FROM CREATION TO A FAMILY IN EGYPT

Genesis answers the great questions every reader brings to the Bible: who God is, who we are, what went wrong, and how God will make it right. Follow the story from creation and the fall, through the flood and Babel, to God's covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, and discover how the Bible's first book lays the foundation for everything that follows.
