"'Escaping from Eden' is this generation's 'Chariots of the Gods.'" 'Escaping from Eden' takes us on a journey that we will never forget. The incredible possibilities of our own existence. Thought provoking."
Regina Meredith, GAIA TV
“Paul Wallis is the new Von Daniken - I have sixty to seventy pages of THE SCARS OF EDEN dog-eared because, because it’s very rich. There is so much to take away from this book. This is a story that is evolving and has a tremendous impact on modern times. I highly encourage people to read it.”
Laura Eisenhower
“Incredible! Paul has written an amazing series and with what timing on this particular topic! Everything in our past has led up to what we are now experiencing and we need to be aware and make mindful choices. It is the most important thing right now.”
Barbara Lamb, Licensed Psychotherapist
"Paul Wallis’ work is really fascinating, and expresses his accountings in such a personable way. I have learned so very much from “The Scars of Eden.” I hope it will be well received and have a large audience!"
Sean Stone (Watching the Hawks, Buzzsaw)
"Courageous... gives us a new perspective on the creation and engineering of man."
Laura Christina
"It's half past two in the morning and I just cannot let your book down from my hands! The book is nicely written and easy to understand - considering that I am not a native English speaker! It's absolutely wonderful!"
Rhian Johns
"Gripping, challenging and thought provoking in equal measure! I read the book in two sittings, it is truly a gripping read. From the first paragraph it was clear that this was a book that would present questions that I'd not thought to ask before about the Genesis story - and I thought I'd asked quite a lot! And, by the end of the book I was not only desperate for more, but shocked at how little we, collectively know about ourselves, but more importantly how little we question assumed knowledge, assumed wisdom and assumed theology. Paul is an impressive writer and he's left me with a ton of questions, what more can you ask for in a book?
Mary Lynn
"Wallis is the NEW Daniken of this generation with new insight and knowledge that will have you convinced this is fact. Was delighted to discover his YouTube channel so have lots more to delve into. This is a game-changer and a book we will be talking about 100 years from now."
Tony Barrett (The 5th Kind TV, Ancient Revelations)
"A Masterpiece! Thank you, Paul Wallis, for taking the time to investigate, research and explore this subject surrounded by controversy."
A++++ Paul Wallis has encapsulated so much information into one book, 'Escaping from Eden.' Elaborations and baffling mysteries within humanity's history - Who created us? What is GOD? Why are we here? Excellent read and very informative. Great writing and the explanations are so well put that it's to doubt what is presented here."
