“And I came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges itself into the great sea towards the west.   6. I saw the great rivers and came to the great river and to the great darkness, and went to the place where no flesh walks.   7. I saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place whence all the waters of the deep flow.   8. I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and the mouth of the deep.”
R.H. Charles, Book of Enoch: Spck Classic

“The insistence on the knowledge of intellectual mysteries, either as an indispensable addition to or as a substitute for simple obedience to the claims of the Christian life, has always been a weakness of the Church.”
R.H. Charles, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Daniel

“But the great mercy of the Lord had pity on thee and thy family, and will strengthen thee, and establish thee in His glory. Only be not thou careless, but take courage, and strengthen thy family. For as the smith hammering his work conquers the task which he wills, so also doth righteous discourse repeated daily conquer all evil. Cease not therefore to reprove thy children; for I know that if they shall repent with all their heart, they shall be written in the books of life with the saints.”
R.H. Charles, The Lost Books of the Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden
