God Prepares a World: Messianic Insights Into Genesis (Vol.1)

You are invited to start at the very beginning... but with a fresh perspective that will provide answers to many long-held questions and cause you to reexamine some presuppositions about the first chapters of the book of Genesis. L. Grant Luton, author of "In His Own Words: Messianic Insights into the Hebrew Alphabet", takes the reader on a remarkable journey of discovery and insight through the first eleven chapters of the Bible that will inform the mind and feed the soul. Weaving fresh understanding and insight from a Messianic-Jewish perspective into the ancient text, but in a way that any reader can grasp, the author kindles a sense of wonder as the story of the creation of the world unfolds. Be prepared to be challenged, amused, informed, and inspired. There is no greater story, and "Messianic Insights Into Genesis: God Prepares a World" enables you, the reader, to experience the story in a uniquely profound way that will change your life. The first eleven chapters of Genesis cover a period of 2,000 years, as if God is racing to get to the meat of the story He wants to tell - the story of Abraham. Abraham lived 175 years, but his story occupies more than thirteen chapters. So this book - "God Prepares a World" - prepares us for the amazing story that follows. We will address such questions as the age of the earth, where Cain got his wife, why Noah cursed his grandson, why the Torah begins with the letter ב (beit), and how the first chapter of Genesis alludes to Abraham himself. You will discover allusions to Messiah Yeshua throughout the text as you develop a new, but grounded approach to studying the Bible through a Hebraic mindset. Written in plain English, this is a thorough yet unstuffy commentary on Genesis that the reader is sure to find refreshingly eye-opening.
