About this listen
Six Giant Assassins. Goliath Was Only the First.
Everyone thinks they know the story of David.
No one has heard it told this way before.
In the days of Samuel, Israel’s worst enemy is the Philistines: bloodthirsty worshippers of Dagon the fish god.
Goliath is but one member of an elite warrior cult of six giants, The Sons of Rapha, whose sole ambition is to kill the promised messiah king of Israel.
As David rises, he must flee the demon-possessed King Saul, avoid assassination, withstand the seduction of a Philistine queen, conquer the last of the giants in Israel, and overcome his own weakness for many wives.
This gritty romantic action-adventure story will take you places in the Bible you’ve never seen before. There is so much more to the story than you ever realized.
The War of the Seed continues.
David Ascendant is the seventh book of the series Chronicles of the Nephilim, a biblical epic story of the fallen angelic Watchers and their offspring, the Nephilim giants of Genesis 6.
Written by respected Christian and best-selling Biblical author, Brian Godawa.
On the age appropriateness of the novels
This Biblical Fiction series is rated PG-13, appropriate for mature teens and above, similar to the Bible and The Lord of the Rings.

Story
What does the Bible really say about the end times? There are so many Christians teaching outrageous speculation about end times Bible prophecy these days. It's enough to frustrate the serious Bible student. What if you found out most of it is simply mistaken? What if you found out that the ancient Jewish writers were using Old Testament imagery of the past, not a crystal ball gaze into our modern future?

Story
Do you watch movies with your eyes open? You buy your tickets and concessions, and you walk into the theater. Celluloid images flash at 24 frames per second, and the hypnotic sequence of moving pictures coaxes you to suspend disbelief and be entertained by the implausible. Unfortunately, many often suspend their beliefs as well, succumbing to subtle lessons in how to behave, think, and even perceive reality.

Story
The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars is book one of a three part series that tells of the fascinating story of the fall of Lucifer. Lucifer, God's perfect creation and who dwelt in his very presence, walked in the midst of the stones of fire. Yet rose up to betray the Lord and bring Heaven itself to civil war. Many tales have referenced this great angelic war but few have sought to explore the dynamic relationships between God and the angelic hosts. Why did a third of heaven seek to overthrow their creator?

Story
With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Might anyone have resolved to interview those last few before it was too late, it being a matter of mind-boggling importance? What if someone had? Mysterium I: Rome presents the story of a young Roman scholar who determines to do precisely that.

Amazing Must Read for all
The story's in these books are an amazing read for anyone, but Christian's who want to learn more about the old testament should give these 9 books a read. The author does an amazing job of using a factual Biblical framework and logical storytelling to create an amazing series of books. I do advise you start with book one since the stories and characters build upon itself. Plus it will make the names and name changes much easier to follow. In the audio versions their are parts of the story that are so dramatic that it will get your heart rate up. The stories are so familiar but new in a exciting way. God truly gave the author a gift of storytelling.

Great Job by Godawa
Brian Godawa does a great job of bringing to life the stories of the Torah. Some of the descriptions are gory, barbaric and lascivious not meant for the young or squeamish. I would give it a five if there was are more PG version but I am great full for Godawa's use of the Torah and other ancient texts such as the book of Jasher and the Zohar. I have followed the whole series and wait for the next one Jehoshua on audio.

I think this series is underrated. It is very well researched and has a solid reference appendix. The narration was top notch and it was only after finishing the audio book that I realized that it was narrated by the author. I wish the world was as fantastical today as historically described in this book. Myths and legends do have some truth as it’s kernel and we see similar deities as part of folklore across disparate parts of the world that had no ways to communication, transmission or intermingling, that does raise some curiosities in the mind of a thoughtful thinker.
