Publisher's Synopsis
Short, relevant and inspirational studies for each chapter of the Bible book of Genesis. Bite-sized and ideal for personal meditation, family bible time, group bible studies and preparing bible talks.
Jesus based his teaching on the Old Testament scripture, and surprisingly, rather than suggest we study it, he told us to eat a portion of it daily! Taking a small portion of the Bible as our daily diet will help us transform day-by-day into a character like Jesus.

Writing in an engaging and conversational style, Rob de Jongh provides Food for Thought for each chapter of the book of Genesis, a book forming the foundations for the whole Bible narrative from Exodus to Revelation.
The book of Genesis is the start of God's revelation to mankind, and in the very first pages establishes the plan of God - prophecying that a "seed" would come to tackle sin and destroy its deathly bite. It shows us the effects of sin on the world, that if left unfettered such a world would need to be destroyed as God did with the flood of Noah. And it gives us the hope of the gospel proclaimed in the promises to faithful Abraham, that if we believe God, our faith can be counted for righteousness.
The book of Genesis sets the basis for society and a life well lived, starting with the most basic lessons of creation, obedience, the effect of sin, and of developing the conscience between right and wrong.
