    About this ebook

    Noah’s wife and sons knew he was old but they assumed his claim of being over 600 years old was a joke. But when he begins hearing a disembodied voice claiming to be an unknown God who was about to destroy the world, they begin fearing for his sanity. When Noah insists on building a huge ship to save his family they are certain that advancing age is destroying his mind – at least that’s what they think until the mysterious strangers appear out of the desert and claim they have been sent to help Noah build his great ship. Finally accepting this strange situation, Noah’s sons agree to help build the ship, but as construction progresses relations between Noah’s family and their neighbors deteriorate into ugly confrontations and threats of violence. Then, as the ship nears completion, it begins to rain…and then the real problems start.

      I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.I found this to be a very interesting perspective of Noah and the great flood. Noah's story is brought into the modern age. I will never be able to look at the old Bible story the same way. Mr. Diehl has an amazing skill for story telling. I look forward to reading more from this author.

      This was a give away book. It is the story of Noah and the years before and after he built the Ark. Mr. Diehl wrote a very interesting, time related story of how Noah came to be and how he was chosen by God to build the Ark. The story is Noah's story but encompasses his entire family and his relationship with the villagers. Very well done. The "angels" appeared to be a little other worldly (think aliens) but one must find a way to build an Ark of that size with some kind of outside help. There are many stories of Noah and this is another version. Mr. Diehl certainly did his research into the time of Noah and the equipment available.

      Deluge---The Great Flood---This book is a wonderful account of the story of Noah and the Ark. Almost every culture in the world has a story about a great flood. The author studied three of these, including the story of Noah, to create this book. He uses what is known about Noah's story to deliver a very interesting, fast reading tale. He does this by using contemporary language and authentic historic details. Whether you believe or not, the details and descriptions of life during that time and the account of how the ark was built and how the flood developed make it a very good book.
