Out of the Ashes

Do the angels love us, or just protect us out of service to God? What if Michael the Archangel dwelt in your body? How would you influence him? Can we go too far away from God for Him to save us? These are some of the questions that are addressed in this book about one man and one angel. In Out of the Ashes, Michael the Archangel is indwelt in the body of Chuck, a prison inmate that was once close to God, but now has departed as far as he could from him. Michael, who serves God faithfully, must learn how to love mankind through Chuck’s body with none of his powers or any influence on him. To make things worse, Satan, his adversary, knows this and is free to attack Chuck directly.

Upon entering Chuck’s body, Michael is subject to the flames of hate and despair created by an uncontrollable forest fire in his heart. How can love come from this pitiful life? Michael thinks. Chuck is just a shell of the man he once was. When an all-consuming fire has destroyed everything, can life spring out of the ashes? Out of the Ashes portrays the conflicts that we experience, both in the physical and spiritual world. It shows that, through God, all can be conquered. In this book, the fate of humanity rests in one angel and one man.
