Stop reading Genesis like a history book and start reading it like a Family Memoir.
The Bible begins not with a Saint, but with a series of Spectacular Failures: a Jealous Murderer, a Desperate Flood, Drunken Shame, Deception, and Slavery. The story of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph is the true-to-life record of a family that was completely broken-but chosen anyway.
The Messy Beginnings strips away the Sunday school varnish to explore the Intense Drama, flawed characters, and devastating consequences of the Book of Genesis, showing how these ancient conflicts are still playing out in our lives today.
