"Since Wright's aim is to serve as a storyteller for the 'general reader', the book is written in a very readable style. The way in which Wright weaves together the geography and history with the story of the biblical characters enables the reader to get a clear picture of the events described. The many fine color maps and photographs nicely support the text. . . . this book is unusual – perhaps unique – in its approach to historical geography, is well written and easily read. . . ." - Alan D. Ingalls, Baptist Bible Seminary, Clarks Summit, PA
