Flood of Noah, The

A great book. Giving the legends and lore of different cultures around the world was very interesting. All cultures have the elements of the flood story in Genesis, but none agreed with the biblical account fully. If you study Scripture and teach, this book will add to your knowledge of biblical history.

This was a book I had been waiting for and didn't even know it! Once I got it, I purchased several more to give to people. It is perfect for young and old alike. Several interactive features for young people, excellent research and historical evidence for adults. As a long time public school history teacher, I highly recommend it.

We like this book a lot. Good information and our kids like how interactive it is

Excellent

This very large book, but contains very knowledgeable information that to me just proves that the Bible is a true account how anyone ever doubts it is beyond me.

My boys and I used the book to gain further knowledge on Noah, the Flood and what others aid or believed in concerning this mass event. We were unaware just how far this all expanded and how many generations believed the same. Even though many of them do not believe exactly as Christians do, it is great knowing how much of an influence God has over so many.**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Moms of Master Books review group.

The Flood of Noah is a wonderful, interactive book capturing the interest of all ages. The colorful pages are full of historical data that combine legends of the flood from across the world and through many cultures. Looney did a phenomenal job at illustrating with a variety of technique. Readers who especially enjoy visually perceptive works will find this text a joy. Hodge and Welch use multiple references to compile the information for lessons in science, history and bible in many formats. I truly enjoyed flipping through the pages, pulling on the tabs, spinning the wheels, and taking in all the beautiful pictures. I know my students will as well.The comparison of flood legends is important information to be visited as it confirms much of the biblical account of the story itself. Throughout time and countries Noah’s ark has been named by several cultural groups and although the accounts are not exactly the same, they are very similar indeed. Hodge and Welch include a list of names used to describe Noah and his story across cultures. They also have a table referring to his wife included. Students of the flood can flip through pages of historical accounts, maps, illustrations, and charts describing the details in countries like Africa, Lithuania, Mexico, Australia, and Greece. At the end of the book Hodge and Welch share the message of salvation.An educational piece of work that can be used by parents and teachers alike, this book is very interesting, to say the least. To those who are familiar with Noah’s and his story, there is a sense of amazement at the reality of the recognition this account gets all around the world.Master Books has provided me with a copy of The Flood of Noah in return for my honest review.

Hugely disappointed in this, it's probably my fault for not paying more attention to description. It's a strange book not particularly good for kids and a bit too simple for adults. The extra bits stuck on pages seem strange. Wish i hadn't bought it.

An unusual book with lots of "extras". Beautifully illustrated with masses of information. Can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Nicely done. I'd reccomend it for ages 12+.
