Customer Reviews

Very closely matches The Bible Scriptures.

I found The Long Journey very enlighting and most enjoyable. You forget that you've read this story in the Bible many times.It is as if you never read it before and you haven't, not like this. Many little things become so real. Hagar for instance has always seemed to be just a servant. The book makes her become a real person with a real life and one who loves her child. She would die for her child and almost did. Sarah was always the perfect one and now the realization begins that she was a very real person and not someone who only lives in the Bible. This is must reading for anyone who is a Bible Scholar. My husband also enjoyed this book very much and he is definately a Bible Scholar. It is very unusual for him to read and really like a book of fiction. He has been a Minister and Bible Researcher for over 65 years. He is 93 years old and i've never seen him enjoy a book so much other than The Bible. You will become lost inside the pages in an era of long ago. It is an excellent author that can take you to the places and the people that the book is written about. I saved Abraham for last because he was brought to life inside the book. We always think Abraham had it so easy because he was chosen of GOD. We find out that he was subject to human errors, fear and all the other human feelings and shortcomings that we experience. A wonderful book whether you love history or just want a good book to enjoy. It is great for either. Thank You, Sylvia Kolenda
