Being a Latter Day Saint of the Church of Jesus I have read the marvelous witness and wonder (The Book of Mormon) and have read the New Testament which concerns the magnificent teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ. I was taught the stories of Old Testament when I was young. However later I had come across of some strange accounts which intrigued me. Wanting to get to the truth of some of the more unusual accounts I read the Third Thousand Years. Skousen masterfully takes the reader into a more in depth look at the Old Testament. I highly recommend the Third Thousand Years if you desire a greater understanding of the Old Testament or as a companion source as you're studying the Old Testament.
I thoroughly enjoyed this "experience".  I would read 5 or 6 pages and then go back an reread something on the first of those pages that had just dawned on me.  This was true for the entire read.  I have a good relationship with my maker and the traditional church where I belong.  This book did not conflict with either of those in my opinion, just opened my mind a bit further.  I think that is what Jesus was trying to do.
