The Heavens Before

Marginalized by society and mistreated by her own family, Annah befriends a young man she's never seen before. Shem is captivated by Annah's courage, and he risks everything to help her gain her freedom. Trusting in the Most High, Annah marries Shem and joins her strange new family in their solitary faith that will ultimately separate them from an ancient world of amazing beauty and appalling violence--a world fast approaching the unimaginable catastrophe of the Great Flood. Out of this chaos, only eight people will survive. Their world is our world. Their future is our own. This novel breathes life into the familiar story of Noah's ark. This book is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the Flood, but many will also enjoy the insightful characters. CHRISTIAN LIBRARY JOURNAL
