Life Lessons: Book Of Genesis

Life Lessons

by Max Lucado

A beginning. An origin. Knowing where you came from says much about where you are going. Perhaps that is why the first book of the Bible is a book of beginnings. God wants us to know from where we came. Learning that will teach us much about the place we are going. This study highlights the themes of sin and its consequences as Lucado brings us back to the beginning of the Bible. This study reminds us that Gods promises are ever present even in difficult times. Each lesson has a Scripture passage, as inspirational reading, questions to answer, space for journaling, and a prayer.

This is my second of these Bible study’s Max Lucado’s Life Lessons. I found this one far more helpful than the first, which I did Psalms. Like I said in my psalms review I think there are just far too many of them for it to be in depth. However, I felt the Genesis study was filled with helpful information and appreciated it much more.

A Jewish scholar and business colleague recommended that my partner and I should read the book of Genesis. We thought that would take a lot of time, so we settled on reading this book instead. I was pleasantly surprised. It was broken into sections for each of the main stories (Adam and Eve, Abraham/Isaac, Joseph, etc.). It was a good refresher of all the stories I knew and it provided many good questions to ponder.

It was set up to do more as a Bible study course, but you could also do it individually. I thought it was a quick, inspiring summary of the influence that God has in our lives and what we can learn from these stories to apply to the challenges in our lives.

A great way to have a more in depth study of Genesis. This study guide can be used in group settings or as a single person study which I did. There are thought provoking questions to apply scripture to your daily life. Also has Inspirational readings to drive home the Bible’s teachings and prayers to help you ask for God’s grace and wisdom in your daily walk. Highly recommend this study.
