The second book of the Trilogy continues with the life of Noah before the Ark building. It jumps ahead 450 years and describes how corrupt the world has become, even in Noah's home town. Noah and his friends are persecuted and sought after because of not worshipping the false serpent god. God does speak to Noah for the first time and he knows about the coming flood and the building of the boat but no details yet.
Each book has a q&a at the end with some interesting answers based on the author's research. There is also a section on why the author's depicted the story as they did.

This novel’s greatest sin is making The Historically Attested Worldwide Flood (tm) really really lame

This series so far has been fantastic. There was clearly a lot of thought put into this world and the characters in it. Although I don't agree with everything in this book the section in the back showed me the author clearly showed his sincerity in the message. The book is not "preachy" like some Christian books but is really a fantastic story about a character everyone should be familiar with at least to some extent. Unlike some books, I felt that these characters were truly 3-dimensional and I was able to relate to their struggles both moral and physical. In the second book, the story really starts to heat up. The story kept me interested in both books and I am waiting with baited breath for the third. Whatever your religious views these books are worth the read.

*This is a review copy from the publisher, Master Books. No review, positive or otherwise, was required—all opinions are my own.*
Noah: Man of Resolve immediately picks up where the story in book one leaves off. This books focus is pre-flood, so the story includes alot of corruption and violence. But we see Noah being steadfast in his faithfulness to God.
At the end of the book there is a question & answer section. This was helpful in gaining more insight on the fact & the fiction side of the story.
I would recommend this book for teens and adults.

A lot of action in this book. Noah has received a promise from the Creator that he will be required to build an ark because he will destroy the earth with a flood. Noah believes him and it's confident throughout all the turmoil that his life will be saved so he can fulfill God's will for him. The situation looks dark and impossible to overcome but Noah presses on. Look forward to the last book in the trilogy.

This book continues the saga of Noah as perceived by the authors from the Biblical account in Genesis and from other attributes of God to fill in the blanks. Though there is some speculation, there is much in this work which is compelling and draws the reader into the characters and possible life of Noah. A wonderful read which I highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this second installment in the Noah trilogy, which had lots of thrilling action! Must say, I am eagerly anticipating the third book. Based on the first two, I'm certain it will be excellent as well.

I personally love this series and love how it follows the historical accuracy of the Bible, but also has some ideas that help portray Noah’s faith in God. Because of the tremendous faith Noah and his wife share, they lord will bless and deliver them!

I really enjoyed this book!! It had been a year since I read the first book, so I did have to go back and read it again before reading this one. The books are closely tied together and book one sets the ground for this book.
I thought the authors did an excellent job with presenting the story line and keeping the interest of the reader. I love how they creatively added biblical events accurately, yet clearly distinguished it from the fictional aspects of the story. Many times we read about different men in Genesis and see them as individual stories with their separate lives, when in truth many were contemporaries of each other. In this story, the authors bring in Tubal-Cain, Jabal and Jubal, Lamech and his wives Adah and Zilla, and even Methuselah.
The story really made me think about what the years leading up to the Flood must have been like. What happened to Noah's relatives and why weren't they on the Ark? How did wickedness become so rampant and how did that effect Noah's life? How did Noah make a public stand against wickedness? Why did Noah and his wife only have three sons? If the whole world was wicked, where did his sons find wives? Clearly, the answers to these questions are unknown. Through the plot, the authors provide their own answers and present ideas of what Noah's pre-flood life may have been like.
As with my previous review of Noah: Man of Destiny , while absent of fornication, some of the descriptions and interactions with the seductive woman may not be suitable for young men.
Perhaps the thing I love most about biblical fiction is that it causes the reader to see Bible characters not merely as some vague person in history, but rather as a real person! The authors of this book do an excellent job in bringing Noah to life, yet still staying true to his character and the Bible.
Definitely worth reading! But you'll want to read book one first. I can't wait to start on the final book!

Even though this is mostly a made up story of Noah and his world, it really helps you understand, and wonder, what life might have been like in the pre-Flood world. I find myself almost forgetting Bible stories were real events with real humans and emotions. These books colorize these Bible stories for us.
I enjoy the writing as it’s very descriptive about what’s happening in each scene. You can really picture what each character is doing and what their facial expressions look like.
There were some truly tragic and devastating scenes in this book that really give you an idea of how corrupt the world would have been back then. The writers introduce you to so many loving characters that you get to know, just in time for tragedy to strike. Some of the relationships are a little too perfect, but it is sweet to see such a healthy display of marriage and family, even through some sad events.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Ark Encounter, as there are some things from scenes in this book included in it, which I think is a super neat touch.
The story does go a little slow, and a lot of the characters are hard to keep track of, as some of their personalities are very similar. But I do think it’s neat that the whole book is written only really through conversation, and not a lot of long descriptions of events.

Noah, Man of Resolve, is the continuing fictional account of the life and times of the Noah we know from Genesis. Although slightly predictable, one can truly appreciate and be encouraged by Noah's faith and trust in The Creator. His story of resolve and obedience gives us, the readers, encouragement in our own trials.
I enjoyed this book as well as the questions that the authors take on in the back of the book. They address as to why they portray Noah and the characters in such a way, why they added such political events, and they back up other tidbits with Biblical references.
I look forward to reading the final installment of this series.

