Astounding, certainly....and well, loveable!

This is one of the most exciting books about Holy Scripture that I've read in a very long while, and that's saying a lot. The beautifully flowing and descriptive language, the fresh, anointed insights, and just the sheer volume of such a wonderful work ~ makes this rate right up there with the Message Bible and daresay, with Robert Alter's Genesis. As the book jacket so aptly says:....an adventure with an incredibly colorful cast of characters ~ heroes and villains, prophets and sorcerers, angels and demons, pillars of virtue and detestable reprobates, the magnificent and the mundane. And through it all we see the God of Love in relentless pursuit of His errant people, working to restore a relationship shattered by their rebellion." Kudos to Ms. Karen Lee-Thorp for a magnificent volume of gorgeous wordsmithing. Ms. Lee-Thorp is a Yale graduate by the way....I can only highly recommend this great book, it's the most refreshing one to come along in a great while. Can't wait to read more of Karen Lee-Thorp! Magnifico!
