Hearts Aflame Scripture Study approaches Scripture not as a textbook, but as a living encounter with God.

A natural starting point for Bible study, Genesis, Part I: God and His Creation debunks theories claiming that the Book of Genesis is only ancient history or even a myth. Ten lessons explore how the first eleven chapters of Genesis are a “ blueprint for the rest of salvation history,” covering themes of

• Temptation
• Sin
• Grace
• Redemption
• Sexuality
• Family
• and Covenant.

Memory verses and study questions make each lesson easy to follow and applicable to everyday life. A comprehensive leader’s guide assists readers in their responses to lesson questions, especially if encountering new or unfamiliar concepts—making Genesis ideal for customizing group Bible study to individual participants.
