ForeWord 2013 Book of the Year Award Finalist (Adult Nonfiction; History) The Pilgrims' celebration of the first Thanksgiving is a keystone of America's national and spiritual identity. But is what we've been taught about them or their harvest feast what actually happened? And if not; what difference does it make? Through the captivating story of the birth of this quintessentially American holiday; veteran historian Tracy McKenzie helps us to better understand the tale of America's origins―and for Christians; to grasp the significance of this story and those like it. McKenzie avoids both idolizing and demonizing the Pilgrims; and calls us to love and learn from our flawed yet fascinating forebears. The First Thanksgiving is narrative history at its best; and promises to be an indispensable guide to the interplay of historical thinking and Christian reflection on the meaning of the past for the present.

It's a four-star; though; instead of five because it doesn't have good summaries like JR Marcus (http://www..com/gp/product/087820217X/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0) for example. Still; if you need info on Jews in in Arabia; I highly recommend this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

The only problem was that there is some water damage on the book that I don't believe was mentioned in the product information. Otherwise; the book is in pretty good condition.
