Summary

Human history traced from our once-upon-a-time origins, through the great disaster that nearly wiped the human race from the planet. From an insignificant family of displaced nomads, kings and poets arise who will shape human destiny.

The spinal cord of the world's oldest and most influential book - the story line of the Old Testament reduced to a gripping tale, told with warmth and wit. The essence of the Bible - true to the text, true to the spirit, eminently understandable.

Fascinating Biblical Retelling

As an English person, I found it amusing to have all of the biblical characters portrayed as Europeans, mainly from the UK. There are a few French and German representatives too! So I could doubly relate to this narrative.

It’s an amazing chronological journey through the Bible. The author skilfully combines the historical narrative with the prophetic interjections given by each prophet. He perfectly makes the Bible approachable. He starts off by saying that the Bible narrative is not a fable or a fairy tale but narrates it in an approachable folklore style, which makes it easy to absorb. I found this engaging and would read it again and again.
