Once A God Allen E Goldenthal

In Once A God, Allen E. Goldenthal uses his internationally acclaimed story-telling abilities to provide the biographical sketch of the most fascinating figure from the Bible. A man that has shaped our world and yet, the Bible reveals practically nothing about his own life. From his youthful days as a Prince in the household of the Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian Royal family, the author uses the wealth of historical and biblical manuscripts, the bounty of geo-historiographical records, the latest evidence from volcanologists and recent findings from scientific research and Egyptian archaeology to knit together the most fascinating and compelling profile of a man that was forced to wrestle with his own humanity and ultimately changed the world. Using the strikingly contrasting events of his own epic life, the reader watches as Moses matures into the epic hero that we glimpse in the Bible but never fully comprehend how he came to choose a path that so few men would tread. Charged with the felonious crime of murder, he has no other choice but to embrace the mantle that his now dead grandfather had left to him through a series of riddles concealed within a hidden archive protected by the High Priestess of Isis in the land of Goshen. Allen Goldenthal presents the reader with the most detailed profile of a man that we all know by name but know so very little about. We walk in his shoes as he becomes a rebel willing to defy his own family in search of a God that very few had encountered. As he deciphers his grandfather's mysterious clues, it takes him into the far off lands of Kush and Midian, where we find ourselves standing alongside on that very mountain where Moses comes face to face with Almighty God. From Prince, to mortal man, to rebel leader, this is the story of how one man became an inspiration to every generation, past, present and future. Finally we can appreciate the true miracle of the Exodus.
