A rare blending of the Bible account with information from sciences, archeology, ancient traditions and other sources. Reads as easily as a story, yet teaches actual history.

2022: I reread this earlier this month to see if I wanted to pass it on to the kids to read. I have a better understanding about Bible culture history than I did a couple of years ago and see nothing in this book that directly contradicts what we know from Scripture. I plan to have Selah read this next.


2020: This book is on my kids' homeschool reading recommendations list but they've never read it. I'm really glad I read it first because, while I do think it's a valuable story, I don't think it's wise to have children read it without a lot of discussion throughout. A lot of reviewers have gotten fired up about this book but she prefaces that it's speculation---imagination---she never claimed it was historical in every way! I really loved the beginning when she imagined life in the Garden of Eden and man's relationship with God and nature. As the book progressed, I liked it less, but I think that's because she spent a lot of time "making the case" for Enoch. I just don't know what I think about the Book of Enoch but I do know that no one alive today knows the true story. I also liked her imagination of the tie between Shem and Terah, the father of Abraham. I've always wondered how Abraham ended up following God---maybe this is how! ( )

I love this story. The author uses the Bible to weave the story of Adam and his descendants through Abraham. It makes it very clear that there was an oral history which was not that far removed from Adam, because of the long lifespans, for Abraham to receive. Also, it's a great story. ( )

This book adds flesh to the first eleven chapters of Genesis by using the biblical setting as the basis for historical fiction. Beechick remains in the realm of plausibility by not creating new characters. ( )
