Amidst the wild popularity that the Left Behind series has enjoyed over the past few years, A. Wilson Rodgers offers an alternative take on the always intriguing yet often controversial "end times." Refreshingly though, The Return of Enlil is not a series of volumes trying to stretch the revelations dollar as far as humanly possible. It is one book that simply adds a few interesting questions to the discussion.
In what I would call prophesci-fi, The Return of Enlil paints past and future biblical stories with an extraterrestrial brush. From angels and chariots of fire to alien-like gods and spaceships, Rodgers suggests explanations to satisfy more than just religious seekers of truth.
But more importantly, I feel this book tickles at a much larger problem. Having divided even the Christian community, the fine line between metaphor and the literal has always been somewhat of a battleground for both believers and nonbelievers. Thoughtfully, Rodgers has found a way to blur that line and introduce an entirely different look at biblical accounts.
Aside from having morally cringed at the literary license taken in the judgment scene, I felt The Return of Enlil served an important purpose. For no matter whether i agreed or disagreed with the assumptions laid out in its pages, I constantly found myself anxious to revisit such biblical references. And understanding that this work was as much a labor of faith as it was love, I consider it to be successful in the sense that it makes readers stop and take another look at what they really believe.

The author, Mr. Rodgers, has used the story of the ancient mythological Sumerian gods to remind us of the constant battle between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness, which has been played out on Earth time and time again. I like the way he wrapped his story around, especially the Book of Revelations, depicting the final battle. It is an easy, enjoyable read.

Lost Desire

When I first saw this title I immediately when to Amazon's website to read the few pages offered as a sample. I was overblown of the information. At least that's what I thought it was. I thought it was an inside look of these Nibirian 'gods' inner workings that would reveal secrets and their affect on planet earth. I ordered it immediately but after doing so I began read information about the author. I was disappointed to learn that it was by a writer who had his own fascination about the stories of Sitchin and the Tablets of Enki. He being a fantasy writer stated that this particular story of his is based on Sitchin's stories. This revealed to me the notion that it was NOT an authentic account on history, that there wasn't any truth to it nor at least as true as the Tablets themselves. I therefore lost interest. I have been on my own personal quest to gain information on the actual history of the planet earth. While I am open to the contributions of other sources such as cultures, and other sources, I am NOT open to someone's fantasy writing. I don't want to ingest someone's wishful thinking or play of story to satiate his own creative writing appetite. His playing on the reputation and energy of an established collective interest on this subject. No, not happening. Todate I've had this book for about 30 days and I'm sad to say I've not only avoided reading it but feel the sting of wasting my money.
