In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

Professional adventurers, Tony Rodgers, Bruce Spencer, and Cameron Harper, have been given a letter describing that they have been chosen to find an ancient city that the world has never been able to locate yet. They started following the clues given and go through many different locations and challenges, but things don't go as well as they hope, especially when evil follows closely behind their trails. Will they be able to uncover the mystery and find the city, or will the evil overcome them and take control of everything?

Dr. Michael S. Heiser presents fifteen years of research on what the Bible really says about the unseen world of the supernatural, unfiltered by tradition or by theological presuppositions. Who were the sons of God? Who were the Nephilim? Where do angels fit into the supernatural hierarchy? What relation does Jesus bear to the rest of the supernatural world? Heiser tackles these questions and many more as he shines a light on the ancient context of Scripture. After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. In Supernatural, Heiser takes the core message from his recent best-seller, The Unseen Realm, and presents it for the person in the pew. He offers the same approach to reading and understanding Scripture, but without all the extra footnotes and supporting information needed for the scholarly treatment. “We can’t believe what we don’t understand. In Supernatural, Michael Heiser helps us to do both. It may open your eyes to the scripture in a new way.” —John Ortberg, author of If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat

The book pulls you in from the beginning. Thea is destined for greatness!" - Liz Dulac, Advanced Reader"Meet Thea, the independent, sassy and hard working protagonist who stands up for herself and for others without a second thought. Thea's used to being on her own and handling what comes her way, but when she starts seeing creatures that are not of this world, she begins questioning her own sanity. That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger who not only believes her, but knows exactly what she's seeing. She forms a fast and furious bond with this mystery man who she dubs "Matthew", and the two decide to figure out exactly why and how these beings from another realm came to be here.I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely could not put it down and I devoured it in one sitting. Though I started off loving Thea, I was not her biggest fan by the end of the book. I loved how tenacious and outspoken she was, but it goes to show that sometimes our strengths can be our weaknesses as well. A loud mouth can be a wonderful thing at the right time and place, but Thea has yet to master the art of knowing when and where to spout off. With that being said, I loved her connection with "Matthew". Well, I loved Matthew. He was all of my celebrity crushes jammed into one massive package and I was thrilled! As soon as we were introduced to him, it was game over for me and I knew I was pulling an all-nighter. I loved unraveling themysteries with these characters and I am very excited to see where the next installment in the series takes us!" - Lindsay Hall, Advanced Reader
