Examines the nature of the seven angels of the churches addressed in Revelation to show how congregations can escape the powers that hold them captive.
T. Scott Daniels, pastor of a Los Angeles megachurch, contends that corporate bodies like churches form an individual spiritual personality of sorts. Cultural influences can impact the collective spirit or attitude of a congregation, either hindering it from becoming all God intends it to be or setting it free to glorify God.

In this practical work, Daniels examines the nature of the seven representative "angels" of the churches addressed in Revelation to show how congregations can escape the principalities and powers that hold them captive. The book encourages working pastors, church leaders, and ministry students to consider a systems approach to church leadership--one that takes seriously the powers at work within local congregations--and offers suggestions for transformation.

T. Scott Daniels (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is lead pastor at College Church of the Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho. He previously served as dean of the School of Theology at Azusa Pacific University and pastored First Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena.
