Straight to the Heart of Genesis Summary

Straight to the Heart of Genesis: 60 bite-sized insights by Phil Moore

To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to remain a child always, claimed the Roman orator Cicero. Perhaps that's why Genesis is one of the most loved and hated books ever written. Genesis - the name is simply the Greek word for Origins - is the God-inspired history of the world from its inception, and right from the outset it was always controversial.

God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

Straight to the Heart of Genesis Reviews
