Adam and His Kin: The Lost History of Their Lives and Times

I loved Ruth Beechick's story of the people in the line of Noah from Adam to Noah that lived. There were a few things that I think were important that I believe happened back then based on the book of Enoch and the Bible's reference to it, but I don't think the population as a whole is ready for that anyway. Still the overall sense of what might have happened and the feelings people had toward each other and toward God and toward the world sounds pretty accurate to Scripture and understandable to read through. I have also read Henry Morris' book, The Genesis Record and learned a great deal from it.

Doctor Beechick constructs a very credible argument for the accuracy and the inspiration of the Genesis account. For the person who is not a Biblical Scholar, reading a translated work from a few thousand years earlier can easily challenge the reader's belief system because of not understanding writing method and style. Normally, I would recommend going "to the source first," but in this case I would encourage the reader to first read Adam and His Kin, then go on to tackle the Genesis account. For those not usually enthusiastic about history, this may be the first enjoyable book to read.

Book came early than I expected and was in great condition.

When added to our ancient history curriculum this brought story time and history together.

Good work but a little more speculative than I expected. I thought it would follow the Bible versus more.

The book itself was pretty good. It fit seamlessly with our history lessons thru Veritas Press. Some parts were mundane and unnecessary to the story, so I skipped over those, but it offered great imagery.The book was advertised as Used - Very Good but it wasn't as "good" as I expected it to be. There was a large stain on the back cover, and there were pencil scribbles inside.

This book is a great resource to any homeschool library and is a great way to teach history, starting from the very beginning, using "living books". The author quite clearly spent a lot of time thoroughly researching the time period covered in this novel and presents her information clearly and creatively. If you are studying ancient history, beginning with creation, this book could be followed by Journey To The Ice, a historical fiction that covers the time period of the Tower of Babel.

I really like the book information, although I think it is written for a 'younger' age group...but the basic information is very good. I do think the author took some liberties out of her own ideas, and not what was proven fact, although, she does kind of say that in her prologue. I am on my 2nd reading of it, and I am very much enjoying it! Thank you!
