What does the Bible really say about the end times? There are so many Christians teaching outrageous speculation about end times Bible prophecy these days. It's enough to frustrate the serious Bible student. What if you found out most of it is simply mistaken?

The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars is book one of a three part series that tells of the fascinating story of the fall of Lucifer. Lucifer, God's perfect creation and who dwelt in his very presence, walked in the midst of the stones of fire. Yet rose up to betray the Lord and bring Heaven itself to civil war. Many tales have referenced this great angelic war but few have sought to explore the dynamic relationships between God and the angelic hosts. Why did a third of heaven seek to overthrow their creator?

But he soon learns that evil never leaves you alone. It comes after you - and your family - with a vengeance.
Now Noah must rescue his family from the grip of supernatural evil before the Deluge comes and carries them all away.
A wild ride of spiritual redemption and action-adventure that takes the listener on a journey from the heights of heaven to the depths of the underworld.

Does Noah really get on the ark?
I thought the book was very entertaining. I know the end of the story so the author had a very difficult job keeping me engaged and he did just that. There were even times when I thought he was going to change the Biblical narrative to fit his story. He did not, but I was almost sure the story would end differently than what is in the Bible. I kept wondering how the author would bring things together. I was surprised many times.
It is a work of fiction drawing from the Bible, non-canonized stories (stories outside of the Bible) and the author’s creativity. The book kept my attention and even caused me to power through it to see what would happen next.
At the beginning, the author tells a little background on why and how he developed the characters. I believe he said the appendices were not included in the audiobook but they were. I listened to the appendices twice for educational information. He includes a lot of information in them and twice for me is probably not enough. You probably need to read these.
I find it difficult today to find a good story without resorting to constant profanity and graphic sex scenes. In my mind, if an author needs to resort to such attention getters, he or she is not good enough to draw me in on the story itself. Brian Godawa is able to draw you in on the story and keep you wondering what will happen next. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
The author read his own book. He did a very good job. I am sure it took him a long time to put the audio together and I am grateful he did. I have heard other productions who have a much larger budget with professional readers but that’s all they do. Around chapter 4 I lost track of everything and was focused on the story and not the reader. I thank him for making this available in audio form. I read all the time for work and at times I need to sit back and just listen to a good story. The book is better than most of the entertainment you see on TV or at the movies today. My goal in listening was for entertainment and I was entertained and as a bonus, I received some education.
On a theological note, the author did interweave sound theology into the story. It is a story of Noah. Yes, he did have fantasy and fiction but when he dealt with Biblical issues, he was truthful.

almost perfect
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
first off its a good story and pretty well read. Also it opens your mind up to a whole new way of looking at the bible and history. would be great as a film.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Methuselah... really cool character. He needs his own book.
What about Brian Godawa’s performance did you like?
Really good except for some dialog moments with the archangels... they did not sound... otherworldly enough to me. I dont know if thats the writing was of or the reading. The end conflict however was epic! The reader/ author really gets into it and you feel like you are on this battlefield with him as this wave is coming..
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I just got a jolt at the final chapter. It was Just such a cool and epic 3rd act

The Antediluvian World - A Harmonisation
This is an excellent fictional re telling of the flood that weaves the biblical account seamlessly with many of the Ancient Near Eastern flood myths; the result is a reasonable (and vastly entertaining) explanation of the presence of and belief in many of the deities and seemingly divergent understandings found regarding the Deluge. I especially enjoyed listening to the appendices following the novel that explained much of the rationale of the author's choices for the depiction of Noah and the other characters. Thank-you, Mr. Godawa, for this series!

Way Too Much TMI
The author’s prologue is really much too long and unnecessary In the body of the book he introduces too many groups and entities at one time for person who is not familiar this part of Noah’s Bible story. I really didn’t like the fact that the book had sexual content. In addition the author’s attempt at humor for the characters was way off base for the times and for the story. When if you finally are able to identify all the charactures and get past the dialogue I feel the story ends in the middle of Noah’s full story.

bad bible fan fiction
this books so much wants to be the script to a big summer Hollywood action movie.Complete with cheesy one liners, and idioms that are truly cringe worthy.I practically expected a laugh track for some of the bland attempts at humor.the author makes some lame attempts to connect biblical noah to the summerian and Babylonian flood stories.however if the author had properly researched the material,beyond having a flood narrative,the stories of other ancient cultures are not even close to overlapping with the true biblical narrative. I found it disappointing that the author tried to shoehorn in Noah being called ziusudra and ut-napistim,when those characters in their own narrative are clearly not the biblical noah.
by far the biggest problem with this audio book,is the narrator.why they allowed the author to narrate this book is beyond me,he doesn't have the voice for it.at certain points in the story, characters in the book yell.when this happens it sounds like a shrieking 12 year old boy throwing a temper tantrum.the performance is one of the worst I've ever heard.could be that the story would have been more enjoyable with a professional reading the material,but unfortunately this ruined the book for me.

Mythic history
What made the experience of listening to Noah Primeval the most enjoyable?
Great story that rings true to the human heart but also stays true to biblical speculation
What other book might you compare Noah Primeval to and why?
The Didymus Contingency by Jeremy Robinson was another fun jaunt into biblical fiction
Have you listened to any of Brian Godawa’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first, overall I rated him 4 out of 5 because at times I thought he didn't capture how I wanted the characters to sound, but he is the author, so maybe there was a reason for it that I will find upon repeated listenings
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Almost a good listen
The story line is fair. As a Bible student who loves fiction and understand what I call “True Fiction”, it seems that there was just too much liberty taken in using secular religious and mythical beliefs. Noah as a warrior is quite a stretch, but I can use it. I was a bit offended with the elevation of Shem and Japheth and the strange take on Ham; especially in light of how scholars have mistreated Ham. I had great hopes that this would be a knock out of the park read.
I gave the performance a very low rating because it was like being read to as a kid. A bolder voice and more dramatic would have grabbed my attention, but u struggled. I will listen to the second in series. If it’s the same after two chapters ; I’m done.

Great intro an exciting new literary genre.
This book was my first introduction to this exciting niche literary genre for Christians.It is great way to easily digest little known aspects of biblical theology & history at bedtime.I had to keep reminding myself that it is actually historical fiction, NOT mythology.Brians fearless commitment to good scholarship (e.g.M.Heiser),& his high view of scripture makes an entertaining educational experience also Spiritually nourishing.

Cool idea, lacks depth.
Narration by the author adds a little zest to the story.
Story lacks character depth, probably assuming the reader already knows something of the characters, such as Noah's family.
Too often the author 'hurries' over 'moving' moments, important events and the description of scenery. It shows either a rushed attempt at story writing or a lack of imagination.
The concept is in my opinion a fantastic re-envisioning of the 'status quo's' understanding of the biblical narrative, in a very inventive way.
The possibilities were fantastic, the result, mediocre.
Would I recommend? Because of the appendices and theological merit behind the fiction, yes absolutely. If you're after great fiction, look elsewhere. Otherwise, continue. But let it be known this book will leave mixed emotions.
