The book of Genesis is key to understanding God's plan for mankind. Without the Genesis account, we would not fully understand the fall of man and the introduction of sin into our world. Genesis introduces us to God's call, God's family, and the beginnings of God's nation. Phillip Eichman skillfully pulls practical lessons from Genesis to help us grapple with some of the major concepts of our relationship with God and deftly weaves God's story into our story.
