The Book of God: The Bible As a Novel Paperback – 1 February 1998

I really love reading this book, easy to understand and you get to know what the bible is trying to say. Best book I read in a long time. Read it for yourself or a family read. Read so your eyes will come open to who Jesus is!!!!

Not for all but great if you're interested

This book is wonderful. Wangerin does a fantastic job of the Old Testament here (although he does take a few liberties with what Hebrews would have looked like - red hair? probably not). This is very worth your time and money.

You must remember that this is written as a novel and don't confuse this with the authentic inspired word of God. BUT, to read the events of the bible as a story is a wonderful way of seeing the bible and God's continuing love and redemptive work in progress. You see the reality of Man/Israel's continual fall from grace and God's unwavering and unmerited patience and grace.Yes the bible tells all this but most frequently we dip into just parts of it for lessons or even if we read it through from beginning to end the books are not structured chronologically so it can be difficult to see the story unfolding.Anyway I thought it great

Great read and really holds your attention.
