Book excerpt: Why is this book important? This book is the first in a series that will use exciting stories set in Bible times to present and argue my core belief that civilizations do not collapse because of poor economies, harsh regimes, or even incompetence in the governing body; these are only symptoms of the true disease. When the people lose sight of God, that is when a benevolent government begins to decline and is replaced by an evil one. I believe that by examining the destruction of ancient societies, we can better understand the dangers now threatening ours. A legend lost to the ages… At the dawn of human history, a cosmic struggle begins. Strange men visit one of the first settlements of man and take women as their wives. Not long after, the men disappear as mysteriously as they came, leaving their seven sons behind. The boys grow up in the village, but the other inhabitants are distrustful of them. At the age of twelve, when the boys begin to show frightening similarities to their fathers, the peoples’ fear reaches a fever pitch. The seven boys are soon banished and flee to the land of Nod, far to the east. The seven brothers come to be known as the Nephilim, leaders of the largest civilization of mankind. However, some of the Nephilim begin to realize that evil forces are manipulating them and the people of their city. Will the Nephilim lead the human race into a bright future, or will they be the instruments of its destruction?
