Eye opening book........2007-09-30
This book had a few earlier reviews that left me feeling skeptical before buying and reading it myself. Now that I have read it I feel it is a great tool for showing what very could have happened in our Earths history.
The author did a very good job of explaining the content and left me with no questions about it. I personally believe what he researched and authored is very likely the truth. It gave me the "proof" of knowing that our world was indeed created by an awesome God. The fallen angels who corrupted Gods perfect creation by breeding the half man-half angel "Nephilim" really makes it all come together.
The last part of the book emphasizes a relationship with our creator God (Yeshua) aka. Jesus. That is the best part. Only when we recognise that we ourselves are corrupt in the heart and rebel against God, do we finally understand the need for a savior (Jesus). The good part is that what he did on the cross paid for all our rebellious sin. All we have to do is accept it for ourselves freely.
I recomend this book highly.
Great about understanding an ancient race....in religion.......2007-09-21
This book is excellent in understanding the pyramids and an ancient race that was coursed. and how it all times in to end time prophecy...
AN EXCELLENT FOUNDATION BOOK..........2007-09-12
Dr. Patrick Heron's book is one the first book I've read that deals with the fallen ones extensively... I was really amazed how good he is at pointing the facts. Indeed it is convincing. The second part of the book tells about the Apocalypse and End Times. I particularly like this Biblical quote that Dr. Patrick emphasized...
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS
CHRIST, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE......." John 3:16
Believe and you shall have Eternal
Happiness...
FAITH....
Two words to sum it all up: YOU'LL BELIEVE!!
Raised More Questions.......2007-08-24
I thought the book was very good. I've been interested in the details (what details there are that are credible) pertaining to Genesis 6 for a while now and Patrick Heron has provided some. I wished that Mr. Heron would have discussed more about the possibility of the existence of the Nephilim today (i.e., in this day and age). I question if there is another program by the fallen to dilute the human race again seeing as The Anointed (the one true hero in the greek sense) has all ready arrived in the flesh. The discussion about the pyramids was interesting and Mr. Heron suggests that the Holy City described in Rev. 21 is in the shape of a pyramid. Possible, ...but I prefer the interpretation of it being cubic in shape as this would make it a six (6) sided structure rather than the five (5) sided design of a pyramid. The number five (5) of course being associated with the adversary (Satan).

3 chapters of book, the rest preaching.......2007-06-04
I was very disappointed in the book. I bought it for information that the title promised, and then found that over half of the book is preaching. Be warned before you buy, if you want a long sermon then buy it
what a waste of money !!!.......2007-05-09
It's a very bad book, plenty of fantasious ideas that aren't based neither historic nor scientific evidence. In addition, that ideas are mixed with the traditional concept of 'christ'. The author shows a lack of rigoruos analytic thinking in his statements.
If you want to enhance your knowldege with points of view more independents of both historic and religious traditional influences, I recommend to read "The Orion Mystery", "Fingerprints of the Gods", and books of zecharia sitchin.
Just okay.......2007-04-03
I bought this book because I wanted to do more research on the issue of the identity of the "sons of God" and the Nephilim in Genesis 6. Among evangelical biblical scholars there is disagreement regarding who these beings were. Some scholars say that the "sons of God" were Sethites who intermarried with Cainite women; some others say that they were warriors descended from Cain; and others say that they were angelic beings who fell from their glorious state in heaven.
Patrick Heron does an excellent job demonstrating that the "sons of God" were fallen angels who took on fleshly form and mated with human females. I was never fully convinced with the Sethite and Cainite view of the sons of God because of their weak exegetical and historical foundations (the Sethite view cannot explain why the "daughters of men" must refer to Cainite women, and the Cainite view was unheard of before the 2nd century AD). Heron provides intriguing evidence to point out that the sons of God were indeed angels: the pantheon of gods in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman mythology (one can include the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures like the Norse and Indics); the practice of genetic manipulation in antiquity (demonstrated by records of hybrid beasts in stone tablets and murals); and vile religious practices of these ancient people.
Though many Christians may find the angelic theory of the sons of God/Nephilim/ancient gods far-fetched, Heron still does an excellent job showing why there is a vital connection between the fallen angels and the "heroes of old" (ancient gods/goddesses). He reveals how the ancient pyramids of Egypt, Southeast Asia, and pre-Columbian Americas are intricately tied to these sons of God and the coming apocalypse. (Heron's theory is backed up by recent findings in the last century of huge skeletal frames found in various parts of the world. Some of these skeletal frames are as tall as 20 feet. These findings show that in ancient times there existed humanoid giants that roamed the earth and caused havoc among native civilizations.)
However, despite these positive and enlightening points, Heron's book takes a downward turn in the second half. The second half of the book is basically an advocacy of the dispensational pretribulational view of the end-times. Though I am strongly premillennial and futurist in my interpretation of Revelation, I just thought that Heron made major assumptions and leaps in trying to fit his whole theory into a pretrib/premill eschatological schema. Yes, I believe that there will be bizarre events in the near future signalling the beginning of the end (and I believe that these fallen angels will play a large part in the coming catastrophe), but that can all be found in the Book of Revelation. In short, the second part of the book read like another one of Hal Lindsey's end-time books with some interesting things thrown into the mix.
Overall, I would recommend this book ONLY for the information on the sons of God and Nephilim. Many Christians will find Heron's advocacy of the pretrib/premill position problematic. One can definitely find better books elsewhere if one wants a more scholarly work on eschatology.
The Nephilim and the pyramind of the Apocalypse.......2007-03-09
I viewed this work as very enlightening on the subject of Good/Bad Angels and his take on the Pyramind's while not new is very intertesting
Open your mind because here it comes!.......2007-01-10
This book will change the way you think, and confirm your what you may have already wondered. Truly fascinating.

