Fall of Man Babel: The Story of the Tower and the Rebellion of Mankind, Book 3, (Paperback)

I like reading biblical fiction because it gives me a vision of what it was like during the time period. What I like about the author's writing of this story is how he interprets what might have happened. We need to remember that everything in the book is not exactly what the Bible says, but rather the author's rendition of what could have happened. I know I have always loved the story of Noah. What is unique about this book is how the author takes us past the flooding to when The Tower of Babel was to be constructed. I leaned that Babel means confusion so it makes sense that the tower was called that. God wanted confusion at the tower so people couldn't communicate and finish the tower. It was interesting to read about the dynamics of Noah's family and the turmoil that was running through family members. Noah has been grieving but now must take a stand and try to find out what is going on. I was fascinated by his family and how the scriptures tied into the story. The author does a great job of taking us back in time to a story that had lasting effects on many. Mistakes, disobedience and lies cause people to stumble and stray away from the truth. God was always there in the midst but the people needed to trust Him and not become disobedient to His Word. Throughout the story we can feel God's presence and how His mercy was there to heal. The author intrigued me with this wonderful viewpoint of Noah that I want to read more of his books. He has a way of telling a story that flows easily and gives details that help you visualize what is taking place. We may never know what really happened but with the author's help we can begin to see a clearer picture of what may have occurred. I really liked the part when Noah is explaining how anger can destroy your life. “And unless you can get rid of your anger, it will cost you everything too.” What a powerful statement that was. Our bitterness and anger can destroy relationships and keep us from God's blessings. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, The review is my own opinion.