Like the first book, this fascinating depiction of life before the world-wide flood is thought-provoking and enjoyable. As the world descends deeper into evil, we see how it affects the lives of Noah, his wife, and the other believers who are left. It is hard to read because of that aspect, but the authors do a wonderful job conveying the evil of the world without causing the reader to wallow in the nasty details. My 13-year-old son has started reading these books, and the content is handled delicately enough for even young teens to read and understand. The same purpose and explanations at the back of the book apply to this book, as well.

The story of Noah continues. This is one Bible world that I really hadn't pictured, I have enjoyed the world of this book. This book continues with excellent fleshing out, both good and evil are well presented. As the back cover states, this book is imaginative and respectful. I really enjoy biblical fiction. I feel these authors have a unique presentation all their own. At the end you again will find some non-fiction. Be sure and read it as it adds to the book.

Noah: Man of Resolve continues to build on Noah: Man of Destiny's strong beginning, with consistently good plot and characters. There's heroics and heartaches and a lot of good stuff in general. Not the best Biblical fiction I've read, but close. The authors try their best to avoid tropes, which is mostly good but occasionally leads to happenings that seem "off".
March 18, 2019
Well crafted story. Chaffey effectively stays true to Scripture while weaving in feasible details of the way life could have been. It could have used another round of hard editing. It must be a pretty good story; this book and the first of the series are only the 3rd and 4th ebooks I have read.

2nd in the trilogy. A fiction story based on the Bible character Noah. A man of faith who lived hundreds of years in a time where people had started to stop believing in God but idol worshipped. Very interesting story
January 6, 2024
This was my first completed book of 2024. I loved how the authors captured the spirit of the times of Noah. I always thought that he had to come face to face with the wickedness of the era. I really enjoyed how this was captured. I’m looking forward to book 3.

I enjoyed reading this book and having a different perspective of Noah and what was going on around them at the time.

It's hard to write a review on a book that does not need to be corrected. This book and the entire trilogy was fantastic. Probably my favorite book trilogy. I 100% recommend it!

Excellent. Number 2 in the series. Looking forward to the third book.

Fascinating story about what Noah's life might have been like before he built the ark.

Oddly there are very few biblical fiction books that take place during biblical times or involve people of the Bible. It must be Amish fiction sells too well. That or authors seem to be nervous of being termed heretics.
With the first Noah book I enjoyed (Grade - B) and I like Chaffey's writing. Noah feels like a real person. He goes through character development. You understand his feelings and motivation. All the things you're supposed to do in a story. In this book, we pick back up with Noah from his just married happy ending. Oh and running away from the crazy princess who loves snake gods.
Throughout the book, Noah is written as being more of a leader and husband and friend. There are a lot of his personal aspects that are enjoyable to read. He also faces doubt and indecisiveness at times. Since we know the end story, this growth of Noah is really nice to see. He's not perfect and he's not holier-than-thou. The supporting cast of characters is interesting with Noah's friends being well written and sees Noah as a leader of the group. However, it's not like the hang on his every word and always need to be around him. There's a character who kind of gets a hero's speech in the middle of the book and it was nice that a supporting character could have that spotlight. The plot makes sense of where it's going and there are some neat highpoint scenes that are fun to read.
What the story had working against it was time factors. We Noah leads a long life but the jump in years of hundreds is really a big thing to do. This isn't like a character needing to advance in age by "5 years later" to get to their next plot point. Nothing happened of note to Noah in the 600 year time gap? On the other end of the spectrum, there is a lot of meandering plotting that happens. Some of this is the result of the slow travel by boats but there is a lot of travel to one place then back home and then back to the one place again and then off to a side trip. Noah's wife also feels like just a side character with kind of the normal thinking you'd probably guess she would have. It would have been interesting to have her challenging Noah's ideas or turning Noah to a correct understanding of God's character. She not a bad character but she just falls into a normal side character. The villains also aren't that well presented. It's the typical villains get power and so now they act crazy growth. It would have been neat to see pagan leaders develop the system of worship without being on the verge of madness and show that while the evil is growing to show the need for the Flood, they are people. They feel more like bad guy archetype characters than characters who are bad.
Overall, a decent read with some slow parts in the middle and some location changes that happen quickly that I'm not sure how certain characters get to where they're at. But with the knowledge that the Flood is coming, we know not all these characters can be with us for long and some neat plot points make it a good read and will want to continue the journey. Final Grade - C+

This book is the second in a series about Noah from the Bible. It basically picks up in the middle of the action where we left Noah and his friends at the end of book one. However, the author did provide enough information about what has happened that a reader can probably follow the story without reading the first book.
While Noah does remain faithful to God and his teachings, practically everything else is made up because we know so little about this period of his life. In this book, he's 46 years old in the first part and 499 years old in the second part. He's a boat builder, but he's constantly traveling around and so is exposed to danger as he sees the world slowly get more and more evil. As he travels, we're shown what the authors think the world was like before the Flood. There's a lot of description (along with suspense) as they encounter evil people and wild animals along the way.
Rather than describing animals and plants with words that we are familiar with, like horse, the authors described what the animal or plant looked like. This gave the book a fantasy feel because you're left to guess which kind of animal or plant is being referred to. The authors include questions and answers in the back explaining why they chose to portray things in certain ways. They have rain and rainbows, earthquakes, volcanoes, and such before the Flood.
It wasn't always clear to me why the characters acted in certain ways. Like when Noah and his wife needlessly placed themselves in danger. Some actions seemed more motivated by the authors' desire to show off their world than by what would make sense. There was no sex or bad language.
