The world is spiraling toward destruction, and one man receives a divine mandate.

Young Noah has found life good and wholesome, until he steps outside his village and discovers a world of temptation. Drawn by a beautiful woman, yet repulsed by the pagan practices of her tribe's dark worship, his inner struggle keeps him in torment.

Noah strains to hear the voice of God, through the warnings of a prophet, through the kind teachings of his grandfather Methuselah, through the loving concern of his family, and ultimately through personal confrontation. The message he receives is terrifying. Will he find the courage to obey?

Opposition intensifies to the call he has received, but a precious medallion handed down from ancient times reminds him of who he is, a man with a heart of a lion.

This book gives an excellent view of what Noah's early life might have been like. Who knows how close this author may have come to the realness of his life. He was human and did live a natural life in his allotted time. Great man, great man of God, Great listening of how it could have happened for him. I loved this book.

Excellent, Wonderful Book!

This book series quickly became a favorite. The storyline is wonderful, and the reader is so great!! My husband got me listening to these books and I loved them so much that I actually finished the 2nd and 3rd books before he did! I was ready to start the 4th book in the series and it wasn’t available. Please add the rest of these books with the same wonderful reader!! I highly recommend the first 3 books at least! Such a variety of characters to fall in love with and the story brings actual historical events into play with the author’s take on some of those famous historical characters during important events throughout history. Loving God and having faith to trust His ways is also a theme through the pages. I can’t say enough how much I have enjoyed the first 3 books. My favorite types of books are full of action, love stories and also add some humor and these books are full of each of these. I laughed, I cried. Bravo! Let’s hear the rest 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Please upload the rest!!

I very much enjoyed this interpretation and storyline created by the author of the biblical Genesis account of Noah and his time in the history of this world. It gave some food for thought. Loyd James is a masterful narrator. He gave the book life with the voices of old and young, men and women done so very well.

Great story!

I have always loved the story of Noah.
It was an exciting, miraculous story
of how the good guys win and the bad guys
won their just deserts....
As I became older, the concept of justice and
mercy made this story more complicated and
this is what I appreciated about the "Heart of a Lion".
It was a hard thing for a human man to comprehend the working of the Creator. The difference between how the mind of God and the mind of humanity saw good and evil, happiness and safety, and yes justice and mercy.
Noah looked for the heart of God and so developed a steadfast (great old word) trust in Him.
The old story unfolds with fresh heart wrenching yet heart warming twists. The characters are all neighbours, friends and family. Real hearts and minds are involved, for good or ill.
It made me appreciate the confusion man can come to without knowing (in the real sense) a different supreme Being.... Someone who doesn't think like a human, but very, very clearly.
What does that look like?
It's hard, but He is good.

It was great to meet Methusalah and hear his take on his dad Enoch...how his long life impacted on the next generations, especially Noah. It was so much fun.
Aso, I loved the concepts of the new, primitive world, close to creation, fallen, yet amazing.
It was so plausible, even probable and I really enjoyed it.

The beginning of an amazing partnership and love

It was interesting to imagine what things could have been like for Noah and his family.

Enjoyable and Insightful

Listening to this age old story brought to mind the prophecies that “in the last days it shall be as in the days of Noah…”

I can see that every night in the news. What was new for me was the recognition that Noah preached in love faithfully to his generation warning them of what was to come even though No-one responded.

I feel challenged to be so faithful and obedient and refuse to isolate myself with a mentality of survival just for myself and my family and loved ones.

Come quickly Lord Jesus

Gave me new insights

The title is deceiving, it doesn't make you think of story of Noah. As the story unfolds you forget the title and begin to travel to a time that sounds a lot like today. I can't imagine the weight of the assignment Noah was charged to carry out. This story is clear and colorful, great job!
