Genesis

by Jacques B. Doukhan

Genesis , the first book of the Holy Bible, is not just about the distant past and the faraway future. It speaks to us in the flesh of our present life; it addresses our struggles. In fact, the stories of the book of Genesis have it religion, politics, sex, violence, wars, famine, love and hatred, world-wide disasters, gastronomical interests, ethical dilemmas, suspense and intrigue-all wrapped up in a true and timeless story with cosmic bearings and eternal repercussions. Its shockingly sinful characters manage to leave a legacy of high moral and spiritual standards. See Genesis in a new light as author Jacques Doukhan shares how the stories of these ancient sinners of flesh and blood can open a door to ourselves, to our hearts, and to our minds, "for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16).

Genesis is the book of beginnings, not only of history but of the plan of salvation for humanity that God builds towards with imperfect material. Genesis, the supplement book for the Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide (2nd Quarter, 2022) by Jacques B. Doukhan, reveals that the pillars of faith that inspire so many today are in fact human and not perfect. Yet through 121 pages Doukhan dives in-depth of these sinful individuals and how God worked with them their entire lives to leave a legacy that readers today know is achievable for them as well.

The Book of Genesis is Fascinating…

… however, I struggled with some of his viewpoints on this. I obviously have a different theology than his, which is disquieting because we belong to the same doctrinal faith/belief system.

On the flip side, there were some great points to consider (& likewise, great point that we’re not addressed)!

If nothing else, this book will encourage you to dig a little deeper.
