In the Beginning

The Book of Genesis: Where It All Begins. God speaks and our world is born. Order emerges out of chaos, separating land from sea and night from day. Trees push up through the grassy earth, the first lizards skitter over rock and branch, and herons wing gracefully above lakes and rivers filled with fish. Then, out of the dust of the earth, God forms his finest work, fit to walk intimately with the Creator and rule wisely as his vice-regent over planet Earth. It is the beginning of human history . . . and of the story of salvation that unfolds through the rest of the Holy Bible. In the Beginning sweeps you into the progression of God's purposes from the dawn of creation to the first sin and the promise of redemption, then onward through a fascinating chain of lives and events.
