This book is a must read if you are interested in historical fiction. Covering the span of 4000 years, follow the descendants of a Jewish family, through their adventures and experiences from biblical times to present day Israel.

What an incredible fictional history novel. This is a page turning novel filled with important biblical historical fact & interesting characters about the Jewish family... so educational as well as entertaining. Very well done.

This book is a remarkable read, it's a novel loaded with an amazing amount of Judaic history. The book is a big book - even made my Kindle "feel heavy", but as quick as I sped through the pages, I would definitely classify it a 'page turner'.

Seed of Avraham is uniquely structured in that it tells the historical stories through the eyes of average people who lived in the biblical times. For example, the story of King David is told through the life of a friend of David's who's father was the armor bearer to King Saul. The Inquisition, the Holocaust, Columbus' journey, all of these events are well-researched and told through the eyes of the everyday person.

The book's stories span the history of the Jewish family from Avraham to present day Israel. It's a must read for anyone interested in historical fiction!

I have often wondered if I truly have descendants from the biblical years. How exciting that would be to trace my heritage back to where it all began. This book is an exciting and very informative look of thousands of years of ancestry. The way Othniel Seiden has written it makes it easy to navigate through years of lineage one page after the next. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with a taste for family trees and history.
