A #1 bestseller on The New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times!
From the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah's The Women--at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided.Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets--and becomes one of--the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.

Time will tell.
Format: Paperback
The New Chronology, the unorthodox historical time frame upon which this book is based, may be regarded by Professor Kitchen and other expert scholars in this field as 'one hundred per cent rubbish' but that does not prevent this book from being a very interesting and enjoyable read. As to the correctness or otherwise of the theory advanced, only time will tell.

From Eden to Exile: The Five Thousand Year History of The People of The Bible
Format: Paperback
Well written book about a very interesting subject. Author is basically restructuring the traditionally accepted royal dynasty time periods of the Egyptian Pharaohs. I do accept that the traditional ancient time spans are mostly not accurate. This inaccuracy causes problems when trying to date other cultures of the same periods. The prime example is the biblical history of the Hebrews. When adjusting the Egyptian historical writings to around 200 years later you then do see references to accounts of a people who might have been the ancient Hebrews. It is interesting that we accept Egyptian history, as written in stone, but not the Hebrew written history. This author, and others, are disputing this accepted dating of Egyptian royal dynastic rule. The author tells a purely historical biblical history leaving religious commentary out of it. I don't agree with all his story but a great part of it is very possible. The bible is a religious and historical writing but it is possible to separate the two. The possibility of this new time frame being correct would change present day archaeology dramatically and would likely confirm much of secular biblical history.
Ancient history of a particular culture must be correct in order to say if another culture existed at the same time. Right now Egyptian dating is being used to judge as to whether the biblical history is true. This of course is a very dubious yard stick. Who says ancient Egyptian writings are 100% true? Many have been found to be for political & religious purposes and not necessarily true. This book is an eye opener and puts a big ? mark about current historical dating and what is true and false about ancient Israel !

Hmmm.
Format: Paperback
LOVED Pharaohs and Kings. Agree with New Chronology. But here, there is much to disagree with as he tries to explain away pre-flood events, he ties in Scripture with other local peoples ancient stories in ways that make God and His works look like a local god, little "g" - nothing to see here kind of god. The angel God places at the entrance to the Garden of Eden with a fiery sword a demon? The ark made out of reeds? Local flood, etc. I annotated the first half of this book to death, but after the flood, I annotated less and less as there was much more to agree with. I am open minded - I know there is archeological evidence as well as epigraphical evidence. But if it completely disagrees with Biblical text, it cannot work. I like Dave Rohl. You will probably get a lot out of most of the book, but he takes us completely down a different path than I expected pre-flood.

I have huge amounts of respect for this guy. He is so intelligent and really researches things, he is one of those people who sees what the average guy cant. This book is great and fascinating. cant put it down. I hate these books that are clearly not the truth but they just want to make money selling books...THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE... It is real info that is true history.

A Truly Epic History
Format: Paperback
This book was awesome and went through the history of the people of the bible from the very beginnings. It's a fascinating read using the new chronology, which is backed up with astronomical events and archaeology. It's not an easy read with all the information in it, but it is worth every minute spent reading it. I think anyone who is interested in Biblical history or archaeology would find this book very interesting.
