Travel through Egypt

...this book will be a rewarding purchase. Although plainly not exhaustive, it touches on all aspects of Egypt & as an introduction to the subject, it will certainly whet the appetite...clear & modern layout. With an abundance of photographs, it is interesting just to browse through reading the captions, but the attendant text beckons, the fascination of Egypt soon takes a grip, & facts, history & wonder draw the reader on to more. This effect means that children will gain much from it as well as adults. The more sensitive, younger child may however be put off by the photos of mummies heads! The mores serious reader will find much information crammed into its pages. With chronologies, lists of Pharoahs, & ancient Egyptian gods, copious Bible references & many compelling details it is most enlightening. There is a list of contents at the front & the subheadings are also useful for pinpointing what you are looking for. This makes it an invaluable tool for the preacher or Sunday School teacher. It is entitled 'Travel through Egypt' & as a travel guide it is also useful, with helpful travel information, guides to museums & outlines of what is where, it can help in tours, or even in deciding which part of Egypt you might like to visit. I would however recommend reading through it before setting off as it will lay a foundation for the sights of the land. All in all this is an excellent addition to the 'Travel Series'
