Shadow of God

I've begun reading a book called The Shadow of God by Leo Dupree Sandgren. It's comes highly recommended by RVL who has read it three times in the last year. The book is historical fiction and captures episodes from six centuries of Jewish history. The stories themselves are a good, easy read. The chapter notes are incredibly deep and rich while drawing from an extensive depth of resources, many primary. I probably won't take notes on the chapters but will send out comments or thoughts. So far, I highly recommend it, it's worth the read.

I agree - great book. Can't wait till you get to a few of my favorite chapters . . .
Side thought: Reading in 1 Samuel 20:11 Jonathan says to David "Lets go out into the field" so they went their together. Previously that same verse appears in Genesis 4:8 when Cain says to his brother Abel, "Lets go out into the field." Very cool picture of steps of redemption regarding relationships.
