I loved reading this novel which aims to tell of the biblical events in a continuous story telling manner. It is great for getting a grasp of the Old Testament in an easy to read way. ( )

"This author researched the times and conditions of the events. He did not compromise the Bible. His approach is unique. I recommend that all read Wangerin's The Book of God." LOL reader ( )
