Illustrated with color maps and color map frontispiece. "The Holy Bible is still the best selling book of all time and in all countries, yet surprisingly few of the new generation seem to be familiar with its contents. I have retold the stories of the Old Testament in this volume with the same hope which impelled me to write the story of the Gospels - that readers might be filled with a desire to read the original Message for themselves. With all my imperfections on my head, I have tried, through narrative and quotations, to give some foretastee of the water of life that rises from that deep will of Truth that is the Book of Books. "It is impossible to righfully govern the world without God and the Bible," said George Washington, and John Adams called it "the best book in the world," while Lincoln said ". Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance by faith and you will live and die a better man." In our century of disillusion Woodrow Wilson declared: "The Bible is the Word of Life: I beg that you will read it and find out for yourself." And Theodore Roosevelt added: "Almost every man who has by his lifework added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible." . The task was begun actually fifteen years ago as a part of the original conception of The Greatest Story Ever Told. As God the Son was the theme of that book, so God the Father is the theme of this one. It is the story of His great plan of creation, "of man's first disobedience and the fruits thereof beginning "in the beginning" and bringing up to the dawn of Christmas when redemption came to the world." - excerpt from the Preface.
