"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them..." Gen. 6:4 (KJV) It didn't take long after creation before Satan, in his jealousy toward the newly created humans, found a way to manipulate them into trading perfection for the death that comes through sin. But God still loved them anyway. Satan vowed to find a way to destroy them himself, so he charged one of his most devious minions, Azazel, with two tasks to reach his goal. He was to teach the humans war and corrupt the human bloodlines. This led to the birth of the Nephilim; giants who were to wreak havoc on the people of the earth. Standing in his way was Enoch, a man who "walked with God". When Azazel devises a plan to kill him, he discovers that he is up against an obstacle even larger than his giant sons; the immovable faith of Enoch and his son, Methuselah. With the help of the Creator and a few giant friends of their own, they are able to triumph over colossal evil in this action-packed adventure set during the pre-flood era of the earth.

"And he made his son pass through the fire..." 2 Chronicles 33:6a In book one of The Methuselah Chronicles (Giants in the Earth), Azazel's mission was to use his giant sons, the Nephilim, to corrupt the human bloodlines and teach men how to make war. In so doing, he destroyed many by using man's own innate aptitude for evil. Ultimately, the Creator foiled his plan through the unwavering faith of Enoch, who "walked with God," and his son, Methuselah, who was learning through his father's example to do the same. However, another Fallen One, Simyaza, embarked on his own diabolical mission eight years later. Simyaza's plan takes a more direct approach to the destruction of mankind: fooling them into destroying themselves through deception and illusions. He finds it an easy task as man has only gotten better at tapping into his penchant for evil. When this devilish scheme is brought to the attention of King Seth, he calls on Enoch and Methuselah to stand in the gap and find a way to end the satanic plans of Simyaza. Along the way, they, and many others, learn valuable lessons about how God sees them, as opposed to how the enemy wants them to see themselves in this fast-paced story of adventure and redemption.
