I started reading this book and came across this:

HELP FROM ANGELS

A celebrated Philadelphia neurologist had gone to bed after an exceptionally tiring day. Suddenly he was awakened by someone knocking on his door. Opening it he found a little girl, poorly dressed and deeply upset. She told him her mother was very sick and asked him if he would please come with her. It was a bitterly cold, snowy night, but though he was bone tired, the doctor dressed and followed the girl.

As Reader's Digest reports the story, he found the mother desperately ill with pneumonia. After arranging for medical care, he complimented the sick woman on the intelligence and persistence of her little daughter. The woman looked at him strangely and then said, "My daughter died a month ago." She added, "Her shoes and coat are in the clothes closet there." Amazed and perplexed, the doctor went to the closet and opened the door. There hung the very coat worn by the little girl who had brought him to tend to her mother. It was warm and dry and could not possibly have been out in the wintry night.

Could the doctor have been called in the hour of desperate need by an angel who appeared as this woman's young daughter? Was this the work of God's angels on behalf of the sick woman?

This story did not sit well with me so I'm not going to continue reading it. I am surprised that Graham would even include this in his book. What do you all think?

What I have found over the years that many of the books that have been printed and sold by well known preachers and evangelist were written by publisher owned and paid writers.

Billy Graham has made many mistakes over the years and have said and done things that were not in line with scripture. In saying that, it does not mean that he was not used and still is today to share the gospel with multitudes. God has used him greatly over the years.

Even tho I can't bring myself to continue reading the book, I do agree with what you said :)

I think that story could be real. Angels are known beings. What is to say that this wasnt an angel who came down and was sent to this doctor for help? It sounds legit to me. That is my opinon at least. What book of his are you reading Carmela?? I have one of his books on the end times. I havent read it because I just havent been in a reading mood. Besides I have Perry Stone's book generational curses that I have to finish first. Then I dont know what book I will try next. I got several books on angels.

"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. " Ecclesiastes 9:5-6,

It's Angles by Billy Graham, Eddie. Problem with this child being an angel is that she had died a month earlier. . .so it really cannot be an angel or the spirit of the dead child. I believe it to be a demonic spirit impersonating the dead child to lead people away from Scripture which states clearly that the dead cannot return as spirits and interact with humans, as Frank has shown.

Amen Remnant...

I'm really 'shock' this story was in Billy Graham's writings...

Strange to me...personally....

by **Carmela** » 01 May 2011, 20:36

Yeah, it surprised me too, Jeani. So much so that I didn't read any further. When there's error right in the beginning then I don't care to go on.
