I didn't want to put this in my review, but the author (born in 1901--so I cut him some slack) made two offensive remarks within the first 11 pages that really turned me off. One was a remark about Jews and their appearance where my initial though was "stereotype much?" and then he made a comment about "African Negros" and their uncivilized societies which was really an uneducated remark about indigenous cultures (I took a few courses in Anthropology in college and the remark struck a chord with me.). I consider this author and his book a product of the time period in which he lived.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353696433987975754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335127253206802038.post-79239080999680590242009-07-03T13:01:28.290-04:002009-07-03T13:01:28.290-04:00so sort of like the Reader's Digest condensed ...so sort of like the Reader's Digest condensed version of the Old Testament; could be a good start for those that haven't read the Old Testament for them to perhaps want to then go and read the actual Bible itself for the "rest of the story"<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
