Genesis

I found this book incredibly insightful if you are looking to see God's nature more clearly. Though I am not a member of a denominational, and tend to stay clear of books written to support teachings of a churches doctrine - the bottom line on this book is that it will assist you in getting a better picture of God and His BIGGER plan.

Prof. Jeske gives an easy-to-read summary of Genesis, one of the most fascinating books of the O.T. The book goes verse by verse through the text, with running commentary every ten verses or so. This is the standard format for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's series of the People's Bible.While this won't answer every exegetical question, it remains a very good introduction for the average reader. The story of Genesis is expounded in a simple, sound manner.
