Many have heard about the Book of Enoch, a fascinating extra-biblical tale of a seer’s heavenly journey, fallen angels, giants, and visions of God’s throne. But few realize that there is more than one ancient book ascribed to the famed biblical hero. This volume is a collection of updated and easy-to-read modern English translations of three The Book of Watchers (1 Enoch), The Book of Secrets (2 Enoch), and The Book of Palaces (3 Enoch). Countless readers of Enoch enjoy ancient stories but are often discouraged by struggling through the obscure and archaic language of older translations. This new and updated translation removes such obstacles. This collection of three visions of Enoch is supplemented with study footnotes to aid curious readers and students of ancient apocryphal and Jewish literature alike. So, immerse yourself into the world of Enoch literature, and now not only read the stories, but listen to them in audio format!

3 different books with a Revelationy atmosphere.
1 Enoch: The big one, the cool one, the one that mattered. The beginning, the book of watchers, is the most interesting part. With the story of fallen angels, Nephilim, heavenly realms, and divine judgement. Enoch, for a smart guy, was against accumulation of knowledge. Also 1 Enoch has a lot of messianic prophecies about the son of man; more than any Old testament book. It has an astronomy section too. I didn't know the sun and the moon were the same size till Enoch told me. Then it has an animal farm-esque dream covering all of history. Plus a weird tale of the birth of Noah, who was apparently albino.
2 Enoch: Enoch tours the circles of heaven (described in Dante-esque style). Some of the circles really suck. He comes back for 30 days to tell the tale then reascends. Later Melchizedek, the mysterious type of Christ, is virgin birthed.
3 Enoch: Enoch has now been promoted to Metatron, the Decepticon angel. Then it talks about how angel x bowed down to angel y, and angel y bowed down to angel z, and angel z bowed down to angel food cake and so on. Then it says holy holy holy a lot, which is hilarious in the AI read audiobook because the AI tries to vary its speech patterns, leading to a fantastic variety of holy holy holys. This was easily the weirdest of the 3 books.
