This book could only have been Spirit-inspired. I have never read a more clear understanding of mankind's foundation in God. I felt as though God Himself was speaking and giving clarity to so many issues that arise from whence man came and why......I trust that any person who has doubts about the love of God and why He continues to reach out to us will read this book.
Anne Graham Lotz is truly anointed to teach the Word of God and she does an awesome job! She obviously had a wonderful start to her Ministry, growing up the Daughter of Billy Graham and the Grand Daughter of a gifted Missionary who brought thousands to Christ in China! You'll love it as well if you love Christ!
This is a older study but so enlightening! Anne Graham Lotz is considered her dads successor and when studying her work, you see why. She has such insight into who God is and the ability to convey it so simply to her audience. Be sure and get the companion videos.
Ms Lotz clearly has been inspired to use the first 11 chapters of Genesis to think deeply about both the history presented there and the implications of it for our relationship with God. She asks the reader to probe his heart with questions like "Have you been disappointed by your parents?" (in the context of the section on Cain & Abel) and "In what ways have you been giving God your second best?" (in the same section). She also speculates about what might have been going on in these historical characters' lives and minds that might explain their actions. If I have any criticism of the book, it's that a reader who is not careful might be led to believe that the speculations are, in fact, the truth of the situation. But that's a minor quibble. I lead a Bible study that is currently focused on Genesis, and I use this book along with a commentary and study notes to prepare for the study, and have found it very helpful. If you're interested in trying to understand some of the puzzling passages in the early chapters of Genesis (I loved her speculation about who the "sons of God" and "daughters of men" are and find it very plausible), or would just like to think more deeply about the first writings that revealed God's relationship to humankind, I would highly recommend this book.
I had already read the book and was so impressed that I wanted to buy books as birthday presents for two adult grandchildren.I highly recommend it as great for anyone to read.
All of Ann Graham Lotz's books are a joy to read. I would recommend it.
This book was o.k.--it didn't really "grab" my attention.
still reading so much in the book it will take some time.
