We got a copy here in West Branch about a month ago. It was interesting but I was disappointed that the section on the Red Planet was so short. The rest of the book was just a rehash of Gnostic teachings that were discredited in the 2nd century.

We got a copy here in West Branch about a month ago. It was interesting but I was disappointed that the section on the Red Planet was so short. The rest of the book was just a rehash of Gnostic teachings that were discredited in the 2nd century.

Yup. We opted to send it to our book sale, and one of my staff immediately bought it for the giggles. We were shocked by the origin, too.
