Does anyone know....

....the titles of any other books based on Bible stories or characters/

As you may have seen from another post, I am almost finished reading Anita Diamant's 'Red Tent', and I loved it and would like to read more.

well, the davinci code....but that is still up for debate.

I found this List on Amazon that has 23 books (fiction and non-fiction) about biblical characters: click here.

Audreybee,

Thank you so much. That is very kind of you. I have saved that list to my 'favourites'.

How about.....

Not the End of the World by Geraldine McCaughrean
The book is a story about Noah and his family and what it would really be like on the Ark with all the Claustrophobic tensions, practical problems, even the smell with all the animals on board.


Cabrasopa

cabrasopa - Thanks for that link! I want to check that book out soon if I can find it. Your suggestion reminded me of yet another book I want to get my hands on with regards to the subject of Noah's Ark: The Preservationist looks like a great novel.

What about "The Fifth Mountain" by Paulo Ceolho?

 

[irishgirl]

Oh my, how could I have forgotten about the brilliant Paulo Coehlo.

I have that book, in fact, I think I started reading it at one time, but I think it was a time where I was quite stressed out and did really have time to concentrate on it.

Must revisit it during the summer.

Thanks for reminding me

Paradise Lost is the obvious one. But if you dont read much poetry, it takes a looong time to really get into it. Trust me.

Job: A Comedy of Justice by Robert A. Heinlein

Two from Galilee by Marjorie Holmes. Love story of Mary and Joseph. Very good.

Thank you everyone for your inputs!

The Preservationist

I read this a month or so ago and really enjoyed it. The author took poetic liscense with a couple of details in the Biblical account, but they were minor and I enjoyed his take on what it might have been like.
