Heart of a Lion series

Giblert Morris has a great imagination, and fills in a lot of gaps in his stories. I wish he had continued the series though and not ending it with the story of Rahab. These books would probably encourage readers to search the Bible to check out the stories to see if they match. It would be a great way to get people to know more about Jesus other than He was born in Bethlehem, and died in Jerusalem.

Great Book about Noah

This was a great book about Noah and his family. It really put the bible to life. I loaned this book out to several friends, and they could not put the book down. One friend read the book in one day, not going to bed until 5 am! I highly recommend this book - it really made me want to study the story of Noah in depth.

Wonderful, thought-provoking.

I thought this adaptation of the life of Noah was wonderful! I find Mr. Morris's writing to be gripping and holds one's interest until the last page! I have read the entire "Lion's of Judah" series, and they are all equally wonderful. Highly recommend!

The Bible Biographies Present: NOAH!

Let me get this up front. Gilbert Morris is one of my favorite writers. As a guy, I gotta admit I don't wait out the "romances", sorry Friend Gilbert. My wife does and that counts. Up front, number two... Gilbert Morris would not, did not and never would play fast and loose with what the Bible states. I feel sorry for nit-picking reviewers who lie in wait for an omission or addition that sets them off into printing entire books of the Word online to back up their piousness. Get a life babe! These books are meant to augment the experiences of these great patriarchs not re-write them! To the point now that I've had my tirade... This is a GREAT book! These people simple came alive and leapt off the pages. The descriptions of the times and the scenes are spellbinding. If you look in the Bible and count out how few chapters are actually devoted to the story of Noah, you will see the remarkable talent of Gilbert Morris. This guy Noah did actually live, slip up, worry his parents, stay out late, had a drink or two and yet walked with God. I kept thinking about all the old Sci-Fi stuff in the fifties and sixties about neighbors ridiculing the "nut" who constructed a fallout shelter, yet pounded on the door demanding admission when the air-raid warnings sounded. In short, if you wanna knowa Noah... a pun... loosen up- Read this book. Like the commercial about spaghetti sauce "you want it, it's in there. Score 5 for Gilbert Morris.

Moved by Faith

This story about Abram and family is a most exciting story and was hard to put down. Book #1 & 2 should be read by all Bible readers. The author has gone back in time placed the readers at the scene of the story. I applaude his work and sincerely hope he continues through the Bible making the Bible come alive. I also want to make it clear to readers that some of story is fiction as he fills in details. I say read it and enjoy as I did. I really did have a hard time putting it down.
