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.
- Uses 3D illustrations by Rommel Ruiz to depict the spiritual realm.
- Two sets of 3D glasses come with each book.
- Will become a favorite bedtime story, helping children ages 4–7 remember the best way to combat our fears is to take them to God.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“Marty’s talent for exceptional storytelling never ceases to amaze me. Angels on Your Side will usher into the hearts of fearful children a calm reassurance of God’s protection. A must-read for every child who struggles with fear and anxiety.”
– Ginger Hubbard, Coauthor of the Teaching Children to Use Their Words Wisely series; cohost, Parenting with Ginger Hubbard podcast
“Angels on Your Side is more than just a great book to read to an anxious child during a thunderstorm—it’s a celebration of God’s sovereign care for his people through angels, ending with a powerful presentation of the gospel. Add in 3D glasses and bold illustrations, and this book is bound to be a hit with kids.”
– Kate Hox, Author of Who Is Jesus? 40 Pictures to Share with Your Family
“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!”
– Jared Kennedy, Editor, The Gospel Coalition; author of The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible and Keeping Your Children’s Ministry on Mission
