First Amendment in the Classroom Series Book

Scared the heck out of my parents during the couple weeks I was reading this baby. Oh, I read the Large Print edition. Much easier on the eyes.

From a literary perspective, it was in dire need of a good editor. I mean, every time God tells Moses something, we get the complete text of his speech. Then, we get the exact same text again when Moses tells everyone what God said. REDUNDANCY. Could have really tightened this piece up to make the plot move much swifter.

Had problems liking anyone in this book. God was a jerk. Moses wasn't so nice. And the rest were a bunch of gossipers, back-stabbers, and liars.

Also, could we limit the number of animals we have to slaughter? The gods must be crazy!

Some nice bits about how if your slave won't leave when you free him, take an awl and drive it through his ear into your door. That's awkward.

Actually, the best bit was toward the end when they talk about helping your friends and family. Those bits were quite lovely and rational & I got a sense of where the Jewish half of my family picked up their codes of generosity.
