The author of the runaway bestseller How the Irish Saved Civilization has done it again. In The Gifts of the Jews Thomas Cahill takes us on another enchanting journey into history, once again recreating a time when the actions of a small band of people had repercussions that are still felt today.


The Gifts of the Jews reveals the critical change that made western civilization possible. Within the matrix of ancient religions and philosophies, life was seen as part of an endless cycle of birth and death; time was like a wheel, spinning ceaselessly. Yet somehow, the ancient Jews began to see time differently. For them, time had a beginning and an end; it was a narrative, whose triumphant conclusion would come in the future. From this insight came a new conception of men and women as individuals with unique destinies--a conception that would inform the Declaration of Independence--and our hopeful belief in progress and the sense that tomorrow can be better than today. As Thomas Cahill narrates this momentous shift, he also explains the real significance of such Biblical figures as Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the Pharaoh, Joshua, Isaiah, and Jeremiah.


Full of compelling stories, insights and humor, The Gifts of the Jews is an irresistible exploration of history as fascinating and fun as How the Irish Saved Civilization.

Tough, Fun, and Actually Lasts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
I’m seriously impressed with the PUPTILY dog toys for aggressive chewers! My dog usually destroys toys within minutes, but these have held up surprisingly well. They’re durable, entertaining, and keep my pup busy for a long time without falling apart. The material feels strong and high quality, and I love that the toys help satisfy my dog’s chewing instincts while also helping with boredom. My dog gets so excited every time I bring them out. Definitely one of the best chew toy purchases I’ve made, and I would absolutely recommend them to other dog owners with heavy chewers! Also, for some reason my dogs like the black one much better than the more expensive tan ones.

Durable
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
My hound dog seems to like hers. She greets me at the door every day with it in her mouth and she hasn’t been able to tear it up or get any little pieces in her mouth when she nib nibs on the edges. It doesn’t have a smell. It is hard. It seems safe I guess since they can’t pick it up with their paws and pop each other over the head with it but if you have an intruder it would be great to have in hand.

Surprisingly Tough Without Being Too Hard
Style: Black chew toys for dogs
The hardness on this bone is right in the sweet spot for aggressive chewers. It’s firm and durable enough that my dog hasn’t been able to tear chunks off or destroy it quickly, but it’s not rock-hard to the point where I’d worry about teeth damage. My dog usually goes through most toys pretty fast, and this one has held up really well. After extended chewing sessions, it only shows minor wear instead of deep cracks or breakage. It keeps his attention without splintering or becoming unsafe. If you’re looking for a bone that can handle strong jaws while still being safe for aggressive chewers, this one strikes a good balance and has been a solid option so far.

Not completly indestructible but good buy
Style: Black chew toys for dogs, Style: Black chew toys for dogs
Dogs loved this. I have 5 pot mixed and they all have enjoyed this. I ordered two more after they enjoyed the first one so much. So far my dogs have not been as destructive as they have been in the past (especially on my couches). I have been home more recently so it could be a combination, but I think the bones have been helpful. Sturdier than the red Kong toys, but not as indestructible as the black kongs. As durable or more than the ruff dawg balls, and much more affordable than all of those. Also, some of my dogs are more selective on toys, but this one was an immediate hit, even with my dog that has shown now interest in ANY chew toy. We even walked through pet smart one day, and i tried to get him to play with every toy on the shelf- and he was not impressed. I even showed him the scented toys that cost $40-50 each. Happy that he took to this immediately. Keep an eye out. I heard one of my dogs hacking and coughing from the other room, but by the time I heard it and got to the room, it wasn’t clear what he was choking on. I had three of these bones in the room at the time, but there was also food and such around so hard to tell. Recommend supervising your dog with the toy in the beginning at least.
