Synopsis

Human history is 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. Fascinating characters, fast moving action and sparkling humor track the thread of the original Bible story, allowing the narrative to live afresh today. What others have said the story line of the Bible reduced to a gripping tale, told with wit and warmth. This is the spinal cord of the world's oldest and most influential book (Charles Price) respectful yet readable, insightful and invigorating. (J. John) the drama, the wonder and the life changing impact of the Bible (Julie Sheldon) a book that simply tells the story - and just the story! It's brilliant! (Jennifer Larcombe) exposes the emotion of each moment with subtle details that form a new picture in one's mind. (Richard Dodding) the essence of the Bible-true to the text, true to the Spirit, eminently readable. (R. Paul Stevens)
