The Great Flood: Nearly every cultural group in the world has a legend of the Great Flood. As Hap Gilliland travels the world, he likes to ask his new friends, "Do you know the story of the Great Flood?" There is nearly always an enthusiastic "Yes, of course," and the telling of another story. Although the stories vary greatly, there are two similarities in most of them, the reason for the flood and its effect on people's lives. For this book he has chosen those stories he considers most varied and most interesting, and ends with those for which there is proof of their actually having happened.
