Preface

The Book of Genesis for Beginners is designed for people interested in the Book of Genesis, but find the Book of Genesis in the Bible too long to read through. The reason why I wrote this book is because I remember when I was interested in the Book of Genesis, but I could not find it in me to read through the entire first book of the Bible. I remember looking at the Bible, wanting to read it, but finding the task too big to accomplish. If I had this book available to me back then, I would be more willing to read the Book of Genesis later on.

My hopes is that after reading this book, not only will you have a much better understanding of the Book of Genesis, but later on, you will want to read the Book of Genesis in Bible. This book is basically a foot-in-the-door for you to be open to the possibility of reading the Book of Genesis in the Bible at some point in your lifetime.

God Bless,

In the garden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge were made. God put man in charge of maintaining and caring for the Garden of Eden. God commanded man not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.

God did not want man to be alone so He put animals in the garden to keep man company. However, man was not content with the company of animals. So God put man to sleep and removed a rib from him. God made a woman from the rib of man to keep
