“Makes you want to study the Bible more!”

“The fallen angels and giants are never taught in Sunday School and only briefly mentioned in sermons (if at all). But what happened in the beginning opens our eyes to the whole big picture of the sources of evil AND it paves the way to understanding the Bible as a whole. It provides over 600 notes in the back of the book for further study and references.”

“Great supplement to Bible study”

“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.”

“What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School”

“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, some things are literally lost in translation. Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues: Nephilim, Watchers and giants.”

“When Giants Were Upon the Earth is a fascinating book for information. It is one that I’ve actually listened to multiple times and finally had to purchase just to satisfy my need for more knowledge. this book is not one that you will read and put on the shelf and be done with. It’s become part of my study toolbox.”

“Brian provides graphic explanation of some of the most mysterious aspects of the Holy Bible. We read of nephilim and other unexplained names which he fills in with extensive research to give us the perspective of ancient life and customs in the Near East during Biblical times and explain the beliefs of the people who lived there. It lends a new perspective to reading and understanding the Holy Words.”
