This is "not your average reference book" - to quote the press release I received when asked to review this book. Always up to a challenge, my curiosity piqued, I requested the book, and I'm not at all disappointed. Let's change that "D" word to "delighted!"I love reference books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and the like, especially when it deals with any part of history. Biblical history is a particular fascination. When I had this new book in my hands I was captivated."An illustrated A-to-Z Dictionary of the People and Places in Scripture" it says on the lower part of the cover. I thumbed it open and the book opened about mid-way to "Jeremiah." A blocked side-bar caught my attention: "Prophets Who Didn't Want the Job" and yes, Jeremiah was certainly one, along with Moses and Jonah.This fantastic book is illustrated in full color, with artist's interpretations of things like Noah's Ark, Herod's Temple, Lot's family fleeing Sodom, and an intriguing rendition of Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar when he lost his mind and ate grass. Included are photos of modern day Israel and the way these historic places look today. And of course maps of all kinds.This isn't your normal dry, historical narrative interspersed with pictures and maps-the author shows his wit and humor with some wry and acerbic references such as the section about Solomon. Page 356 gives us this: "Solomon at his dumbest." What? Everyone knows that Solomon was the wisest man in the Bible. So what's this? Take a look: "There's a tie for first place.* Marriage can be plenty stressful with just one partner. "He had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines [secondary wives]" (I Kings 11:3)* In his old age, Solomon worshipped idols.
