Have you ever tried to read Genesis, only to stop, frustrated, when you arrived at the first genealogy? Then take this opportunity to enjoy -- perhaps for the first time -- the sweeping saga of Genesis, the book of beginnings and blessings, as taught by Keith to the congregation at Emmanuel Bible Fellowship. From the origin of the universe, and the creation and fall of man . . . to the origin of the Hebrew Nation, and the stories of Abraham, Issaac, Jacob and Joseph, Genesis spans over 2400 years of human history. So much more than a history book, Genesis portrays the great fathers of our faith in all their stark humanity, and shows how God turned even their most heinous sins to His own glory, and redeemed them -- and us -- from the pit. Keith keeps the pace of Genesis brisk in this series, but leaves no stone unturned as he visits every chapter and verse with his in-depth teaching style. This series is sure to change your opinion of the book of Genesis, as it challenges and encourages you in ways you've probably never expected.

You'll never read Ecclesiastes the same way again, once your eyes are opened to the beautiful nuggets of hope and encouragement it contains for living the daily grind with your eyes on Jesus and your heart on eternity.
