Founders of Our Faith: Genesis through Deuteronomy

From Creation to the Promised Land

About this book

This study, based on Dr. Mears' perennial best-seller, invites readers to explore the world of the biblical Patriarchs in Genesis and journey with the ancient Israelites on their liberating exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land. Through 12 sessions of study, readers will get to know Adam and Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and others, and see God's timeline for Israel's formation and salvation unfold. Plus, Dr. Mears' signature approach to the sweeping biblical narrative is to focus on Christ, so readers will also come to understand how even the earliest events of Scripture point forward to Jesus and His faithfulness to us today.

Each session includes questions for discussion or personal consideration, ideal for group or individual study, as well as journaling space for deeper reflection.
