Publisher's summary

Experience the story of the great flood as you never have before

Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives. They have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge—and it’s about to get much, much harder.

When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction.

When the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.

People need to know about God

We all need to tell others about God’s judgment and mercy in our own time.

Amazing Retelling

This retelling of the story of Noah through the eyes of his wife Zara was amazing. The daughters-in-law seemed exactly right to me because both Shem and Japheth's wives were completely supportive, Ham's wife, an influencer rather than supporter. Had she not been, abuse would have been called into play which Scripture never even alludes to. Only objection, Shem should have been shown in a closer relationship with YHWH, since some texts like Yasher reveal him to be not only Abraham's teacher, but also names him as Melchizedek. Enjoyed it!!

Inspires thinking of a popular Bible story

I love Jill Eileen Smiths historical Bible fiction books, I couldn’t wait for a new one. I enjoyed engulfing myself in the story of Noah through his wife’s perspective. This style of writing makes the story come alive and I re-read the biblical account and I have thought on how the details of the event may have happened. In this story I felt there was a bit too much pettiness between the wives. Often times in this genre of books there are councils between the characters that are scripturally-based and that helps me remember and apply Scripture in my own life and it seemed less so in this book. Overall I’m glad I listened to this book! I love having Bible stories come alive! Thank you for another great book.
