Noah
No, I don’t have anything new to tell you about Noah, but I have surely felt like I was enduring 40 days and 40 nights of rain! In fact, I went to my door yesterday, opened it, and started calling the animals to see if they would line up 2 by 2 to get in. Unfortunately, all that water was IN my house, and so I have been very busy mopping and bailing. The tide has been stemmed, and I did read a bit last night. When I left off last night, Moses had begun to talk to Pharaoh.
I do enjoy this book, but it is a long read, and it does not move very fast. I still heartily recommend it for the sense of realness it gives to people we tend to think of as “Bible characters”. They weren’t characters. They were real people just like us, and this book helps show that. The cultural information is also great. So, let’s just keep reading, and I’ll try to start adding in some info from other sources to go with this book. Perhaps some information on the Pharaohs of this era???
