LONGWOOD, FL-All is not well inside the Secret Place of Theos or within the Land of Greater Nede. Dark forces have arisen among the Qerubim that are challenging the authority of the High Lord. Into this unnatural conflict, two innocent sapiens have unknowingly stumbled. Invited by Lord Theos, Mada and Ishah leave their home and family to follow the Creator's call. Unspeakable adventures await them, along with heart-rending tragedy. Selected to be the forebears of the Adama, Mada, and Ishah face their new life together as husband and wife in Edwin Woolsey's And There Were Giants: Into the Land of Nede ($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-599-6). This novel creates a harmonious blend of the themes of science and religion, fantasy and reality, tradition and dogma.
Says the author, "It is my hope that [when] individuals read [my book], they will gain a brand new appreciation for the very real human accounts portrayed in the book of Genesis. Genesis is not as much about 'creation' as it is the establishment of human relationships for the family and within society at large. In a very modern world, we need to rediscover one of the oldest stories ever told."
A lifelong student of the Bible and an educator whose discipline is science, Woolsey found that much of Scripture was an enigma, and the book of Genesis was an absolute gold mine for letting his imagination run wild. In his novel, he used fantasy to create the possibility of what might have been, a mystery which holds universal appeal.
