• Dru, Thank you for writing "The Universal Story: Genesis 1-11". It brought new perspectives to me regarding the Creation story and what went on in Eden, the flood & Babel. You have taken the "big bad God who only wants to control humans" out of those stories and have changed the way I read those beautiful stories and other stories in the Bible knowing the LORD God has His sovereign & righteous reasons for everything He does. The perspective on good & evil was very helpful. We do complain "Oh, why me?" when something bad happens to us, but when has anyone ever said "Oh, why me?" when something good happens to them? We do seem to think we deserve good things but not bad things. Your book has made me realize that I must read & think more carefully about the scriptures to truly know LORD God and understand His intentions and plan. Again, thank for writing the book. Edie
