  • Removed around 309-400 AD.

    I have a copy of "List Books if the Bible" published in 1926. I was so happy to find another publication of the same book! I highly recommend reading the book of Barnabus, one of the lost books included in this publication. Barnabus spoke against festivals that men "broke the commandments of God" to celebrate. His writing was included in Christian circles until the church began to bring in pagans and make their "festivals" into the church's "holy days". Barnabus writings then got discarded. He speaks, among other things, about the last days when women would kill their children before they were born.

  • More info about bible personal.

    I read this book years ago and learned somethings that are not part of the bible. Like it takes an average time of forty days to get an answer or results from God. And there is other things too.

  • Opened my eyes even further

    This book is just what it says it is and worth every penny. I had to get it. I was amazed to read about young Jesus, and honestly - every page had something compelling and thought provoking. It is worth the buy and is on my prized bookshelf right next to my Holy Bible. I know most Religious scholars do not accept these ancient writings, but if for nothing other than history, it is worth the buy and read. Highly recommend.

  • Expanded and Interesting Addition to the Bible

    Needless to say, I have not finished this. It's like reading the whole Bible in just a few days. But, from what I have read, there are interesting accounts of the early days of Mary, Jesus as a newborn - speaking, no less - and people who do not appear in the modern day version of the Bible that you've never heard of before. It's a faster read than reading the King James version so you can move along rather quickly. All in all quite different from what I expected - but interesting none-the-less. It was worth ordering. In addition, there are drawings which further illustrate things that are covered in the narratives and helps you to better understand what was written.

  • Great and informative content

    Learned more about questions regarding scripture, which was the purpose of buying this book. The print is VERY small. It has great information and overall I would buy it again, but get a magnifying glass!

  • A book that I believe should be read

    I believe that every Christian should take sometime to read some of this book .It show someone the things that you never new about Christ and his background and that he was truly and man and the living God ..Also you should understand that most of this book shoes things that the main stream church's do not want you to read...

  • "Filling in the blanks"

    This book fills in the blanks about the childhood of Christ. It also gives the names omitted in the bible of unnamed people who can in contact with Jesus. I love this book.
