Angels on Assignment

Summary: An Incredible Book
Review: Angels on Assignment is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Let me assure you that although Pastor Buck Roland's account is incredible, there are also many, many incredible miracles in the Bible as well. Pastor Roland comes through as sincere, down to earth and just as honest and credible as I've heard he was. And YES, this book is indeed scripturally sound and compatible. I've also read the report that the other reviewer posted about by Walter Martin, And if there was ever an account of straining a gnat and swallowing a camel, THAT was it. His theology is shoddy to say the least and he reads like he needs to be in the first chapter of one his "cult books". (if he indeed did author one) Christianity is about faith, and this book is guaranteed to increase yours. Do yourself a big favor and read this book. You'll be very, very glad you did. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Review: Did you ever wonder about Angels? Do you
sometimes see a light or feel a brush against
your face? Have you ever all of a sudden
felt a warm flow of love and protection?
Perhaps you are in the presence of angels?

In this book "Angels on Assignment", the
author shares with you, the reader, his experience as God sends His Angels with a message to mankind.
I truly will not even begin to tell you what
is inside of this wonderful book, but I encourage you to read it for yourself.

If you ever wondered what these Holy Beings do, perhaps this will give you some answers and will encourage you in your journey through this world. You are not alone!

Few have been honored to have such an encounter as Mr. Buck has had.
Is it the truth? That will be your decision to make, but I will tell you this, this book had a great impact on my life. I truly will never forget it.

Recommended!

Summary: Compassionate, Biblically accurate, and very fascinating!
Review: 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 must make is that the pastor does not preach down to people; he is very compassionate and shows love towards all, whether they deserve it or not, but he does not ever compromise Holy Standards and say that anything goes and just anything is OK.

Also importantly, he underscores that the Angels tell us that we should not seek Angels because Jesus is far greater than any angel!

A later book by his daughter included contributions from the whole family and others to show that this man was a sincere person who loved people and was not irresponsible or given to fads.

One thing that is real unusual is that after about twenty-five long years of being in print, I felt God calling me to buy his book in case it went out of print or otherwise became unavailable (the book I had was my mom's, not mine). When I eventually got around to looking for it online, I discovered that at almost the exact time that I felt the urge to buy it, the book (and a sequel by his daughter) became available for free online. What coincidence that just when I would try to find it online, it be newly put up after a quarter century! (I downloaded a free copy anyhow, but purchased the a hard copy because it was cheaper than printing out the one I had downloaded.)

You can look at any claim that Pastor Buck makes and line it up with the word of God, and it does not contradict the Holy Bible!
For example, when he says that the angels told him a major implication of God being omnipresent: The Holy Spirit (Also God) constantly monitors the whole world and knows if one sparrow drops dead to the ground, and additionally can send instructions in real time to angels to address any problem that may exist. This not only gives new meaning to God is "all present, all powerful, all knowing, etc.," but also does not contradict scripture.

He says that he is not trying to make you believe him, merely telling what he saw as he was asked to do by God, and he says that he hopes that the reader draws closer to God as a result of his testimony of what he experiences.

Lastly, "Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!" Hebrews 13:2 New Living Translation; see also: Genesis 18:1-3 about Abraham and Genesis 19:1-3 about Lot. (They met undercover angels!)

This book is a very inspiring -and very trustworthy book. That is probably one reason it was a top seller and remains very popular to this day. I highly recommend it.

Summary: A very encouraging, faith building book
Review: I read this book many years ago and will read it again. One reviewer claims the book is non-biblical, but I was impressed with how biblical Angels On Assignment is. I'm always skeptical of claims like Pastor Buck's, but his book certainly squares with the Bible, unless I missed something. After reading this book, I felt very encouraged about God's interest in each of us.

Summary: God works in mysterious and WONNNNDERFUL ways!
Review: it was 1981...a dear friend shared this book with me and my then husband. he and I'd become Born Again Christians... we lived in norfolk, VA at the time and I was getting ready to drive home to ny for a visit while he was leaving for a one month naval cruise. I had decided to bring the book home to share it with my family.(I was raised jewish and I felt the need to share God's messages with them.) my brother in law was driving WITH me to help me with my young son. unfortunately, my husband took the book with HIM... along the way, our car broke down in South Salisbury Maryland, on the highway. directly across from us was a man on his tractor in a huge pumpkin patch. (mr. alfred was his name) to make a long story very short...this wonderful man (out of the goodness of his heart), along with his tractor, towed us to his property, took us to a motel, THEN drove us to the airport, the next evening so we could take a plane home to ny. (we had called my pop in law and he sent us extra money for extra expenses.) all this time, it had bothered me that I did NOT have the book in my possession. so...NOW, we're at the airport, it's almost midnite and my son, a very energetic 10 1/2 month old, was walking,(holding on to the seats)..going from seat to seat to seat...(you get the idea).... well....he gets to a little table (at the end of the row of seats) that had magazines on it and one book....the book was 'angels on assignment' I could NOT believe it! I opened it to look for proof of ownership. in fact, there was NO ONE to be found in the area we were sitting! we were the ONLY THREE THERE! you KNOW I took the book and put it in my bag! needless to say....i KNEW a miracle had occured! i KNEW God had sent us through that WHOLE adventure JUST so I could find the book and bring it home to my family! another strange thing happened afterwards. after my family got to read it, the book MYSTERIOUSLY disappeared! thats' the condensed version of what happened to us! all these years, I've thought about this book and felt the need to share it's contents with others.....NOW I'm getting the chance...I'M buying it from amazon! it'll really bring you closer to God and warm your spirit!

Summary: Excellent and showed God's marvelous love for you & me.
Review: 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!

Summary: FALLEN ANGELS ON ASSIGNMENT
Review: This book is clearly speaking about "Angels of Light" which the scriptures are clear, are fallen angels, and not from God.

Read Paul's admonition in Galatians 1 regarding the apparition of angels...that if they present "new truths" which do not correspond with historic, apostolic Christianity, we are not to follow them or give regard to their teachings.

People of God need to be discerning, as Paul warns the Ephesians in Acts 20, to be aware that wolves are working within the church to destroy us, and we need to be ready to defend the gospel of truth against false teachings, regardless of their "angelic" source.
