This Good Book Guide cover the momentous opening chapters of the Bible for home groups and individuals.

Description

Who are we? Where do we come from? Why is the world in such a mess? What is the meaning and purpose of life?

These are the fundamental questions of human existence that every generation asks. And they are the very questions that the first few chapters of the book of Genesis seeks to answer by pointing us to our origins.

These brief chapters that open the Bible have drawn more attention and controversy than many other parts of the Bible. But the author didn’t write to stir up controversy but rather to point us to profound and powerful answers to our deepest questions. The answers, he says, are to be found in the God who made us and who loves us.

These introductory studies in Genesis aim to get to the heart of what this foundational part of scripture is saying about our creator. The answers to all these questions are found here, and by studying what he says carefully, we will discover some wonderful things about God, some disturbing truths about ourselves, and some surprising things about His world. And the final study takes us to the conclusion of the Genesis story as it is revealed in Jesus Christ.

Other information

The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.

"The format is very user-friendly and the content is rich and accessible."
- Justin Taylor, Gospel Coalition blogger and Vice-President of Editorial, Crossway

"God-centered, application-oriented, and driven by the text throughout, this resource is a gift to God’s church."
- Matt Smethurst, Gospel Coalition reviewer and Master of Divinity student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Here at Covenant Life Church, we have greatly benefitted from the small group resources from The Good Book Company. Many small groups in our family life ministry have used "Colossians: Confident Christianity" in their study of scripture. Additionally, our youth ministry has used "Romans 1-5: God and You" in their small groups. Both resources were very easy to use, helped the reader engage directly with the scriptures, and had a wonderful pastoral emphasis demonstrated in all the questions.
- Dave Brewer, Youth Pastor at Covenant Life Church, Maryland
