The Book Of God

 The last book I read was  The Book Of God by Walter Wangerin, Jr. .  It is basically the Bible set in story form.  That being said I was really surprised that he started with Abraham and not Adam and Eve.  However he did cover that story later in the book.  I will Have to say that I did not find any redeeming qualities in any of the characters in the book.  I realize that the Bible has more sex and violence than probably most books on the market today but i just thought that everyone was awful.  Starting with abraham and following thru to Jesus.  I really hope that it wasn't really ;like that because it really bothers me that my faith is based on such people of so little morality.  But, i could be reading it wrong, i am by no means an expert.  I did ask my pastor about the book and he did say the author did take some artistic license in the writing of the book but i was a bit disappointed .
