What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School
Format: Paperback
Often when reading through the Bible, whether one does so for religious reasons or not, we miss details in the background. Or we do not take into consideration cultural context while interpreting passages. Sometimes, due to difficulties in translating ancient languages into modern ones, some things are literally lost in translation. In this volume, where Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues. In particular, he focuses on topics that have long mystified people and been the subject of much conjecture and fictionalization: Nephilim, Watchers and giants. He also takes a close look at verses that may have had supernatural elements inadvertently scrubbed: The strange ariel creatures in 2 Samuel 23:20 translated instead into men, or the demons and goblins of Isaiah 13:21-22 written off as wild animals, etc. Clues to a different ancient world than usually supposed?
The only misstep is his adherence to the John Walton ANE interpretation. This is based on superficial interpretation, and worse history (e.g. the whole ANE "dome" interpretation of creation is largely mythical). Walton's books haves done a huge disservice in undermining biblical inerrancy. See Hugh Ross' Rescuing Inerrancy for more on Walton and others who aren't too good at biblical study.
There's a lot of food for thought in these pages. For more, see

Great supplement to Bible study
Format: Paperback
Stimulating reading for science-minded and biblically minded readers. The author who wrote this book has a lot to say about some of the strange images we read about in the Bible. Giants, flying reptiles, satyrs, fauns, denizens, angels, demons, etc. Once I read this, I began realizing that much of the strange things we see in the world outside the Bible are about as realistic as some of these images mentioned in the Bible. The battle between our minds and our souls carries on.

Informational but not what I expected.
Format: Paperback
The facts as they relate to the bible and some other scripts are good, but it would have been better if they were backed up with scientific facts and Egyptian findings. This would have given a broader and more open-minded big picture. I was disappointed overall.

My brain needed this book.
Format: Paperback
What a refreshing cup of water to a thirsty mind! I'm so glad I stumbled across this book and this author, Brian Godawa. I was beginning to think I was the only person on earth who had questions about traditional Christianity versus ancient cultures as well as other mysteries on our earth, and this book has made some links and clarifications on some fascinating subjects that aren't dealt with much in the modern church. It didn't matter that this book is a compilation of appendices based on his research for one of his fiction series. It read, easily, as a non-fiction book and I appreciated how the author used facts based off of biblical and other ancient documents in a rather logical way, with limited conjecture and emotion. I tried absorbing the information in this book as quickly as possible, and already have admired and desired the author's other utterly fascinating book offers. Thank you, Mr. Godawa, for your seeming unrelentless pursuit of truth! I stand with you.

I own the Canadian copy:
Format: Kindle
This is a captivating and thought-provoking book that dares to explore the uncharted spiritual terrain of the afterlife. Authored with a profound sense of reverence, this book serves as a unique bridge between the iconic voice of John Lennon and the modern reader, yearning for deeper insights into love, life, and the essence of humanity. The narrative is brilliantly crafted, seamlessly blending the ethereal with the tangible. The idea of John Lennon sharing his reflections from Heaven is not just compelling but also deeply moving. The authors have managed to channel Lennon’s timeless philosophy of love, peace, and unity in a way that feels authentic and true to his spirit.
What makes this book truly stand out is its ability to inspire readers to reevaluate their own lives. Lennon’s "heavenly" wisdom challenges us to let go of fear, embrace forgiveness, and lead lives that resonate with harmony and love. It’s a powerful reminder of Lennon’s enduring message and the impact it continues to have on our world. For fans of John Lennon and the Beatles, as well as those curious about the mysteries of life beyond, this book is a treasure trove. It’s not just a read; it’s an experience—a spiritual odyssey that lingers long after the final page is turned.
Whether you're a die-hard Lennon enthusiast or someone simply seeking inspiration, All You Need is Love offers a glimpse into the eternal legacy of one of the greatest icons of our time.
