . Ignore the armies of God and Satan and you ignore the heart of Scripture. Ever since the snake tempted Eve in Eden, we've known: there is more to this world than meets the eye.In this classic Christmas novella, best-selling author Max Lucado imagines the spiritual conflict that surrounded the coming of Christ. Surely there was much. If Satan could pre-empt Christ in the cradle, there'd be no Christ on the cross.Journey back in time to the very throne of God ... and witness firsthand the glory, the wonder, and the battle that took place on the very first Christmas.

This story is an amazing one, the Christmas story from a completely different focus. Max Lucado is kind and wise, and it shows in this telling.To the person who said that the book tries to convert people, and that's it's religious... Yes. It's the story of the birth of Christ and the love of God. So, it does certainly have a religious focus - a Christian focus. That's the point.
I recieved this book as a Christmas gift 2 or three years ago. I read it to my daughter all the time. It is a wonderfull version of the Christmas Story through the eyes of the angel Gabriel. Absolutly perfect for young teens, though it may be a bit advanced for very young readers. (You can always read it to them!) Beautiful illustrations, wonderfully written. You don't have to save it until Christmas either, it's a perfect book to read anytime. Not very long, only takes about 10 minutes or so to read. Just fantastic, I can't say enough!
Max Lucado's AN ANGEL'S STORY captures the story of the birth of Christ Jesus with a new angle; told through the voice of the angel Gabriel. A wonderful story to read at Christmas; however, any time you want to share the story of baby Jesus with young and old alike this is a sweet version. The book is an easy read . . . you can't put it down. Max Lucado, once again, has pierced the heart of this Christian with a simple story told in a new way.
One of my favorite Christmas stories! An interpretative fiction account of Gabriel's first hand encounters on the night of Jesus birth. Great story line and strong theme of God's holiness and tender heart for His people in sending Emmanuel, Himself, to redeem His people.
My daughter's teacher read this book to her class as a Christmas tradition, and she just absolutely loved it. So She asked me to get the book for her but we've looked many places including online but couldn't find it. So I had to get the Kindle version. She has read the book to us so many times now and every time she does it, my eyes still get wet... it's just an amazing story!
For those of you who think angels are are little children with rosy cheeks and wings, this book is not for you. But if you believe in warrior angels then I highly recommend this book. I read this story to a bunch of high school students and they all loved it.
Probably my fault that I didn't pay much attention to the length of the "book". I was expecting, anticipating something similar to the "Oriel's Diary" book, which I enjoyed immensely. But this was truly a story -- a short story, at that. Think I read the whole thing in 15min
Max Lucado, like few humans before him, has the amazing ability to write as though God himself were sitting in the room, dictating the book to him. He has opened himself up to the voice of heaven, and truly hears what needs to be said and what will touch his readers hearts.This book is an incredible example of this gift. Though He tells the story of Christ's birth, one we hear every Christmas, this time it is told through the eyes of the angels.Each chapter is more moving then the last. Causing tears and shouts of joy, as the angels bring God's gift to earth, fight the armies of hell and sing over the newborn King.I recommend this book to adults and children alike. It will touch you in ways you maybe haven't been touched in awile and will remind you of what God did to bring you to himself. I am most certain it will remind you of how much He truly loves you.
