MEDIA ADVISORY, March 15, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- The mystery of a spiritual world has intrigued us for ages. Is there a reality that exists beyond the senses? And can an invisible spiritual world actually become visible? Best-selling author Anthony DeStefano answers yes with certainty. The Invisible World: Understanding Angels, Demons, and the Spiritual Realities That Surround Us explores the existence and meaning of this unseen, yet very real world.

Though the pages of The Invisible World are rich in poignant stories and tangible applications, DeStefano eschews anecdotal evidence and offers instead a depth of theological and biblical evidence as he takes readers on a journey to an unseen world inhabited by God, angels, demons, Satan, Heaven, and Hell. Bravely, DeStefano traverses into the dark night of the soul and the potentially liberating power of Grace with much honesty and candor. The author both asks and answers prickly questions like, "What are the incomprehensible qualities of God?" "Why have angels captivated our imaginations and interest?" "What is the purpose of a soul?" and "Why does it seem that, despite Grace, Satan seems to win?"

Through all the twists and turns of this eerie yet uplifting book, the author's mission is clear. "I want to make the invisible realities that surround us more visible," says DeStefano. "My hope is that, by doing this, these realities won't seem so unfamiliar in the future. And the more familiar they are, the easier it will be to understand them and to have absolute faith in their existence. Once you're armed with that kind of certitude, three things will naturally happen:

1. It will be easier for you to act in sync with your moral beliefs.
    
2. Your life will be much fuller, richer, and more exciting than you ever imagined possible.
    
3. No amount of suffering -- physical, mental, or emotional -- will ever be able to destroy the profound inner sense of peace that you'll experience on a daily basis."

Anthony DeStefano is a businessman and the best-selling author of A Travel Guide to Heaven and Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To (Doubleday), as well as two highly acclaimed children's books, This Little Prayer of Mine and Little Star (WaterBrook Multnomah).
