Six Days of Creation
Everybody believes in something. Whether secular humanist, atheist, ardent Muslim, or other belief, all men and women have faith in something—some “source” that expresses their beliefs about who they are and why they are here.
The book of Genesis is the source for the Christian belief system. It is the foundation of everything that God has undertaken on behalf of humanity. For that reason, a correct understanding of Genesis is essential for a correct understanding of our identity, our responsibility, and our future.
Should we believe in a literal creation? Are the written words of the book of Genesis to be treated as historical fact? What does Genesis have to say about what and how God created?
Join Dr. Henry Morris III in Six Days of Creation as he explores these and other questions about the origins of all things.

An extremely convincing and compelling argument for a creator God. I felt, personally, that some parts should have been focused on a bit more but it was convincing and refreshing to see how the word of God is proven in nature.
I did have to read this for school.
And yes I am not nearly smart enough for it
And yes I'm still salty that I was assigned homework over break

In the beginning
This is a nice short cursory book on the first six days of creation. Nothing earth shattering. I have read others books by this author that are more roboust and engaging. I you are unfamiliar with the truth of creation then this is a decent starting point.

Excellent overview of what God accomplished on each day.

A brief primer on the 6 days of creation. It walks through what Genesis 1 says about each day, and tells the scientific implications. It covers Genesis 1:1-25, explaining the meaning of biblical phrases, often defining the Hebrew words.
At 48 pages, this doesn't go very deep, and I'm sure it wasn't meant to. Other books from the Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis are more thorough.
Notes
The "waters which were above the firmament" (Gen 1:7) were most likely a spherical band of "waters" surrounding Earth's atmosphere, such as a blanket of water vapor in the ionosphere. The hydrological cycle wasn't functioning the same way then (Gen 2:5-6).
The waters above ended with the Flood (2 Pet 3:5-6). We observe no "waters above" now, and today's atmosphere doesn't hold enough water to rain 40 days and nights.
The "waters above" may have been responsible for allowing Earth to support the incredible biomass that became coal and other fossil fuels, for the large plant and animals that existed (e.g., dinosaurs), and for the long human lifespans before the Flood.
