Not only for what it says; but for how it says it. It depicts human beings with all their flaws and anguish; as well as their virtues and their struggles to serve God. There are a few parts; such as Solomon's blessing of his son Menelik; that made me cry. It is a treasure that most people don't know about (at least Americans don't); and should be read by all Christians; or anybody else for that matter. Having said that; as far as this edition goes; I have to say that it has some flaws. There are many typos which; if a new edition is published; should be corrected; as some of them are obvious and give the impression that the publisher is just sloppy. The other puzzling thing is that although the Kebra is about the time of Solomon; all the illustrations are depictions of Mary and Jesus. What's up with that?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy William Blanton Sr.good15 of 18 people found the following review helpful. RIP OFFBy Christopher L. FesslerI would have given this book zero stars but 1 was the lowest allowed. This is a total cheap rip off chop job reprint. I could take the corn ball dread lock guys pasted on the cover with green crowns on their heads but they don't tell you that they have completely left out Budge's introducti0n. I had to go find it on line and download it (the whole book is online by the way; if you care to read/ print it).The typface is in at least two different fonts.How they got an actual photograph of Makeda; the legendary Queen of Sheba is beyond me.When you look through the index; they have left in all the references to the missing introduction so there are all these entries in roman numerals that do not exist.Give me a break.
