AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:
My review: I found this book immensely interesting! I love history of Biblical times, so this book was perfect for me. It was also very educational in that I didn't know much of the information it contained on the formation of Judaism or Islam, and of course I learned much about the formation and beginnings of my own faith! I would definitely recommend this book to others!
