I came across this article that stated that there was in over-abundance of speculative fiction submissions (in the Christian market) that featured the Nephilim. This article is old (2012), but, I&#8217;m assuming this fact may still exist today?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you read any of these titles? If so, what did you think of them?<\/strong> I&#8217;m thinking of reading a few of them, just to see that I think! On one of the covers (Dark Sentences), the creature looks like a gorilla. I&#8217;m assuming this creature is supposed to be a Nephilim? Not sure since I have not read the book. I just assumed the Nephilim looked more like humans than animals. Double rows of teeth, six digits on each hand and foot&#8230;humanistic face. These creatures have crossed my mind for awhile now. Not sure when I&#8217;ll stop thinking about them, wondering about them. I guess they are soul-less, right?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\/bakery-romance-series\/\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/g.christianbook.com\/dg\/product\/cbd\/f400\/578729.jpg\" alt=\"Last of the Nephilim, Oracles of Fire Series #3   -     By: Bryan Davis\n\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1388892623l\/1266212.jpg\" alt=\"1266212\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1266533320l\/2090468.jpg\" alt=\"2090468\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1348336833l\/2287162.jpg\" alt=\"2287162\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1387711658l\/13020111.jpg\" alt=\"13020111\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1348329912l\/1030698.jpg\" alt=\"1030698\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1422804928l\/522617.jpg\" alt=\"522617\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1347940574l\/4532622.jpg\" alt=\"4532622\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1380856650l\/7816410.jpg\" alt=\"7816410\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1380857479l\/12362454.jpg\" alt=\"12362454\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.mikeduran.com\/2012\/04\/why-christian-fiction-writers-love-the-nephilim\/ I&#8217;ve been curiously fascinated with the Nephilim for years.
