Best apocrypha book out there!
This is a very well researched book. These scriptures are valuable to our time and need to be restored. There are a couple of points I disagreed with but as a whole this is needed in this time of deception we live in. I hope they keep restoring the scriptures and removing the doctrines of men. Great Book!Lee

Most Of Christendom Correct About (All Of) These Books
Similar to how The God Culture insists on all of their Levite Bible series publications to include the same content used between them, so too will my reviews of their books include a crucial disclaimer, which will in like manner be found at the beginning of each of my own.Having read all of The God Culture's Levite Bible publications, they would each receive up to a full 5 stars, yet they will all lose one star without exception for their dismissal of historically validated, trusted, and inspired Scriptural books including: (Greek) Esther, Judith, and the books of Maccabees (1 & 2 in particular). Their biased pedestaling the Zadokite priests of Qumran the way they are--using arguments from silence and other fallacies-- mislead their readers (and viewers) to inappropriately question and reject these valuable Scriptures. This serves as a detriment to the Body of Messiah, while discrediting the efforts of their otherwise phenomenal defense and interconnecting of other neglected Scriptures beyond the Protestants' 66 books.I have followed their video work since 2018, and purchased all their printed books in English from the beginning, yet this constant axe grinding has been a consistent frustration and disappointment to me, especially after thoroughly testing their claims to "prove all things" for myself [1 Thess 5:21].Those interested in apologetics for their defense can find a 5-part blog article series about the books on Substack, by searching up The God Culture under Posts.Now for the review specific to this particular book of theirs:The last third of this book's worth of content (nearly 100 pages) deserves an utter disregarding rejection, perhaps even a ripping out of these pages (if it were possible to maintain its binding). The slander and trashing of several of the 1611 KJV's books (found in the back of the book's "Testing Occult Books") is not to be taken lightly, and their ill-formed biases have been driven by a confirmation bias that stains the rest of their otherwise valuable work's credibility and witness.Yes, we as Believers are admonished to prove all things for ourselves [1 Thess 5:21], but the sensationalized rejection of these valuable Scriptural texts serves as a disservice to their readers seeking the truth, found in the totality of Scripture.The skewed lens dismissing the restoration of some of the Northern Tribes to Samaria and other Promised Land areas serves them to create a novel paradigm twisting the documention to the contrary, as being Samaritan and Hasmonean propaganda.Their failure to understand the chronology and geography of Esther and the dispersed Israelites all across the vast Persian Empire was driven by an uninformed and misplaced insistence that all the faithful Israelites had to return to the Temple, when the examples of alternative Temples at Elaphanitine Island and Leontopolis prove otherwise.A long-descredited paralleling of Esther to the pagan Enuma Elish story gets utilized, yet as with most other scholarly attempts to marginalize and discredit Scripture, this iteration also ignores how the accounts have more and greater differences than their contrived parallels.The many parallels between the prophecies of Daniel and their many fulfillments in the books of Maccabees is unnerving, and their innovative "Maccabean Invosion" view is a contrivance stemming from a mistaken and sensationalized reading of a few Dea Sea Scroll fragments, their intolerant bias against the Maccabees/Hasmoneans being superimposed on the Dea Sea community in error. The reality is that there were allegiences between the group and the Dynasty, as the scrolls demonstate this, as do scholars commenting on them.Nonetheless, there is still plenty of redeeming qualities that make this 2nd volume worthwhile.The thorough historical apologetics for Tobit found here is likely one of a kind, and is a much needed redeeming effort for this most important book.Arguments for the Solomonic authorship of The Book of Wisdom would have been helpful, including but not limited to linguistic evidences of it not merely being a product of Hellenism but rather of ancient Semitic origin. Efforts made towards demonstrating its continuity with the rest of Scripture are still appreciated, as is the case with the rest of the books that The God Culture ends up accepting between these two volumes.Continuity with the Daniel tradition is demonstrated for Susanna, Prayer of Azaryah/Song of the 3 Youths, and Bel And The Dragon, including a direct connection to the Dead Sea Scrolls themselves.As with their other shortcoming in depending on merely the KJV as their textual basis, so too is there the unfortunate consequence here. The Greek textual traditions of some of these books would have been a helpful mention and attestation, as there are alternative manuscripts (with variants) of Tobit, the Daniel "Additions."

Not good for kindle
A bad pdf. You can't increase the size of the font or change the font, on top of that some of the pages are blurry! I wouldn't bother. If you are going to offer it on kindle, do it properly.
