The Last Eight People on Earth!
Ready to experience life on Noah’s ark? This book will give you a good idea of what it might have been like.
Shortly after this story begins, God tells Noah to build an ark. The only people on it will be Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives. Life is hard because peril lurks everywhere. People have turned away from God, and have become mean and dangerous. Hazardous Watchers are all around them, treating people badly, and influencing them to live the wrong way.
Two of their sons have wives, but Ham does not. They grab a wife quickly for him, afraid no one will marry into their family once news of the ark gets out.
As they work on the boat, they face ridicule along with people making it hard to get supplies. Some even try to destroy the ark. As the older generation dies off, Noah and his family are the only ones left that still believe in God.
When they finally get inside the ark, they face new tensions. The immense amount of work needed to care for the animals, coupled with just the eight of them being in the ark, is not easy.
There is also an underlying tension from the wife they quickly decided on for Ham. She often rubbed them the wrong way before they all lived on the ark. Being crushed together only made things worse, and Ham’s wife causes even more problems.
This is a fictionalized account, so some of the story is created according to the author’s interpretation. I believe she captured much of what life was like on the ark, including the time before and after the ark.
If there was ever any thought this account was only a myth, this book will make you pause, because it clearly shows how it could have happened. This story will pull you in from the first page, and I highly recommend this five-star book.
