Description

"A New World" is the first book of Moses, more commonly known as Genesis, retold in a unique form. Smooth-flowing verses of perfectly rhyming couplets and a fast, dynamic rhythm instantly sweep the reader from the verdant delights of the Garden of Eden, past Noah and the flood and the adventures of Abraham and Isaac, to Joseph's arrival in Egypt and his rise to power as Pharaoh's right-hand man. A light-hearted but never irreverent style brings the characters from this biblical story to life and makes "A New World" a highly enjoyable read for both children and adults alike. The detailed, faithful rendering of the original book of Genesis also makes it an invaluable aid for modern religious teaching.
