Walk Through the Book of Genesis: A Verse-By-Verse Exposition is as the title suggests, an exposition of each verse of the book of Genesis. It begins by explaining the need for faith to believe some of what it represents. However, it makes the case that the need for faith is not unique to the Bible, but to science as well. This book offers insightful commentary about how science affirms biblical truths about creation, and it clarifies traditionally misunderstood views about the seven-day creation week. Unique perspectives are presented about the fall of mankind, their expulsion from the garden of Eden, and the plan of God to redeem them to himself. Readers will be encouraged to observe God's commitment to his covenant, which he established with Abraham and his descendants, who were all fallible individuals; yet God blessed and provided them with hope for a brighter future in a land he promised to give them as an inheritance. Finally, Walk Through the Book of Genesis: A Verse-By-Verse Exposition pinpoints successes and failures in the lives of characters in the text. Their experiences serve as examples and inspire readers to persevere despite life's challenges.
