History

I'm not Jewish; I'm a Christian, and I learned so much about their history. In our faith, we gather people from all religions worldwide to discuss how we can help and support impoverished countries. This audiobook is considered helpful for those people who may not know anything about Jews and for those who do not have the time to learn about the history of the Jews. The Jewish religion and culture are inspiring and uplifting, and I enjoy hearing the history of past prophets like Moses and Abraham, who were great people on the earth. Jews bring new insights and build and shape our society into a peaceful culture. I enjoy the story and the performance of the narrator.
