The Real Story Of The Flood
Ebooks Online

The latest landmark book from Paul L. Maier gives children a biblical, historically accurate description of the Flood. Illustrations by Robert T. Barrett add realism and perspective to the story of faithful believer Noah and his family who obeyed God and were preserved from death and destruction. In eloquent, authoritative language, The Real Story of the Flood describes what is known about the Flood as revealed in Scripture. Young readers learn about the sinfulness of man, one faithful man and his family, and how God saved them from perishing. The book also addresses common questions about the story, such as the logistics of building a vessel large enough to house all the animals for a year. The story ends with the rainbow, Gods sign that He will never again destroy the earth by flood. Children learn that Gods Word is true and the story of the Flood is biblical fact rather than fairy tale or myth.

This brand new work by Dr. Paul L. Maier is a great way to introduce your family to the real story Noah's ark and the flood. While many other children's books about Noah's Ark and the flood sacrifice important facts for the sake of being cute and cuddly, this book takes a different & refreshing approach. The main difference is that Dr. Maier strives to tell the story in a way that is as biblically and historically accurate as possible. The conviction to be as biblically and historically accurate as possible is something I've appreciated in Dr. Maier's adult works and I'm glad to see he has maintained this conviction in his works for children.This story is told from the vantage point of the third person, perhaps by an unnamed narrator. Each chapter begins with a key Bible reference from the New International Version, that sets the stage for the writing in that chapter and the artwork that accompanies it. The text very intentionally engages the reader and listener with key ideas and questions that encourage one to thoroughly consider the part of the story at hand. The key ideas conveyed in this story are:* Sinfulness of man* Faithfulness of Noah & his family* God's redemption of Noah and his family* The enormity of building such a large vessel* Explanation of God's covenant with Noah and the significance of the rainbowIn addition to the key ideas mentioned above, there are a few additional topics touched upon briefly that are worth mentioning:* Explanation concerning dinosaurs, Gap Theory - (Epilogue)* Historicity of the biblical flood narrative and its parallels found in the flood narratives of other ancient cultures.
