The companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series that reveals the identity of mankind’s ancient gods Explains why these gods from Nibiru, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered Homo sapiens, gave Earthlings civilization, and promised to return 30,000 sold in hardcoverZecharia Sitchin’s bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity’s side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, those who from heaven to earth came.
In The Lost Book of Enki we now view this saga from the perspective of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki leader revered in antiquity as a god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials’ arrival on Earth from the planet Nibiru.
In his previous works Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki’s impact on human civilization from fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves.

8. The Pilgrim's Progress: Both Parts and with Original Illustrations
Author: by John Bunyan
Suzeteo Enterprises
English
264 pages
Many editions of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress only have the first half, which follows the journey of Christian, written c.1678. They omit the second part, written c. 1684, where Christian’s wife, Christiana, follows her husband. This edition, however, has both parts together as a single volume.
Moreover, it contains the original illustrations by Frederick Barnard (which were engraved by the Dalziel brothers) and an index of Bible references Bunyan cited. These features allow the modern reader to experience the full weight of this classic allegory. Bunyan began writing this work while imprisoned for not obeying the state church in England.
Still, Bunyan considered life’s trials to be mild compared to the prospect of eternal separation from God. He reminds us that we are only pilgrims here; our home is elsewhere. To get there, we must mind our step.
