Discovering Genesis : Start from the Beginning

An illustrative study of the book of Genesis that is suitable to be used as an aid to teach young people.

The Bible starts with a bang. In the first few chapters it addresses life's most important questions. What is God like? Why am I here? How did it all begin? Where is it all going? This practical study provides: an overview of Genesis and its themes; everyday applications of the truths of Genesis; insightful explanations of creation, the origin of evil, and God's rescue plan; helpful answers to frequently asked questions; open-ended questions for group discussion or individual study. Genesis includes some of the Bible's most fascinating stories, colorful characters, and dramatic narratives. But more than that, Genesis also provides God's answers to life's ultimate questions.

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." —Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) To the misfortune of many, this is how they view the Sabbath truth. They recognize is as truth, but because it is not convenient to their lives, they do quicken their step to move in another direction. "Unfortunately, it has been buried beneath the murky waters of human tradition, but it still exists," as author Steve Wohlberg states. The Bible clears the fog so that the truth is unmistakable. Beginning in Genesis, through the Ten Commandments and Jesus' example, the brief pages of this pocketbook declares the veracity of the Sabbath. Daniel even prophesied approximately 600 years before Christ's death that mankind would "think to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25). In Discovering the Lost Sabbath Truth, the murkiness also gives way to the facts of human tradition and the church history of how leaders attempted to change God's law to fit their own way of thinking. Finally, the author parallels Christ's Sabbath rest once He finished the creation of this world to His Sabbath rest when He concluded His earthly work of salvation. Even in death, He rested on the Sabbath day. Since the Garden of Eden, man has wanted things his way. From the cross, Jesus pleaded with us to choose Him and His day.
