[Lisa (Bookworm Lisa) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is interesting. It gives some different theories of the High Priest, Melchizedek. This is a fictional book. This author has done some research on Noah and other biblical people. I don't completely agree with some of her conclusions, but I do enjoy reading books about people who have a strong faith in the Savior.

Written from a collection of different resources, the life of Melchizedek came forth. It was enlightening and entertaining.

Although I hear the name Melchizedek often, I don't have a clear understanding of who he is and his part in the big picture of the Old Testament. That is why I bought this book after reading Ruth and Joshua by the same author. Ellen has done her homework, and has a plausible and authentic story to tell about the great high priest, Melchizedek.

I chose to read this book because Melchizedek came to me as a guide and I did not know anything about him. This book was very telling and it included a graph of The Roots of Ararat which helps to keep the connections of the people clear.

I enjoy Ellen Gunderson Traylor's writing and have bought a few of her books since finishing this book.

This is the first book by Ellen Traylor that I have read. She has a wonderful way of taking an obscure character in the Bible, doing her research and telling a remarkable story that is not only entertaining but plausible. I will definitely read more of her books.

The author's name is mistyped. It correctly is spelled Ellen Gunderson Traylor. This is one of six books she has written based on characters from the Old Testament.

I enjoyed this book and thought it was well researched and written.
