A recent study found that 57 percent of Catholics, 66 percent of Evangelical Protestants, and 10 percent of Jews have reported having a personal experience with a guardian angel. And 20 percent of those who identified themselves as having no religion also claimed having encountered an angel. Seeing Angels is one of the most in depth examinations of angelic ministry by one of the cutting-edge … the cutting-edge charismatic leaders in the church today. Joshua Mills goes beyond the usual takes on angels regarding spiritual warfare and explores who they are, how to recognize them, and what they do.
- Part I, Understanding Your Angels, is all about understanding who angels are, exploring why they are necessary and how different angels minister comfort, healing, love, prosperity. It reveals who they carry out specific geographic assignments for cities and nations, as well as the more unique and extraordinary assignments they receive.
- Part II, Discerning Your Angels, explains how to become more aware of the unseen heavenly realm, as well as how to recognize divine intervention when it does reveal itself to human sight. Such manifestations include random strangers, visions, or signs and messengers that believers receive. Joshua also explains the way he has interacted with visions of radiant light, swirling colors, and what he describes as atmospheric shifts. All of this is intended to make believers become more aware of both invisible and revealed spiritual realities.
- Part III, Working with Your Angels, deals specifically with how to minister alongside these heavenly messengers as they stand watch, provide protection, and administer strength and comfort. This includes recognizing their movements and how to effectively pray for angelic encounters to take place.
With a foreword by Patricia King, Seeing Angels is among the most comprehensive teachings on recognizing angelic beings and understanding how to partner with them in ministry.

Seeing Angels
When I read a nonfiction book like this one it always makes me think. This book has a lot of interesting stories in it. I did find a lot of the book it hard to understand. The book is broken into three different sections. 1. Understanding your Angels, 2. Recognizing your Angels and 3. Working with your Angels.
There is a lot of information to take in when reading this book. It would probably be a good one to use in a group study. I did find the stories of when ones had encountered with Angels interesting.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher through Celebrate Lit. This book review is my own opinion.
None of us will always agree on what we think about a book. We each see a book in different ways and gleam different aspects from a book. I think this book may be one that each person will see differently. Angels have always been a topic that people feel strongly about. Some don’t believe in them , while others do. As I read this book I sometimes wondered if I would be able to finish the book. I had a hard time understanding the examples the author shared about seeing angels. Then something inside me stirred and God reminded me of several times I experienced angels myself.
While you are driving down a road you see a car to your left coming upon a stop sign. You think nothing of it because the stop sign is there for cars to stop at. Suddenly you see the car moving at a high rate of speed coming right at you. In a split second the car is inches from hitting you and then stops. Was than angel looking out for you? Did the angel spare you from a horrible accident. We can interpret this example in many ways. I experienced this and I believe someone was watching over me that day. There have been several other close calls that have made me believe I truly have an angel watching over me.
I have never actually seen an angel like the author has described but it doesn’t mean that they are not real. God gives us glimpses of things He wants us to see. For some we may never see an angel, but they are there watching over us, guiding us and protecting us. It was interesting to read about the different types of angels and what their function is. Each one has a specific task and are sent by God.
The author goes into detail about angels and uses scriptures to help us better understand what their purpose is. Some of the stories the author shares are examples of angels and their presence in our lives. This book is a great tool for those who want to know more about angels. I may not agree with everything said in the book but I do believe there are angels that walk with us everyday. Our experiences will be different and have different outcome than others, but in the end, ” Dear friends, do not believe every spirit , but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” I John 4:1
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
Sharing many of his own experiences, as well as experiences of others, author Joshua Mills sees angels on a regular basis and believes that we can too. In his book, Seeing Angels, Mills explains what angels are, why God sends them, and how to cooperate with them. I especially respect his constant reminder that angels should always point us to Jesus, not to themselves or to a person.
I appreciate that this book included many scripture references throughout, showing that these things are not just the opinion of the author. I fully believe in angels, yet there is a skeptical side that wants to think some of the things he writes about just couldn’t happen. But then why couldn’t they? We don’t know all there is to know; I learned a lot through this book.
If you want to learn more about angels then read this book. If you aren’t sure what you believe, read this book with an open mind. Search the Bible and ask God to show you the truth.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.
As a Christian, I believe there are angels all around us. However, I believe they generally are not seen, but sometimes can be sensed. So I was interested to read Seeing Angels by Joshua Mills. I expected to read about actual encounters individuals had with angels. But he actually started with an in-depth Biblical discussion about angels. I found this part very informative.
I also enjoyed reading about the four named angels: Michael, Gabriel, and Apollyon or Abaddon, and of course Satan. But then he also mentions Raphael, whose name means “Healing of God”. I felt the insights given in this section provided good information. He discusses how Michael and Gabriel were heavenly messengers rather than ones who performed miracles on their own.
This book emphasizes how God has angels available to do His Work, including healing and ministering. I valued how Mr. Mills discussed the various names of God and then gave additional information and insights to go along with the particular encounters with angels.
So if you want to read a book with more about angels, check out this book for yourself.
I received a copy of this book for my fair and honest review.
Seeing Angels, How to Recognize and Interact with Your Heavenly Messengers by author Joshua Mills is a very interesting book. I am always leery when I see a book on Angels, but this one is different. It is biblically based and has quotes from Billy Graham. Most of all it states angels are not to be worshiped, only God gets that. It also discusses Heavenly angels and Dark angels.
Author Mills is forthcoming about his encounters with angels and shares how he believes anyone can see them and interact with them, too. He is adamant that angels are sent by God as His helpers and not something to be worshiped. I was relieved to read that. So many people get that part wrong.
Using his own experience, stories from others, and scriptural accounts of angels, the author has compiled a well written book. He has a nice writing style that is easy and pleasant to read. He has researched his subject well.
I learned some things from reading this book. According to the author colors and odors are associated with angels. This was the first time I have ever heard or read that.
The author has divided his book into three sections and gives in-depth information on spiritual warfare. Every Christian should be aware of this. That war is real.
This is a great book on angels. There is a plethora of information stated in an easy to understand manner. Many questions I had were answered. My interest was high throughout the entire book.
I highly recommend this to Christians wanting more information on angels and spiritual warfare. It is an eye opening book to say the least. This would make the perfect church group book to read and discuss. Every church library should keep a copy. I rated it a 5 out of 5 stars. A copy was provided by Celebrate Lit, but this is my honest opinion.
