The book of Genesis is the foundation of the entire Bible. But how do you teach it to your kids?
Everyone knows the famous stories—Adam and Eve, Noah's ark, Joseph and his colorful coat. But most people only know them as isolated Sunday school lessons. They miss the thread that ties fifty chapters together: a promise made in a garden that will take two thousand years to fulfill.
Genesis isn't just a collection of ancient tales. It's the origin story of everything—the universe, humanity, sin, death, and God's rescue plan. It's the backstory of Israel and the family tree of Jesus. It's where we learn why the world is beautiful and broken at the same time, and why we desperately need a Savior.
But Genesis is also messy. There's violence—brothers murdering brothers, cities destroyed by fire, a flood that wipes out nearly everything. There's dysfunction—patriarchs who lie, cheat, play favorites, and make terrible decisions. And there's moral complexity that doesn't always come with neat answers.
What Is the Book of Genesis? makes this essential book accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't sanitize the hard parts or talk down to kids, this guide walks through all fifty chapters of Genesis with:
Engaging illustrations from pop culture—from The Lion King to Frozen to Coco—that connect biblical themes to stories kids already know and love
Honest engagement with difficult content—handling violence, flawed heroes, and moral complexity in age-appropriate ways that spark real conversations
The big picture that ties it all together—showing how every story connects to one central thread: God's unstoppable plan to bless the world through Abraham's family
Real-life application—helping kids see how the struggles of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph speak to their own experiences of waiting, failure, family conflict, and trusting God when life doesn't make sense
Whether your child is asking hard questions about why bad things happen, learning that God uses imperfect people, or ready to understand how the Bible's first book sets up everything that comes after, What Is the Book of Genesis? will show them that the God who created the universe is still keeping his promises today.
Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.
