Synopsis
In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict. "A sweeping chronology filled with excitement." THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

    Did not read myself...

    I actually got this for a friend who said he had read it years ago and wanted to read it again. The process of purchase for him was excellent.

  • Best book ever! Captivating!

    I expected the condition of the book to be a little bit better as I bought it for a friend, but it was good enough to read. The book itself as one of the best books I ever read!

  • Good Book to read for traveling to Israel

    I'm going to Israel this October and a friend from my church recommended this book, The Source. I've barely started it, but have read James Michener before and like his work. The shipping was reasonable and immediate. Thanks!
