Reading 'The Books of Enoch' was like uncovering a hidden treasure. The detailed descriptions of angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim gave me chills—it’s not your typical Sunday school material. I found myself pausing every few pages to cross-reference with my Bible, and the connections were mind-blowing.

One night, I stayed up until 3 AM reading about the 10 layers of heaven. The way Enoch describes God’s throne and the hierarchy of angels made me feel like I was peeking into a cosmic blueprint. It’s wild to think this was left out of modern Bibles.

The commentary by Joseph Lumpkin is gold. He doesn’t just dump ancient text on you—he ties it to familiar scripture (like when Jesus or Paul references Enoch) and leaves room for your own discernment. I dog-eared so many pages that my copy now looks like a porcupine.

Fair warning: This isn’t cozy bedtime reading. The passages about hell and fallen angels are intense enough that I had to take breaks. But that’s exactly why it’s valuable—it confronts you with raw, unfiltered spiritual concepts most churches gloss over.

After finishing, I bought three extra copies for friends who love deep theological rabbit holes. If you’re tired of surface-level faith studies, let Enoch wreck your perspective (in the best way). Just don’t blame me when you start side-eyeing your standard Bible translation.
