i think that the original sentence you 've heard is much better.
although God is one , but some times ,specially for respecting more, they use (GodS) , and off course it doesn't mean that we can have more than one God.
we use it in iran ,too.sometimes we say for example: Ali is the God of Grammer.) Of course that doesn't mean he should be the creator of grammer.but it means that he is the best in this field.
By the way, Don't you think that there may be a type mistake?
may be there was a mistake when they published the book .


hope it helps
