The UFO-Jesus Connection (Paperback)

by David E. Twichell (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new. However, no one seems to want to take the matter to the next logical step. If Ezekiel’s "wheel within a wheel" and Moses’ "pillar of fire and cloud" were forerunners of today’s UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant cloud to which Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein. When Biblical descriptions of anomalous aerial phenomena are overlaid on that of modern-day UFO reports, the picture seems to meld as one. Once the evidence has been presented, the reader is led to a conclusion that is at best convincing and at least thought provoking.

About the Author
Mr. Twichell was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948. He served in the US Army in Germany from 1969 til 1971. Although he worked as a Diemaker for the Ford Motor Co. since the age of eighteen, he has been an avid student of the Bible, the UFO/abduction and psychic phenomena since his own close encounter sighting in 1962.

5.0 out of 5 stars Open mind required, April 25, 2005

By	Moongirl2001 "moongirl2001" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

The name of this book is very deceiving. In the first chapter the author recounts the stories of Ezekiel wheel and the Exodus from the bible and how they could have been UFO's. Then for the next several chapters the author tells his own stories of his paranormal experiences. Mostly ghosts, OBE's & NDE's. Although these stories were very interesting and I enjoyed them, that is not why I bought the book. The author however makes up for things near the end of the book, that is when things start to get interesting, very interesting. He talks about little known facts regarding the shroud of Turin and isolated people who will believe that anyone is god. He mentions the missing books of the bible and from the quotes he has listed it is easy to see why. This book was very easy to read and very hard to put down. I really enjoyed it, however I must warn you not to read this book if you don't have an open mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make the Connection, July 29, 2002

By	"deckaa" (Dearborn, MI United States) - See all my reviews

David E. Twichell makes the connection between what you think you know about the Bible, UFO's, and Jesus' life and times and what you were always told was so, much more interesting and a lot more exciting! He also adds his own poignant encounter(s) with the unexplained for more than good reason. Twichell's explorations and investigations into the UFO enigma and biblical scholarship will undoubtedly urge any thinking reader to re-examine their own beliefs - and with good reason! Any writer, who can do this, is simply brilliant and Twichell is no exception.

David E. Twichell is surely to be added to the growing list of luminaries who has bloomed out the once "old staunch mid-west" view of the world. This surprising new view which Twichell embodies is breathing fresh air onto the ever-explanding landscape of inner / outer exploration, enlightenment and personal core knowledge.

The UFO - Jesus Connection is a most splendid adventure and well worth the readers' time and investment. I highly recommend this book to you. The UFO-Jesus Connection will challenge what you think know and you will come away knowing what you never thought was so!

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs much more depth., June 13, 2007

By	Noe Torres "texas_bookworm" (Edinburg, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Fascinated by the topic, I devoured this book in less than two hours, but it was quite unsatisfying. Mr. Twichell deserves credit for floating his ideas out there, but the book reads like a high schooler's essay drawn from only a handful of Internet sources. There's no magic behind the curtain, only a feeling of emptiness. The book suffers from too much unsubstantiated speculation, too many irrelevent personal asides about family, and not enough first-hand research and investigation. The author begins by asking the right questions, but unfortunately never successfully or substantively draws us closer to a single answer. If you're looking for substance and a scholarly approach, seek out the masters, Erich Von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin.
