The First Chapters of Everything: How Genesis 1 - 4 Explains our World by Alasdair Paine and published by Christian Focus Publications.
Alasdair Paine writes in his introduction, "Genesis was not given to satisfy our speculation but to bring us urgent truths about God, our world and ourselves." This book was written to bring out the beginnings recorded in Genesis - where we came from, what went wrong, and the first promise of the Saviour to come.
This fresh and readable guide aims to set the balance right. It travels through the first four chapters of Genesis, finding the writer's main teaching points and applying them to our lives. Again and again it becomes clear that this ancient book speaks radically and relevantly to today's world, while light is cast on why Genesis has been written in the way it has.
