Billy Hallowell, journalist and host of a new CBN documentary, has spent years covering faith and the supernatural, but it wasn't until he started investigating firsthand accounts of angels and demons that his own skepticism was put to the test. Angels and Demons is the follow-up to his earlier film on miracles, and it goes beyond Hollywood sensationalism to bring in scientists, scholars, and Ivy League-educated experts who have changed their minds after coming face to face with evidence they could not explain away.

The supernatural, spiritual warfare, and the stories skeptics cannot easily dismiss: Billy walks through the case of Bruce Van Natta, a man crushed under a semi-truck who claims to have seen angels and survived against all odds, and the chilling story of Julia, a Satan worshiper whose experiences convinced Columbia University professor and psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gallagher that possession is real. He also opens up about why he believes the supernatural is becoming one of the most powerful apologetics tools for reaching a generation that has had secularism pushed on them, and why after 27 years in media, he still believes the most important story anyone can tell is one that points people toward God.
