They were real people living life the best they knew how. There were no real guidelines and no real rules in this developing society yet they lived and loved in an honesty, intensity and integrity that was pace setting for this time in history. It is a story of love, and a story of hate. It is a story of giving and getting. Intrigue, fear and danger are their constant companions as these patriarchs and matriarchs build a family that becomes a mighty nation. "I loved this book I almost cried when I finished it because I didn't want it to stop I have had trouble with getting into a Bible study, but this book has inspired me." AB "Amazing. This book is so real and personal. I feel like I know each of the characters personally, like they were my friends and I'm listening to their story. I loved it and want to read more. Thank you." CR "I couldn't put it down. I kept thinking I'd finish this chapter and go to bed. Instead, I read all night and finished it. I loved it and now I feel lonely because I've finished it." TAS "I wanted to read this book because I am teaching from Genesis in my Sunday School class. It is so real. Now I want the entire class to read it because it is so rich, personal and up close. I love the insight on the characters - it is right on." SB