Book Description
Patrick Heron was one of the first British artists to embrace abstraction in the 1950s, absorbing and distilling a wide range of influences, particularly those of Matisse and Braque, to create works that convey pure visual sensation. In addition, he also produced a powerful and provocative body of work as a writer, making a forceful case for the importance of contemporary British art in the face of the increasing dominance of the New York art world. This much-needed survey of Heron's life and work, the first since his death in March 1999, examines his close and creative relationship with the landscape and light of Cornwall and his long exploration of the "color of color."
This book is one of a series that explores the life and work of major artists associated with St. Ives, an artists colony in Cornwall, England.

The Face of the Century-my review.......2005-05-16
"The Face of the Century: 100 Years of Make-up and Style" was a wonderful learning experience. It is a non-fiction book about the history of make-up and fashion (mainly make-up). I have always been interested in make-up, fashion, style and things of that nature, so reading this book was very fun and fascinating for me.
Besides all the interesting facts in the book, I loved all the photographs included in it. You can read all you want, but to see what lipstick ads looked like in 1930, and to see how the definition of beauty has changed throughout the years was fascinating.
I certainly recommend this book to anybody interested in make-up and fashion and/or history.

An interesting, intricate alternate history.......2002-09-17
A rich tapestry of ideas and half-familiar characters, it's witty, and dark, and complex, and I like it a lot. I haven't read the book this is supposedly a sequel to, yet, but I certainly intend to now! I should note, I do tend to enjoy Victorian-flavored alternate history in general (like Phil Foglio's Girl Genius series, which is admittedly MUCH sillier than this). Papal assassins. A countdown to disaster. Massive neat-looking airships, and city streetcars that look like dragonflies ...
Colorful sequel still pales next to BW original.......2002-05-21
Another Luther Arkwright story? I just got to the point where I was beginning to understand the first one! Graphic author Bryan Talbot has given us another cross-universe tale involving everybody's favorite psionic-messiah. Though conspicuously inferior (even though it's in color) to the original series ý a circa late ý80ýs black and white ýscience-fictationalý story ýin nine partsý, it's still a massive romp.
IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF LUTHER ARKWRIGHT: The continuum in which Arkwright lives encompasses a reality composed of multiple universes called ýparasý ý each one being its own reality both divergent and convergent with others. While the inhabitants of most of these universes are oblivious to the existence of the others, the advanced (and highly secularized society) of ýPara 00.00ý has not only learned how to cross the multi-versal divide, but has taken it upon itself to police the continuum. Using high-technology and ýpsionicsý, they saved the continuum in the first series from a doomsday weapon fielded by a mysterious army called ýdisruptorsý. Luther Arkwright is 00.00ýs greatest weapon against multi-versal disruption, but even he is an alien to 00.00. Arkwright instead is the product of eons of genetic engineering meant to create a human with unmatched psy-powers, capable of crossing the barriers between parallel universes. As in the original AoLA, "Heart" involves some terrifying threat to the existence of the entire continuum, but focuses much of the action on a parallel in which the imperialistic powers of pre-WWI Europe were never wiped out. (In AoLA, the crown heads of Europe conspire to overthrow the fascist British regime descended from the 17th century theocratic protectorate of Oliver Cromwellýs Puritans and install a puppet king in his place; with Cromwellýs help, the weak Prince Charles is killed and his sister, the strong-willed Anne succeeds to the throne on Cromwellýs ouster. When the rest of Europeýs royalty is ýaccidentallyý killed in the climactic battle of AoLA, leaving Anne the sole surviving ruler, her kingdom is poised to become the greatest on Earth.) Got that?
A complex plot linked Lutherýs origins with the fate of the universe and that of the inhabitants of that specific para. Even when its plot wasn't clear AoLA excelled in its narrative, a peerless blend of graphic art and judicious use of prose and dialog in place of traditional comic technique of using thought-baloons. To sweeten things for people who insisted on having everything explained to them, Talbot crafted a wonderfully nuanced alternative earth, inspired by Europe in both its early fascist and terminal imperialist phases (AoLA appeared in the late 1980's when the cold war looked ready to take a dramatic turn).
"Heart " takes place nearly 20 years later and Britannia truly rules. While Princess Victoria, the tempestuous daughter of Anne and Luther, struggles under endless migraines, the empire faces threats from without and within. Anne's closest advisers are actually a cell of hardcore neo-Puritans, with a plan to reclaim power; while in Rome, a dying pope dispatches an assassin with orders to ensure that Anne "render her empire to the Church". Unknown to them all, a horrific psionic force is building strength across the many universes, primed to explode in days, already leaving hints of itself everywhere. Luther, who disappeared shortly after Anne's ascension, a feared victim of underground puritans, is of no help. Only Victoria, who may have inherited Luther's psi-capabilities, has a realization of something horrible and imminent. In frequent black-outs, she dreams of her twin brother Henry, murdered by puritan terrorists.
"Heart" is superb, but still less than AoLA. The colors are splashy, but lack the intricate detail that drove AoLA 's plot robs the sequel of its narrative force. Also missing...is Luther himself for large spans of the story - leaving poor Vicky to shoulder the burdens of heroism, which also deprives the story of as centralized character as Luther. When Luther does show up, he's more aloof than ever, unfortunately. Also missing is a good villain - the neo-puritans of this book are just a bunch of deluded fascists, possessing not a shred of the self-awareness of Cromwell in the first book. Their leader, Kray is too cartoonish (metaphorically and literally ý we first meet him as he poses for a portrait that looks more real than he does). Vain and hinting of racial tendencies that underlined Anglo-identity theory, he's a corseted, spectacled loser with shoulder pads and a bad haircut to go with his big dreams; only Queen Anne's growing dementia allows these guys to get as far as they do. Nothing underlines the futility of the puritans' cause as much as their slogan - "The Future Belongs to Us" (I wonder how long it took to dream that up). The joke of course is that there may not be a future to steal. The horrific force itself, when revealed, is essentially a blob, a force of nature without the character of those who invented the ýfire frostý weapon of the first series. The real menace of the original story was Luther and his untapped abilities, but that's sidelined in the sequel. Even Rosa Wylde, Lutherýs love of the first series is grayed here. With her hair in beads, Rosa looks a shadow of her former self. The end is much too pat and unsatisfying, revealing the disparity between two Arkwright epics. Still, it's an Arkwright story, one that you can get into if you've never read the first, and one that perhaps should be read first.
A remarkable admixture of the sacred and profane...........2001-11-22
This is simply the most intelligent, intricate graphic novel that I have ever read. It contains the most stark mixing of sacred and profane elements- and yet it works. To put it mildly, it works. It is a continuation of the story of the shaman/savior Luthor Arkwright (I fully recommend the original _The Aventures of Luthor Arkwright_). Every time you pick this book up you find something new in the complex story line or intricate artwork. Only a writer/artist could produce a work like this, for only a person who thinks in images could master the symbolist world view that it mirrors. Here you have alternate universe after alternate universe- yet all connected by underlieing currents and patterns. As above, so below.
Oh yes, it also has a healthy amount of English working class bloody mindedness- something that we in America are becoming increasingly familiar with as the corporate "upperclass" tries to turn this society into a rigid caste-based oligarchy....

