Loving, creative illustrations and a detailed story of Noah's ark give life to this extraordinary book. -- Roger Howerton, Acquisitions Editor, New Leaf Press and Master Books, June 5, 2003

Product Description

God always has a plan; God always has a man. The plan: destroy the wickedness of the world. The man: Noah. How would you feel if you knew that God was going to destroy the world, and you had been chosen out of millions of people to continue the human race? This book is not just Sunday school material for kids, but the thrilling adventure of Noah comes to life through the dazzling, detailed illustrations and the exciting True Story of Noah’s Ark. The images of the interior of Noah’s ark are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The people and cities depicted here are certainly more advanced than what you’ve been led to believe – these people weren’t cavemen! They invented metals and musical instruments; they were skilled craftsmen; they built grand cities – all BEFORE the Flood. And this is not fiction – it’s all biblically and historically based.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Buy, September 20, 2003

By A Customer

When I first recieved this book in the mail, I was excited at the potential I thought it had. I had seen some of the artwork over the internet, so I knew I was in for a treat at least visually. I opened it quickly and started thumbing through it. The first thing that I noticed was that the artwork was even better when you are holding the pages in your hand. Clearly, this is some of the best artwork of Noah's Ark ever produced. And that's not an exaggeration. I stood in awe as I looked at the great size of the inside of the ark, and the ark floating in the midst of a global flood. It really put into perspective the reality of the situation.

After looking at the brilliant illustrations, I started reading from the beginning, and I just couldn't put it down. The account that this book gives of Noah's story is so eye-opening that any doubts you might of had about the story of the flood slowly drift away, and you realize that it all was possible, and what Noah probably felt. I was really excited by the end of the book; it was thoroughly entertaining and informative.

I enthusiastically recommend this book, and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, April 13, 2004

By	Sherri R. Myers "book reviewer" (Upper Strasburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is simply wonderful! The story is told in such a way as to aid you in truly believing the flood really happened. You can almost see the story unfolding before your very eyes. You can feel what Noah and his family must have felt, the awesome wonder of such an event! The pictures are so incredibly beautiful! Gorgeous, full-color, very detailed, real-to-life drawings! My only "warning" is this-Mr. Dooley uses some rather large "adult-type" words like "formidable" and "cataclysm", so this is not a book for small children, definitely written for older children and adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book, October 12, 2007

By	Tiffany Griffin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am so impressed with this book. It starts with beautiful pictures on really nice paper. The book is very well written and brings you into the time of Noah. The author has obviously spent a lot of time pondering this time period and brings you along with him to see what life may have been like for Noah, his family and those around hime. My kids loved the book and ask to have it read to them again and again.
