[Matthew Keck · Rating 4 out of 5]

Actually listened to her "Genesis 101" lecture series/audiobook, but that's not on Goodreads. Likely very similar, if not the same content, and was very interesting! Relatively short and engaging. Cool random thing to stumble onto.

Good introductory material in approaching Genesis for a contemporary christian readership.
