I admire Green's ambition, but the execution was disappointing. He argues that basically every influential and/or powerful/successful historical person had the blood of Ephraim and was successful partly due to this blood in order to fulfill prophecy by building the Kingdom and furthering the final gathering. Not enough evidence and no acknowledgement of the purely speculative nature of his arguments, spiritual or otherwise, made for an unconvincing presentation.

Too much of the history of Ephraim's lineage, not even of the "meat" I wanted, in terms of premortal gifts, promises/contracts and blessings. Still interesting, if you're into historical detail (which unfortunately I don't have the patience for).

I enjoyed looking at world history through a gospel lens.

It was a lot of info. To me it was a slow read. If you read to much of it in a short period of time you couldn't ponder on the info. I guess just a little to heavy for me.

This was a great overview of world history along with good information on the tribe of Ephraim and the children of Israel. I learned a lot in reading this book. It was very educational.
