This book is a Bible Study of the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. The Bible text used for this study is the King James Version (KJV). This Book is the first book in the Series entitled Journey Through the Bible.

This book is a Study Guide for the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. The Bible text used for the study is the King James Version (KJV). It is fitting that we should start with Genesis, which is the book of Beginnings. Genesis: The Book of Beginnings is the first book in this series of Journey Through the Bible.

Genesis means "the beginning" and it is a book of beginnings. It records the creation of the world and the beginning of the nation of Israel. Chapters 12-50 focus on one man, Abraham, and his descendants. Abraham, his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob are called the patriarchs of Israel. Jacob's twelve sons are the beginnings of the twelve tribes of Israel. Through Joseph, one of Jacob's sons, the whole family settles in Egypt.

The word Genesis means origin or creation. Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, is a book of beginnings. It has been said that every major doctrine has its seed or beginning in Genesis. For example, the material universe, the human race, sin, the promise of the Messiah, languages and the Hebrew nation all have their beginnings in the book of Genesis. For this reason Genesis is called the seed pot of the whole Bible. Every great fact, truth and revelation is found in this book in germ form. The book of Genesis is essential to the understanding of all the other books of the Bible.

Moses wrote the book of Genesis about 1500 years before Christ. Moses received the oracles directly from God. They were not handed down by word-of-mouth (Acts 7: 37, 38). God can just as easily tell a person the past as he can the future. The book Genesis covers a time period of nearly 2500 years, from the Creation to the journey of Israel into Egypt.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great study Guide that is well written.

I Highly recommend this study guide. When one wants to study the bible with more intent, it is often hard to know how to start. Well now you have help. This study guide will take you by the hand and lead you through. I thought I knew a lot about Genesis, however, I was wrong and learnt so much more.

This guide is amazing. Well done Russell Sherrard!

5.0 out of 5 stars but are placed easily in the linked Appendix which ebook users will find ...
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2014
Genesis-Book of Beginnings should be the electronic travel companion for anyone who wants time to study the Bible, but cannot attend a formal group study or lives an “on-the-go” type of lifestyle.

The formatting is genius. Russell Sherrard includes each scripture passage, gives simple instructions, then allows the reader to have time to process and answer the questions on their own before immediately reading the answers. The answers are not embedded in the text, which can sometimes interrupt a person’s own examination of scripture, but are placed easily in the linked Appendix which ebook users will find extremely helpful.

Whether used for individual study, youth or adult bible studies, Genesis-Book of Beginnings provides an easy to follow and thorough examination of the first book of the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for basic Bible knowledge
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014
This, the first in many Journey Through The bible studies is a great source for any new Christian, but it would be great for any Christian who just wants to brush up on things long heard, but no longer in the forefront. The questions are on basic Bible knowledge - nothing it would take a philosopher to answer - and will leave the Bible student with the basic truths of the book.I recommend this study to any church or Sunday school, regardless of the denomination, who wants and needs a closer acquaintance with the Word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done!
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014
This book is very well done. Genesis - The Beginning is written in a clear, concise format and and will serve as an excellent workbook for anyone seeking basic Bible knowledge and the questions really help to lead the reader to greater understanding. While I admit this is not a genre I usually read I learned quite a lot, and have already recommended it to my sister who teaches a Bible study class at her church.
