Zusters en routeDe congregatie van de Aanbidding van de Gerechtigheid Gods Zusters van Christus Verlosser bestond al bijna tachtig jaar toen zich in 1903 donkere wolken samenpakten. Een groot conflict tussen de Franse staat en de katholieke kerk leidde ertoe dat veel ordes en congregaties hun toevlucht zochten in het buitenland.

De congregatie van de Aanbidding van de Gerechtigheid Gods / Zusters van Christus Verlosser bestond al bijna tachtig jaar toen zich in 1903 donkere wolken samenpakten. Een groot conflict tussen de Franse staat en de katholieke kerk leidde ertoe dat veel ordes en congregaties hun toevlucht zochten in het buitenland. In het najaar van 1903 arriveerde de eerste zusters van de aanbidding in Linne en Stramproy. Zij hadden geen middelen van bestaan en spraken geen Nederlands. Zij gingen echter niet bij de pakken neerzitten en begonnen met kleuteropvang en zieken- en bejaardenverpleging. Onderwijs en zorg bleven zo’n honderd jaar de voornaamste werkterreinen van de zusters. In 1925 en 1936 werden respectievelijk kloosters geopend in Geulle en Baarlo.


In tegenstelling tot moederland Frankrijk bleef de congregatie in Nederland bescheiden van omvang. De betekenis van de zusters voor de plaatselijke gemeenschappen was echter groot! Als kleuterleidster, onderwijzeres, zieken- en bejaardenverzorgster hebben zij zich weggecijferd ten dienste van de mensen. Hun werk werd na de Tweede Wereldoorlog professioneler. In Geulle en Stramproy stichtten de zusters de bejaardenhuizen Ave Maria en Rust in Roy. Ook in het Afrikaanse Burkina Faso waren de zusters van Christus Verlosser succesvol werkzaam. Niet in het minst dankzij de steun uit Nederland.


In Zusters en route wordt de geschiedenis van de congregatie in Nederland beschreven, waarbij de ontwikkelingen in Geulle meer nadruk krijgen.

Deze uitgave is een samenwerkingsverband tussen de stichting Vrienden van Ave Maria, Antoine Jacobs en uitgeverij Leon van Dorp.

Thorough and careful research but I do disagree on some points
Format: Paperback
Review for 'When Giants Were Upon the Earth". As a Christian Bible reader of many years, I was not sure what I was getting myself into by buying and reading this book. ( I do have other books that are not part of the Bible such as Mr. Godawa mentions for reference.) Mr. Godawa has made careful and thorough research on the subject of the Nephilim which is only briefly mentioned in the Bible. He has broadened my understanding of little known facts about the giants and the pagan beliefs of other cultures. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that a Hollywood screenwriter would do justice to the teachings of God. I do disagree with him about his ideas about satan - I believe he is an individual spirit being and the leader of the other angels that revolted in Heaven. In the New Testament we note that he is ruler of this world John 12:31, he transforms himself into an angel of light II Cor 11:14 and he is also a roaring lion 1 Peter 5:8. I am not totally finished with this book yet but I am hoping that there is information on Nimrod. I would recommend this book for Christian readers who want Bible information 'fleshed out' and explained and about the sons of God, the Nephilim etc.

What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School
Format: Paperback
Often when reading through the Bible, whether one does so for religious reasons or not, we miss details in the background. Or we do not take into consideration cultural context while interpreting passages. Sometimes, due to difficulties in translating ancient languages into modern ones, some things are literally lost in translation. In this volume, where Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues. In particular, he focuses on topics that have long mystified people and been the subject of much conjecture and fictionalization: Nephilim, Watchers and giants. He also takes a close look at verses that may have had supernatural elements inadvertently scrubbed: The strange ariel creatures in 2 Samuel 23:20 translated instead into men, or the demons and goblins of Isaiah 13:21-22 written off as wild animals, etc. Clues to a different ancient world than usually supposed? The only misstep is his adherence to the John Walton ANE interpretation. This is based on superficial interpretation, and worse history (e.g. the whole ANE "dome" interpretation of creation is largely mythical). Walton's books haves done a huge disservice in undermining biblical inerrancy. See Hugh Ross' Rescuing Inerrancy for more on Walton and others who aren't too good at biblical study. There's a lot of food for thought in these pages. For more, see and .

Great supplement to Bible study
Format: Paperback
Stimulating reading for science-minded and biblically minded readers. The author who wrote this book has a lot to say about some of the strange images we read about in the Bible. Giants, flying reptiles, satyrs, fauns, denizens, angels, demons, etc. Once I read this, I began realizing that much of the strange things we see in the world outside the Bible are about as realistic as some of these images mentioned in the Bible. The battle between our minds and our souls carries on.

Informational but not what I expected.
Format: Paperback
The facts as they relate to the bible and some other scripts are good, but it would have been better if they were backed up with scientific facts and Egyptian findings. This would have given a broader and more open-minded big picture. I was disappointed overall.
