There probably isn't anybody around who hasn't wondered now and then where things came from. How did the universe begin? How did the world get here? Where and how did human beings get started? Patriarchs and Prophets is a book about the beginning of things. In fascinating, easy-to-read language, it describes exactly how the planet Earth—and the people who live on it—began.
If you've ever been dismayed by all the evil in the world and wondered where it began, this book will tell you that too. Evil, you will discover as you read these pages, didn't even begin here on Earth. It is an unwelcome import from another part of the universe.
Few people today realize that the evil all around us is the visible evidence of a great was that has raged in the inverse for thousands of years now. Patriarchs and Prophets is one of the only books available anywhere that can reveal with accuracy and authority just how and why this great war began and who is behind it.
After you read this book, you'll want to know more. You can then read the ensuing four books, but start with this one. And remember—even though what you are about to read may astonish you and seem incredible—it is 100 percent non-fiction. Every word is true.
