Lost in the Flood: Reflections on the Biblical Story of Noah

by Rob Carmack

"LOST IN THE FLOOD is an attempt to engage the story of Noah and the flood in a different kind of way—to help us to interact with the story as adults. I want to invite you to be confused where confusion is warranted, to be outraged when the story seems unjust, and to (hopefully) discover something to celebrate within the story. There is a lot more going on here than we ever saw in our cartoons, and perhaps we can find something beautiful to talk about as we uncover those new elements.
What are the major lessons we can learn from the story of Noah and the flood?
Are there elements in this story that perhaps are not meant to be fully understood?
Is Noah really the “good” hero that we have been taught to see him as?
And what is the deal with how the story ends?
Pretend you have never heard the story of Noah and the flood before, and allow something old to be new again."

[Bella · Rating 5 out of 5]

People who know me irl are tired, I’m sure, of me going “well my friend Pastor Rob has a great take on that” but I’ll stop saying it when Rob stops having such good takes on the Bible and spirituality. This was an accessible way to dive into the story of Noah, and I’d love to see what Rob would do with more pages. I am eagerly awaiting Rob’s next book, but until then, I’ll settle for his great sermons and Bruce Springsteen takes (oh, you thought he only had good takes on Jesus stuff? Think again).

Insightful and entertaining

This book was very entertaining and Insightful. It's a book that makes you think, and I love that Rob weaves in movie references to make everything more relevant and relatable.
