Summary: Interesting and Insightful
Comment: I'm in the beginning stages of reading this book, so I cannot comment on all of it just yet. I will say, however, that it has answered some of the questions that I've often had about principles characters in the bible. I've also often wondered why these books were left out of the bible. As a woman, I found it very uplifting to read the story of Mary's childhood as well as other stories that mentioned or focused on women. From what I've read so far, I definitely recommend it!

Summary: Blasphemous?
Comment: Let's start with the orgin to the bible, it was compiled by the ROMAN emporer Constantine to save his crumbling empire.He gathered all the Gnosis scholars collected documents containing ANY story of Jesus and EDITED the image of Jesus into what we have today.Any mention of him being less than a perfect person was destroyed or hidden!God let this happen...why you ask? He moves mysterious ways.These books are well translated and easy to read,and least we forget that books of the Bible have been removed or added for centries and WHOLE revisions of the books in the bible are as common as a hundred years ago.This book claimes to be lost stories of a forgotten past,one twised to conform to what a DEAD DICTATOR wanted.If you want to see some rewrithing look at a KJV Gen 49:6 than a NIV there is a hell of a difference between the two passages!But the word of God can't be wrong,can it? nope but people are.People are imperfect bags of bones we mess up and when we mess it up we hide books like this one.We cover up what we don't like to keep dogma alive.These are excellent books well worth the read.These texts come from a purer source than anyone of the Gospels could ever hope to be.We now have the back storie,which completes the whole picture.Now wouldn't you think God would want that,after all he would make sure that salvation would be found anyway nessisary?This book follows up where HIDDEN books like the Enoch texts leaves out.Read these books and decide for yourself are these really BLASPHEMOUS? or just lost historie?

Summary: Okay, just want to clear something up.
Comment: Well, first off i gave this five stars, though i havent read the book i'm afraid. But i like to think that anything that can encourage the teachings of God deserves 5 stars, if only for the effort.
But i am writing this mainly to clear up a review i just saw posted
here by a "eric burgess" who claims there are no other outlets to seek the word of God. you can look back and see his (i assume this person is male, but i appologize if they are female) review if you wish, but it specifically quoted 1st Timothy 3:15 saying:
"There is no evidence that any of these books where ever considered conanicle by the Church which is (1 Tim 3:15). All of Gods word is contained in the Bible."
Wow, sorry, but that is pretty innacurate. This is what 1st Timothy 3:14-16 says (15 alone is kind of vague, so i decided to include the previous and following verse):
"14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:
He[3] appeared in a body,[4]
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory."
I dont know about you, but i dont see anything about the rejecting of "lost books." so i checked 2nd Timothy, thinking he must have got the two confused:
"14But as for you[Timothy], continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Yeah, i'm not seeing anything regarding any kind of book or, well, anything our reviewer eric was talking about. But, while searching through the Bible for Timothy, i did find one of my old favorites from Mark 9:
"Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
38"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."
39"Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40for whoever is not against us is for us. 41I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward."
I think the passage above kind of sums it up. Yes, God's breath is in the Holy Bible, but is there any thing saying it cant be found else where. all we are really left with is "All Scripture is God-breathed" (2nd Tim 3:16). I dont know about you, but i thought God gave man the Church so that the Holy Spirit could be among men. The Church is of God, not of man ("of" in context "from"). What is a church but assembled wood? it's the Spirit of God that makes it Holy. What i'm getting at is, the Bible was assembled by man, whether anointed by God or not. now who are we to say what is and what isnt scripture? If i remember correctly, Christianity is held together by faith, right? If there is new text concerning worship of God, they why not? why not read it? why not believe it? if it doesnt hurt your faith, or others, then why not?
arrogant humans, i tell ya -shakes head-
oh well, i hope this gets understood. sorry by-the-way, for affecting the score of the book, seriously, i really dont like having to do that. it was just the only why i could post.
Thank you, i hope this at least broadens some minds out there.
