Riding out Noah’s Ark voyage was not all “hallelujahs”. This book tells it like it is, at least as it might have been. One family with wedded brothers and sisters, below deck with every animal known to man, is not a Genesis yacht party. Issues and dysfunction grew amongst the mildew. Noah’s family story is typically told as a children’s yarn, but Caryl McAdoo has transformed it into reading for youth through grandparents.
Caryl McAdoo’s Biblical Fiction falls somewhere between Biblical paraphrasing and an ancient Holy Land reality TV series. McAdoo’s storytelling of 40 days of stormy Ark-living, plus months after, is unique, fun, and even enlightening. Not only does “REPLENISH THE EARTH” offer an inside-the-ark description of setting and likely events, but also gives readers a fictionalized picture of the lifestyle of Angels of the Heavenly realm. That’s a lot packed into one short story. After reading the less than 100 page story, McAdoo offers scripture and reasoning for some of her elaborations regarding the details of Noah and family. I do not always agree with McAdoo’s theological reasoning, but I sure do like her story writing style.
This is a great addition to McAdoo’s ongoing series of “The Generations.”
Individual series books can be read stand-alone, but if done so, it’s like reading a Bible book and ignoring the related others. I recommend all, and I’m anticipating another fun read in the next of the series to be released soon, “Children of Eber.” Its 1st chapter was included with this book.
