From the time of Enoch through the time of Christ giants roamed the earth. Sound like fiction? You won’t think so if you read any of the now 8 books in the Chronicles of the Nephilim saga.
This episode of SER is a fascinating conversation with author, screenwriter, and filmmaker, Brian Godawa.
Brian’s Bio
Brian Godawa has been a professional filmmaker, writer, and visual artist for many years. He is the screenwriter for the award-winning feature film, To End All Wars, starring Kiefer Sutherland, and Alleged, starring Brian Dennehy as Clarence Darrow along with Fred Thompson as William Jennings Bryan.
Brian adapted to film the best-selling supernatural thriller novel The Visitation by author Frank Peretti for Producer Ralph Winter (X-Men, Planet of the Apes), and wrote and directed several documentaries, including Wall of Separation for PBS.
Brian’s scripts have won multiple awards, and his articles on movies and philosophy have been published around the world. He has traveled around the United States teaching on movies, worldviews, and culture to colleges, churches, and community groups.
His popular book, Hollywood Worldviews: Watching Films with Wisdom and Discernment has been released in a revised edition from InterVarsity Press and is used as a textbook in schools around the country. His book Word Pictures: Knowing God Through Story and Imagination (IVP) addresses the power of image and story in the pages of the Bible to transform the Christian life.
He is the author of the Chronicles of the Nephilim, a now 8 volume saga that will eventually reach 9 volumes.

Wow, great discussion! I love how these talks explore Biblical topics that are often completely ignored by most pastors.
I just ordered Brian’s whole series on Audible. Can’t wait to go through them.
Hi Steve:
You are going to love them. Brian is an amazing storyteller. I pray for you and the brethren there often. By the way, I am going to be doing a Prophecy Update on New Year’s Eve starting at 7pm EST. We will be broadcasting it on the internet via http://www.cclohio.org Lots of interesting things to talk about.
Blessings,
Mike
I think I listened carefully to the discussion, and correct me if I’m wrong…but there was no mention of the Holy Spirit guiding Brian through any of his writings nor praise to God for inspiring him to do these works. Seems to me if God isn’t involved in the works we do, then they are the works of a mans spirit. If I were to spend my time reading Brian’s book(s), would I be edified? Would I find practical application to my being baptized into the Messiah, and He in me?
Thank you for your time,
BW
Hi Bud:
Thank you for taking the time to listen and write. I cannot answer your question of whether or not you would be edified. That is a work of the Holy Spirit in you and is done with God’s purposes for you in view.
Mike
