Shem and his Wife
It is dangerous in Nineveh and Shem and Eran become separated and both end up in the Land of Canaan. It is dangerous there too especially when the cities of Sodom and Gommorah are destroyed. Fortunately Shem and his wife are reunited along with brothers and their wives. Best of all is meeting Abraham and Sarah and being present at the birth of Isaac. There is so much action in this book besides the knowledge of the faithfulness of God.

I just finished " reading this entire series - one book each day this weekend. It was incredible- great lessons in faith, forgiveness, human nature, God's sovereignty, and more. She is a great author.

This book was awesome! I love this author's view of the ancient world and how she believes it happened. I felt I was right there with the characters! I want more from this author!!

Finished last week this 3rd and last in the Generations of Noah series. I was awed through all three books by author Neal's fast pace, characterization of the primary players, evocation of time and place, and easily followed story line and subtleties. This was not an easy story to tell, and I must admit I expected her to tell it in a style to please many and thus please none. But, from the first of the three, I realized Mrs. Neal is an author whose books I want to read, and I promptly downloaded the other two before finishing the first. I'm an author, too, and I appreciate good writing. Thank you, Mrs. Neal!

Good read
The author is talented. You have a gift. S great trilogy. Such an easy way to get an understanding of how it could have been during the Old Testament of the Bible. So interesting, I had to read all three and I hope she writes more.

A great series!
Biblical historic fiction. What might have been. Rachel S. Neal does a fine job of weaving a tale for the lives of each of the sons of Noah. Our God is a good God. Read, enjoy, be challenged in your faith. Will you stand firm in your faith in the One True God?

Didn’t want it to end.
Didn’t want this book to end, would love you to write more books following the rest of the books of the Bible.

I just finished the series. I thought they were well written and visit Old Testament characters. I would certainly choose to read other biblical fiction from Rachel Neal.

Pretty good
I found this story interesting, but not necessary for a whole trilogy. 2 books would’ve worked. I think this just carried out a little long. It was an ok book, I didn’t read it as quickly or get as engrossed as the others though. I see why the author completed 3 books but I don’t think it was entirely necessary.
Shem and Eran were prevalent in the 1st book but hardly around in the 2nd. I understand the order of the books, but think this one was unnecessary and would’ve been satisfied if it had been 2 books.

Once again, this book was an absolute gem. Extremely well-researched as well as placed within the historical context, and yet still captures a full range of human emotions and experiences relatable to the modern reader. The author has a real gift. Vivid prose and thoughtful sensory descriptions immerse the reader in the book, and the characters are animated. I would recommend this book, and my only complaint is that it's over!

This is the 3rd in the Generations of Noah series. It followed right along - close to The Bible story. This book makes it easy to understand life before Jesus Christ. The workings of Noah, his sons and grandsons make it exciting reading. If you're going to get critical because it misses part of the long generations, don't read it. I loved it. Makes the details of ordinary people's lives realistic.

Faith gets feet
Great character development of Eran as she steps into her faith in The One True God in a personal way. Literary license aside, a very encouraging story.

I loved this series. In this one, I loved how Even though Eran had faith, she felt fear.

I really enjoyed this last book in the series too. The only negative thing about it is that it's over! Great series!

Update: I was reading in my Bible yesterday and realized that Abraham was called a Hebrew. I'm not sure how I've missed that through all the times I've read it. I learn something new every day.
***
This was not my favorite of the series, I just had a hard time connecting with this book. However, it was still good. Neal does a great job of not sugar coating things, but not going into detail either.
I had a little trouble at the start of this story. I just had a hard time accepting the idea there was a Hebrew tribe before Jacob, them being persecuted, and also hints that they were the forefathers of Eupoians. Perhaps this is a lack of historical understanding on my side.
I loved the first two books of the series, this one was still solid. I look forward to reading more by Neal.

Great finish to the series.
The author did a nice job of making you feel apart of the story. This entire series I recommend to anyone interested in Biblical fiction. Very nicely done.

This was the best of the trilogy. The climax was a little far-fetched, but the book kept me reading late into the night.
