Heroes of Old Don Towle

This is Book 3 of the trilogy, "Heroes of Old". Shem's world was upended when his father proclaimed Yahweh was bringing a flood to destroy mankind. Had his father gone crazy? Building a giant ark to save the animals? It was madness. But what about the dream his grandfather, Lamech, shared with them as children? Was the flood a fulfillment of the dream? His brothers had differing opinions, but how could any of them go against their father? Join Shem as he and his brothers build the ark with their father, confront the local people's ridicule, and prepare for the flood. Later when people gathered in Babylon to support Nimrod in building a giant tower instead of scattering over the earth, Shem goes to confront him. What was it like when the languages were confused? What does Shem think when the people seem to have become just as evil as before the flood? Was the flood and the destruction of mankind all for nothing? Was Adam wrong about God's commitment to restore man back to how he was in Eden?
