Well, I just finished reading Angel’s Blood. And, yes, of course, the title got me to buy the book right then and there. For theologians, this is not the book for you unless you are able to throw out all your knowledge to jump into the story. I literally had to shake my head trying [...]

As most of you know, I’ve been reading a series of novels by a Christian author who altered a Biblical story. It grieved my spirit immensely and has continued to haunt me. I had to go back and read scripture in order to alleviate the spiritual burden which forced me to once again look at [...]

Due to porn spammers, I had to take down my forum. Below is a post from the member Sharath on April 25, 2009. It has not been altered in any way.
Rebecca,
Hi. I just read your book cover to cover in the past 24 hours, and my heart is overwhelmed at your invitation to come on [...]

While in Indianapolis visiting bookstores to sign stock copies of Sons of God, I began talking to one of the managers who began asking me lots of questions on the Nephelim - the main characters in my series which are documented in the Old Testament as the children of angels and mortals.

I’ve been battling a mood for a while, and it came to a point last Shabbat. It had to do with God’s unfulfilled promises. When I speak of unfulfilled promises, I am not speaking of demonic deception that is portrayed in the novel Sons of God - the kind where external/physical signs and wonders are [...]

Pastors fight, theologians squabble and rabbis debate the Biblical N’filim. This antediluvian race, an offspring of giants fathered by fallen angels with female mortals is first introduced in Genesis 6:1-4. It is their existence that caused the flood and their existence why God commanded the Hebrews to finish the race’s extinction under Moses and Joshua. [...]

So what’s next from this author? Joseph goes to Egypt, has a passionate affair with Potipher’s wife, and starves his family to death for sinning against him?
Oh wait, we can’t have a Joseph, because Joseph’s character is miscarried in her series. In the Bible, God blesses and speaks to Rachel’s (Rose’s) children, not Leah’s. It [...]

Here’s the thing. You do not take one of the greatest loves in the Bible (Jacob’s love for Rachel) and fictionalize it into a great love story between Leah and Jacob.
Biblical fact: Rachel was a shepherdess. This is even what she was doing when Jacob met her. The Bible does not paint her to be [...]

When I picked up this trilogy I didn’t know it was the story of the Biblical Jacob, but the author made it so obvious I picked up on this fact within a few paragraphs. Then I got excited because the love story of Jacob and Rachel is one of the most beautiful in the Bible. [...]
