I posted this on a reformed message board a day after I saw I didn't have access to the book review section.
I don't think we should pray to angels as such. They are part of the stoichea and because of Christ's resurrection we are no longer under their cosmic rulership. However, we still (or at least many Reformed do) invoke angels in our liturgy. In the doxology we invoke, command the universe to praise God, including "Above ye, Heavenly Host."
For the application. Our culture is currently battling Moloch the Dismemberer. Is it wrong to ask God to send Michael the Archangel to fight Moloch?
Stay liturgical, my friends