So funny it caused me pain........1998-09-24
When I read this book I laughed so hard that I felt severe physical pain. Beyond the humor the book contains much valuable relationships advice. I always enjoy reading Mr. Gutfeld's articles in Mens' Health Magazine, and I am eagerly looking forward to his next book.
Satirical, yet true. Great buy!.......1997-12-22
I bought this book for my "boyfriend/mate/significant other/whatever" (who is always in the doghouse) for Christmas after seeing Gutfeld's interview on "Good Morning America," but can't bring myself to wrap it because I can't put it down! Gutfeld has penned the secret to satirical, but true, recipes for a man to maintain a relationship with a woman. Scenarios are hilarious, yet uncannily familiar. Great gift for anyone who can appreciate humor in a relationship, doghouse-fettered or not.
The Scorcard has points to spare.......1997-12-06
Author Gutfeld hilariously confirms what every man has secretly suspected when it comes to his relationship with a woman: no matter he does, he's always behind on the scoreboard of love and life. A great book to be shared around the watercooler with male--and female-colleagues, which balances silly irreverance with wickedly funny satire of every "relationship" book that has come along in the past few years.

Soft Skills for Hard Selling.......2006-01-23
Ever since Harvard's Daniel Goleman published "Emotional Intelligence" in the mid-1990s, experts in numerous fields have adopted his notion of E.Q. - emotional intelligence - as opposed to I.Q. - intellectual intelligence. Although E.Q. is most commonly applied in the fields of management and leadership, its strongest natural link may be to sales. Some sales professionals say buyers make decisions based as much on their emotional response to the salesperson as on their opinion of the product itself. Although he doesn't offer as much direct sales advice as the title might promise, author Mitch Anthony provides sales professionals with E.Q. tools they can use to compete more successfully. The content of the book is often fresh and original, although occasionally the author seems to be plowing fields of thought that he has tilled before. One of the book's strongest sections deals with applying the fundamentals of emotional intelligence to negotiations. We recommend this book to sales professionals who are seeking new perspectives that can lead to higher commissions.
