Publisher's Synopsis
Who is this God we believe in, and does He really care about us? Genesis is more than a description of creation, it is God's invitation to get to know Him and the people He calls His own. Story by story, God introduces His family. Walk under the starry sky of a defeated Abraham. Hide behind locked doors with Lot and his terrified daughters. Listen in on Rebekah's whispered kitchen instructions to her favorite son, Jacob, as they cook up a stew of trouble. Find out there's more to Joseph than a spoiled little brother's designer coat. More often than not, you'll discover it's the "good guys" going down the wrong path with blood on their sandals. These aren't the stories you thought you knew. This isn't the God you thought you knew. He is not quietly floating in the heavens looking on. He's standing in the middle of His rebellious children, reaching out with open arms and a bar of soap to wash them clean. God has been dealing with the mess of flawed and broken people from the very beginning. Through these intimate small stories from Genesis, we find the heart of a very Big God.
