Angels on Your Side by best-selling children's author Marty Machowski helps fearful children by reassuring them with biblical stories about God's army of angels complete with 3D imagery.
When children are scared by a storm, afraid of the dark, or wake up from a bad dream, how can you remind them of God's protection and love? When a storm keeps Logan up one night at Grandpa's house, Grandpa comforts him with stories about angels in the Bible who are ever at the Lord's command. When an incredibly powerful angel is on your side, there's no reason to be scared or worried!
Logan's Grandpa teaches him that not only are angels real, but God uses his mighty warriors to guard him. Logan learns that God's angels are an invincible army fighting on our behalf in the strength of the Lord. Young readers will learn along with Logan that angels are watching over us and are always on our side.
"A sweet little book, uniquely illustrated. This is one parents will return to again and again and one that children will want to hear over and over. I especially appreciate how Marty moves the story from angels to Jesus and his cross and resurrection."

"'I'll have to see it to believe it.' That's the philosophy of so many in our world. But the Bible reminds us that much of the real world God created is beyond our sight. Though invisible to us, God's messengers relay prayers to his throne, ministering spirits guard young children, and great battles are fought with evil dragons thrown down in defeat. In Angels on Your Side, Marty Machowski and Rommel Ruiz use clear prose, engaging illustrations, and 3D glasses (!!) to introduce children to God's sovereignty, his providential care, and the spiritual realm where God's army is invisibly but powerfully deployed. What a fun and important book!"

Love Marty Machowski and his writings. Great story that is biblical and uses the Scripture to teach the role of angels in our lives. The 3D glasses are a fun part of the story.
This is another great book by Marty Machowski that addresses a common thing among children: fear, especially fear of storms and the dark. It offers practical wisdom and teaches children in an engaging way that God is always protecting us. Terrific book!
Great picture book about angels and God’s angels armies. It comes with 2 set of glasses ( perfect for us -2 kids ) . They work best when there is light in the room . For betime with a little light it doesn’t work so well. My kiddos loved this book .
Well done! Marty gives us another great book for our shelf, that addresses an issue everyone faces, feeling scared. I purchased one copy and gave it away, purchased another for my own shelf.
Held my grandchildren’s attention from start to finish. The 3D art was fantastic. My grandchildren were grabbing at the pages because the pictures looked real. It was also wonderful that you ended with the Angel at the empty tomb and explaining the gospel.
All children have real or imaginary fears, and we want our children to know God’s love and protection for them. Angels On Your Side: When You’re Feeling Scared is an angelic superhero book featuring God's angels as protectors against evil. Kids are going to love this book! And it comes with 3D glasses as a fun additional element. What better superhero than God's angels?!
My soon really enjoyed the book. Is a good reminder for him that God is in control and He sends His angels to guard us. We really like it and have been reading it almost everyday.
The glasses are not good at all and its very difficult to read the story with them,. Very disappointed
Books by Mary Machowski are always enjoyed at our house. Angels on Your Side is a beautiful picture book that helps lessen feelings of fear by exploring God’s love and protection for His children. This one is a winner! While this complimentary book was provided for review by New Growth Press, no other compensation was given. All remarks are my personal and honest opinions. Angels on Your Side Book Cover
"Angels On Your Side" by Marty Machowski is a very inspiring book for children about the divine presence of Angels and their dramatic protection at God's explicit command. The graphic illustrations by Rommel Ruiz draws our rapt attention and captures our vivid imagination to make Logan's story spring to life in a most awesome way. The turbulent storm and Grandpa's calming presence, coupled with his expert storytelling skill, add to the solemn ambience of the atmosphere. This book reminds us of the glorious fact that God controls all the storms of our lives and His angels watch over us all the time. We don't ever need to worry or fear about the fearsome army trying to scare us when God's angel armies are defending us constantly. I heartily recommend this brilliantly illustrated book to win the hearts of children worldwide.
