Here's the story of the Great Pyramid and the people who built it. In the author's telling, the Old Kingdom comes alive: a nation of farmers living on the green edge of a harsh desert with a king who was a god in life and in death.
Tens of thousands of farmers left home each year to chisel hard stone without iron tools and move 10-ton blocks up steep grades without the use of a wheel, all to the glory of the Pharaoh.
From the Publisher:
Whether you love it or loathe it, Christmas is certainly hard to ignore. There are parties and plays to attend, shopping and decorating to organize, as well as all that food to eat and presents to receive.
But among all the wrappings and trimmings, the whisper of hope, joy and peace can be hard to hear, let alone understand.
In this short and readable book, Paul Williams 'rips open the paper' from the Christmas message. You’ll discover the greatest gift at the heart of Christmas and how it can transform how you celebrate Christmas this year.
