Overview
Genesis for Teens by Andrew Gad is an Orthodox Bible study guide to the Book of Genesis for teenagers, going through Genesis character by character and story by story.
Genesis is the first book of the Bible and opens with one of the most famous first sentences ever written: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). "Genesis" itself means "beginning" in both Hebrew and Greek, and it is truly a book of beginnings.
In it we meet a broken humanity, marked by love and hatred, greed, jealousy, violence and sexual sin. Yet we also gain a unique insight into the nature of God as both Creator and Redeemer. Genesis teaches us about the problem of sin and God's plan for salvation, and reveals His relentless pursuit to restore the broken fellowship between Himself and humanity.
With Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and many others, the book is full of stories of God's relationship with people just like us: some close to God and eager to please Him, others disappointed, betrayed and helpless in their search for Him. There is a lesson in every chapter, every character and every story, and Genesis ends with a promise of God's care and a message of hope for all.
Ideal for teens reading on their own, youth groups, Sunday school classes and servants preparing Bible lessons.
