Got that on the Kindle too. A great read.

I find the history and practices of these ancient people interesting, comical at times, but beneficial to consider. from a pure aesthetics point of view, I say "walk like an eyptian" (to the theme of the popular song of course!)
I'm not Christian, but I enjoyed a documentary on that subject just a few days ago. These people who have studied the archaeology related to the story have come up with some evidence of times and places and how, what, where and why. They even pin pointed the true location of mount Sinai. Is that something important?! They made out like it was.


As for classics, and reading them to the kids, I find I sometimes have to relent on my kindle reading time so that my eldest can read some classic folk and fairy tales that she has on my e-reader. I'll get her one of her own when she is a bit older.
