Free Stuff Fridays (Zondervan Reflective)

This weeks giveaway is sponsored by Zondervan Reflective.

Genesis can be intimidating.

Moses wrote a weird and beautiful masterpiece that raises all sorts of questions:

  • Why are there so many genealogies?
  • Why do the heroes act like villains?
  • Why do people keep sleeping with their relatives?
  • Who are the Nephilim?
  • Why do Abraham and a random guy haggle about the price of a rinky-dink cave for a whole chapter?

And, of course, what does any of this have to do with Jesus? Or, just as vexing, what does any of this have to do with me?

We’ve probably all encountered commentaries or books that claim to help us better understand the trickier parts of scripture, but many of us have been left with the impression that we either need to learn ancient Hebrew or simply get comfortable in our confusion. That’s why Alex Duke wrote From Eden to Egypt—to give everyday Christians accessible insight into the foundational book of the Bible.

Filled with humor and observation and application along the way, From Eden to Egypt is a book for normal people. It’s a one-of-a-kind tour that will help you on your worthwhile journey to understand your Bible and, more important, the God who inspired it.

Careful readers of the Bible have many questions about Genesis. This tour of the first book of the Bible will give everyday Christians a guided tour of these wonderful stories so that they’ll see—perhaps for the first time—that it’s all there for a reason.

    Why We Can Confidently Persevere in Prayer

    I remember the days when my children were younger and would ask me to give them something—then ask me again, and ask me again. At that age, they had no ability to gain or purchase these things for themselves, so they were entirely dependent upon their parents to grant their requests (which were usually for…

    Not a Hindrance But a Prerequisite

    Many Christians feel they are too unholy or too sinful to participate in the Lord’s Supper. They come to the table downcast, convinced that their sin makes them unworthy. They may refuse to participate at all.
