Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God’s supernatural servants. In his latest book, Angels ( Amazon), Dr. In The Unseen Realm ( Amazon), Michael Heiser opened the eyes of thousands to see the Bible through the supernatural worldview of the ancient world it was written in. It’s a book about the loyal members of God’s heavenly host, and while most people associate them with the word “angel,” that’s just one of many terms the Bible uses for supernatural beings. ![]() This book was written to help change that. What the Bible really says about angels is overlooked or filtered through popular myths. ![]() ![]() If you read Luke 1:26–38 and imagine the angel Gabriel standing before Mary with neatly folded white wings, you’re not getting that picture from anything the Bible itself says. Heiser: Įveryone knows that angels have wings, usually carry harps and that each of us has our guardian angel, right? We all have some preconceptions about angels from movies, television shows, and other media, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of those notions aren’t based on anything from the Bible.

Mara’s parents, especially her mother, are quite involved in the storyline which is somewhat unusual for YA. The two main characters (and couple) are Mara and Noah, and there are various side characters like Mara’s parents, classmates, friends, ex-boyfriend, etc. ![]() Unfortunately, I would not categorize this as a page turner until some more exciting scenes near the last 3/4s of the book. ![]() Solid overall, but no frills or really extraordinary facets.

What I mean by that is that they either function as comedies with horror elements thrown in (the most common example of the subgenre), or they’re straightforward horror movies that happen to have comedic elements. The weird thing about this genre, though, is that movies within it tend to be either/or. We here at 25YL love a good horror comedy, be it classics like Evil Dead 2 or more modern hits like Tucker and Dale Vs.

As Dene puts it: “What we’ve seen is full of the kinds of stereotypes that are the reason no one is interested in the Native story in general, it’s too sad, so sad it can’t even be entertaining.” Orange and Dene both realise the pitfalls of telling any part of the Native American story.
