Compassionate, Biblically accurate, and very fascinating!,

Consider two prophetic predictions made by the author: Rev. R.H. Buck (of the famous Buck knife family) passed away on November 06, 1979, long ago and had no way of knowing if his predictions would come true. First, on page 93, Buck claims the Holy Spirit told him: "...I have already given wings to my messages brought to you by the angel of the Lord." Then, on page 70, Buck claims "God told me the pope has no more influence with him than the least of his saints, and has no greater privileges, but because his influence with man is great, his choice is God's concern. Therefore, in order to help in the restoration of his fragmented body, God had chosen a man named Karol Wojtyla of Poland. This prophecy was fulfilled October 16, 1978, when he began his reign as Pope John Paul II." Now, there's no way of proving God told Buck about the Pope before his selection. However, Buck, who died in 1979, had no way of knowing whether or not John Paul would even *live* after being selected, let alone be so influential -for over almost 30 years! -until John Paul's death on April 02, 2005, just two days after the passing of Terri Schiavo. Even quite a few Protestants, Jews, and Muslims think highly of John Paul, so it is safe to say Buck's prophecy came true. Also, while there are many other angel books, it's safe to say that his other prediction has come true: Angels on Assignment is one of the classic books, and is circulated world-wide. Both prophecies came true. I first read this book when I was much younger, and, as I recall, I couldn't put in down until I was finished. Clearly, this is a subject that fascinates most people! (Here, we find the account of an old country preacher, who didn't really want to cause any controversy or undo the years of hard work he had building up his ministry, suddenly telling of speaking with the Archangels, Michael and Gabriel, and other angels, not mentioned in scripture but who he claims visited him: Chrioni, apparently a warring angel who is Gabriel's bodyguard, and an angel of worship named Cyprion.) What impressed me most initially was the fact that the preacher was an old man with health conditions and knew he probably had only a few more years, thus I don't feel he had a motive to profit by lying. In fact, as I recall, he did not even try to write a book. Charles and Frances Hunter came to HIM and offered to write a book. Later, I was able to reflect on what he had claimed the angels told him, and I was glad my background in the Bible was strong. (Also impressive is the fact that his accounts of the many private things he told about people, things revealed to him by angels, has NEVER been refuted in the press, and I've followed this case for years: I think it's true!) First, he never says that we should try to seek contact with angels, and this seems correct to me, because the Bible forbids us to practice witchcraft or divination or communication with the spirit world. One very important point that I m

This book helps answer some of life's biggest questions, such as what happens after death? ... etc. Reading Angels on assignment gives one a peek into the heart of God. After reading it, I learned that God loves us even more than I ever thought.

Excellent and showed God's marvelous love for you & me.

My sister called me in sept 79 and said you have to get this book angels on assignment. She said we just saw Roland Buck and he is real. The most humble man she had ever seen. I don't even like to read but when i finally found the book, it only took me 4 days to read. I bought 10 or more and gave them away. The book last i heard had been translated into more than 15 languages to spread around the world. I talked with Roland after I read the book. He could hear the excitement. He said to me "It's the message not the messenger." That was the same thing that the Angel Gabriel had told him too. Rolland had a bad heart before he saw any Angels but somehow made it thru over 16 Angelic visitations and saw the 120 things that God gave him come to pass and experienced food and drink from Heaven that sustained him. Yes Angels are on Assignment here on earth today. Roland always felt so unworthy to be in their midst. They always had a message right from the Throne of God. They had just come from his presence. That's the love that God has for you and me. This book is a must read. I have always wanted to go to Boise Idaho ever since reading that book in sept 79. That same month we conceived our first daughter that God answered prayer for us after childless for 5yrs. It revived me. My Soul came alive from all of the Scripture that was in the book. Thank you our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

A Sobering Literary Experience

Pastor Buck's experiences as told in this book have truly opened my heart even more to Christ! The most prevalent message throughout is just how much Jesus loves us all. We don't have to be Ministers, TV Evangelists, or even the Pope to receive the love of Christ or his graces. It is ours for the asking, but we must ask! Having personally felt the presence of an Angel before, Pastor Buck's accounts of his visitations are clear and exciting. I kept on reading and reading, I could not put this book down. This book is about the two way street of love, faith, and commitment. Read it now and have it change your life forever!
