A beginning. An origin. A foundation. Knowing where we came from says much about where we are going...
The book of Genesis brings us back to the beginning, where the foundation of life itself is explained. We learn how we were created, about the origins of sin and its fallout, and how to best relate to God—through obedience and trust. We are drawn into tales of deceit, jealousy, and outright failure, where we see how God still uses flawed people.
And weaving throughout these earliest stories of humankind are the golden threads of God's promises—promises we can trace from their origins, through the course of history, up through our lives today, and beyond us to the end of time when his final promises will at last be fulfilled.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes:

• An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying.

• An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV).
