Dedication:

This book is deidicated to the memory of Noah, whose faith and adherance to pricipal amid the prevailing licentiousness of his day make him one of the most outstanding historical figuers of all time; and to the proposition that his great ship, the Ark, still exists in a remote fastness of the "mountains of Ararat" on the Eastern Turkey frontier.

First Sentence:

Does Noah's Ark still exist?

Last Sentence:

May contain spoilers

His covenant with Noah could most gloriously be seen above the flooded plain; and gives us one more reason to believe the reports that the great object glimpsed from time to time upon the northern slopes of the majestic mountain must truly be Noah's abandonded old ship!

Noah's Ark:
Fable or Fact?

Does Noah's Ark still exist? Can modern man still believe the ancient Biblical story of the Flood? Can we accept the as truth the ever-increasing rumors that Noah's great ship has been sighted, and even photographed and entered, during the past century of time? Is it possible that the widely-publicized and frequently-displayed pieces of hand-tooled timber recovered by Fernand Navarra from a crevasse high on Mount Ararat in 1955, and again in 1969, were once actually a part of the Ark?

These, and many other questions relating to this controversial subject, have stirred the imagination and excited the curiosity of many thoughtful persons today. To provide satisfactory answers to as many of these questions as possible is the purpose of this book. It is the result of 27 years of persistent, painstaking investigation into the subject by Eryl Cummings, and contains authenticated accounts of the various reported modern sightings of the Ark since 1840.

This fascinating book by Violet Cummings, wife of the famed explorer who has five times climbed the Mountain of Ararat in attempts to rediscover the Ark of Noah, examines the evidence of the ten expeditions who have sighted the Ark in the last 117 years.

I got this from my mother and father's book shelf when I began to get interested in Christian books.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
