Great read!

I love everything this author puts out. This book is no exception. I call it and anointed imaginaton.

Great Fiction

This was a fascinating book on events and lives immediately after the flood. It's sad how men's hearts are unchanged. Envy, jealous, pride, self-righteousness, and selfish ambition (among a host of other sins) are clearly portrayed in the lives of Noah's off-spring. I liked how Canaan was portrayed as a very humble man who desired to know God, even though he was cursed due to his father's sin. I highly recommend reading the book Noah (by the same author) prior to reading this. It will fill in many details.

Who is he?

Melchizedek is one of the most intriguing people in the Bible. I think because so little is said about him. Mrs. Traylor brings him out of the Bible and into your home. Even though this book can stand alone, I would recommend that you read it as a sequel to "Noah" (ISBN: 0970027419). One of the things that I admire about Mrs. Traylor is her research. And you can tell that she has done a lot of research on him from how well the story flows together. This book is also a great lead in to her book "Abraham" (ISBN: 0842359753). But be prepared, no matter if you read this book as a stand alone or with the others, to be entranced, entertained and to enjoy this book and to be saying, "HHMMMMM" a lot. I have read this book several times and have enjoyed it each and every time. Along with always finding new "stuff" in it. For anyone, Christian or not, I would recommend this book.

A great book!!

I have read most of the others in the series and this is one of my favorites. It fills in some of the gaps of the life of Melchizedek that are mentioned the her other book 'Jerusalem, City of God'. Starts from the time when he was born, as a grandson to Noah, and we trek through the journay of his founding of Jerusalem. Recommend it to all readers. Tremendous book!

Must read!

This book is superb! Ellen Gunderson Traylor is a very talented author who makes the story about Noah and his descendants so interesting! This was the first book I have read written by her and I found it impossible to put down. I recommend this book to all Christians and I know I will read her other works too
