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

Straight to the Heart Commentary

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.

Another great book by Phil Moore. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is the fact that, unlike Straight to the Heart of Job (his latest book), this one had the footnotes all the way at the end. I really liked seeing the footnotes in the same chapter in Straight to the Heart of Job and would have loved to see this in this book as well.

Brilliant commentary on Genesis. Opens a whole new view on the first book of the bible, makes it very vivid and so understandable. Especially because it is always pointing towards Jesus, the message of the bible is the same from the very first page. If you need to find a new access to Genesis, it is definitely a great book to read.
