Angels Our Guardians In Spiritual Battle
Angels are all around us. They are not fairy-tale creatures or New Age sprites but powerful beings created by God to reflect his light. And while we often are not aware of them, the angels are deeply interested in us. In Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle, moral theologian, author, and speaker Msgr. Brian Bransfield teaches us how to recognize the angels present in our lives.
Drawing on Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Msgr. Bransfield shows how the angels — the good angels who serve God and the evil angels who fell with Lucifer — influence us in powerful ways. The evil angels are insidious as they seek to lure us into sin and away from God. The good and holy angels help us combat the wiles of the demons and accompany us on our mission of sharing Christ with the world. They serve as God’s humble yet powerful messengers and our guardians in the wilderness of this life, strengthening us against temptation. Ultimately, they lead us to the glory of the Resurrection so that we might share the victory of Jesus over sin and death.

Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur:
The Nihil Obstat (“Nothing Obstructs”) is an official declaration that a book or pamphlet has been reviewed by a qualified theologian and is verified to be free of doctrinal or moral error.
The Imprimatur (“Let it be printed”) is provided by the local bishop to those materials that have been reviewed and verified to be free of doctrinal or moral error and given the Nihil Obstat
The Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur combined with the Imprimatur are the official declarations that a book or pamphlet has been reviewed by a qualified theologian, is verified to be free of doctrinal or moral error, and approved by the local bishop for publishing. No implication is contained therein that those who have granted the Nihil Obstat or Imprimatur agree with the content, opinion, or statements expressed.
One may see in accordance to canon law the simplified “Printed with ecclesiastical permission” with the name of the approving bishop and date he provided his approval. This is the same Church approval as an imprimatur. Though the name of the censor Librorum (“censor of books”) who provides the Nihil Obstat is not noted.
