"Children Of Genesis is an inspiring read. Mr. Harrill skillfully takes the reader on a journey through the Old Testament giving greater significance to people that I knew of but didn’t know well. His insight on the Canaanites helped me see them as more than merely enemies of the Israelites."

As one who studies the bible for spiritual insight and guidance, I am always intrigued and curious about the historical background, chronology and relationships of the various nations."

"Children of Genesis-The Black Nations in the Old Testament is a very thorough, concise, and historical work about black presence in the Old Testament. The author traces the nations of people after the Great Flood through the descendants of Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth."
