About this listen
The third thousand years were 10 turbulent centuries filled with pathos and drama, from Abraham to David. This era includes the full panorama of the amazing life of Moses, and the flood of miracles that exceeded any other epic until the ministry of Jesus Christ; the story of Joshua, the great Ephraimite general who conquered Palestine, and the lives of Gideon, Deborah, Samson, Ruth, Eli, Samuel, and the tragic biography of the famous King Saul. All of these belong to the provocative and dramatic unfolding of events during the exiting third thousand years.
This is the second of three volumes on the Old Testament. This series was used by the author, W. Cleon Skousen, as a college text at Brigham Young University. Hundreds of thousands have sold, bringing to life the fascinating personalities of real people who lived in ancient times.

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was 23 and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age 38.

Story
There is no period when the distant roar of history can be heard pounding on the pages of the past with greater fury than during the 10 savage centuries known as "the fourth thousand years". This was the age of the first-world empires, the days when Assyria, Babylon, Greece, and Rome each displayed their passion for power. It was an age which demanded the resounding and inspired voices of many of God’s greatest spokesmen. The turbulent chaos of these centuries brought forth many mighty prophets of God—Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Jonah, Lehi, and many others.

Caused Extreme Insomnia
I really could not stop listening to these intriguing Old Testament true stories, especially as written by Cleon Skousen's unique writing style, and Adam Skousen's easy-listening narration. I tried to turn off the narration at each chapter, but ended up listening "to just ONE more Bible episode" . 4 AM found me continuing that pattern! I really didn't want to stop listening.
Embedded in each scripture telling, are facts from history, explanations of culture in those times and in the different places, and different groups of people. Also an understanding of the locations and how each scene relates to the circumstances being explained. A few word translations are introduced -- one example being that the word "harlot" can also mean "innkeeper". That puts a little different light on the incidence of Rahab, the innkeeper, saving Joshua and Caleb before the fall of Jericho.
Each Biblical story just comes alive in this book, but of course that would not matter if the narration faltered. Adam Skousen's awesome talent in reading is proven by the fact that I found myself forgetting that someone was narrating -- I became so involved in the content and the plot.
I loved this book and highly recommend it. Whether you are into scripture stories or not, I bet you'll find yourself staying up through the night listening, as I did.

New Narrated version of this book- Great choice
I have learned to love hearing the words of the first prophets on earth. Learning God’s gospel is the same today as in days of old. Now I listen to this audible and hear these stories. I hope others look up this audible and hear how great it is. I felt these stories come alive. I learned things I haven’t heard, or failed to understand before. This is an insightful supplement to all Bible studies.

a good outline of Old testament studies
This is the second book of a series, considered a classic in the LDS church. An entertaining writing style. the books are old, and contain opinions no longer supported by the church.
Still a wonderful presentation of the Old testament laws (see the appendices)

Soothing Voice
I enjoyed this book. It explained to me what I had read in my scriptures a little more. I wanted to comment on the narration. Adam Skousen has such a soothing voice. I listened to this every evening.

Difficult to "put down"
Adam Skousen, the narrator, has a excellent delivery and is very articulate. He helps his grandather's stories come to life. It is so interesting that it is a challenge to stop listening. I highly recommend this Audible Book to everyone, not just LDS listeners.
