Publisher's summary

This is the newest, biggest and best compilation of the complete collection of deuterocanonical books also known as the Apocrypha. The book was further expanded to contain writings of the apostolic fathers, Psalms 151-160, Enoch 1-3, The Book of Thomas, The Didache, The Source ("Q") Based on Luke, and The Book of Jubilees along with history, introductions and more!

The Author offers unique insight into the history behind these texts including The "Q" or Source Based on Luke, The Didache, Jubliees, Enoch 1-3, and each apostolic father. Lumpkin takes it a step further by introducing an interesting view on The Book of Enoch and The Book of Giants. By in laying the Book of Giants within The Book of Enoch the author noticed a shockingly cohesive story that has given rise to the theory that The book of Giants may have once been part of the book of Enoch. This version has been included for our readers.

Needs written words

I love listening to this book but I wish I could look at the words that is written to follow along.

Enlightening, funny, action packed history

First off the narrator is great, not overly dramatic, but right tone for humorous sections, and likewise for more serious content. The narrator give some commentary, but just enough to set the scene and never drawn out.
There are epic battles, stories you'd find in a sit com, epic fantasy; the gambit. What the Catholic church did to the personification of Jesus is criminal - this represents Jesus and everyone with so much more depth. Enoch is very important. I feel that I can believe in Christ again. This will challenge some beliefs - real Christianity involves reincarnation and a lot more than the dumbed down 2nd grade presentation by the church. Best of all it is not a dry esoteric historical text, there were a lot of colorful characters.

Can you hear me now?

I don’t care for the sound of his voice. This is not how you read the book of God it sounds like he sad, and going to sleep.
