Partridge in a Pear Tree: Noah and the Flood

by Ed Gaulden

Noah and the worldwide flood is one of the greatest stories in the Bible. The story comes to life, using modern English and phrases. Go inside the 450-foot ark and ride with Noah and his wife, his son's and their wives. Feel wet? You cannot escape the awful deluge that hit the earth. Suffer with Noah from seasickness as the ark rides horrendously tall waves. Hear the sea crash against the sides of the ark. Smell the stench inside the ark. Experience the odor of the animals, and pick feathers from your shirt that the birds have cast off.

It was interesting but needed editing since there were typos that needed correcting. However it did appear that the author did an excellent job with research. Much of the information added up to what I have read in regards to the flood. I was impressed how he put so much fascinating information into a story without boring the reader. The character, Noah, was portrayed differently than I would imagine. It seems to me that he would have been more respectful of the Creator than was depicted. But God has always used imperfect people to serve His purposes and this would have been no different. This story really brings the account of the Flood to life. The reader feels sorrow for good friends who chose not to go on the Ark and thus perished in the Flood. I wish I knew how life was like for Noah and his family after they left the Ark. The book ends with the arrival of the rainbow, a promise of a new beginning.
