GG:The Series: Genesis to Glory – The Journey Begins
What if the Bible could make you laugh, think, and gasp—all in one sitting? Enter The Series – Book The Journey Begins, the first installment of an epic adventure through Scripture that brings the book of Genesis to life like you’ve never experienced before.
From the heavenly boardroom to a dusty desert, this first volume takes you on a journey from the beginning of time all the way to Abraham’s family drama—just before Isaac enters the picture. It’s packed with humor, theology, and plenty of “Wait, that’s in the Bible?!” moments.
What You’ll Find
1. Heaven’s Grand Imagine a divine boardroom meeting where God calls creation into existence. It’s not chaos—it’s creativity at its finest. From light and darkness to Adam and Eve, it all starts here. The fruit wasn’t worth it.
2. Family Feuds and Human Humanity hits the ground running (and stumbling). Cain gets jealous, the Tower of Babel topples, and Noah builds a floating zoo. This is where faith meets failure—and God’s grace steps in every time.
3. Promises and Plot Meet Abraham, the father of nations, whose faith is tested more times than you’d think possible. From leaving his homeland to nearly sacrificing his son (stay tuned for Book Two!), Abraham’s story is a rollercoaster of trust, failure, and redemption.
4. Women Who Steal the Sarah laughs at God’s promises (wouldn’t you if you were 90?), and Hagar finds herself in a love triangle gone wrong.
Why You’ll Love This
• Laugh-Out-Loud Ever picture Noah trying to herd cats onto the ark? Or Abraham awkwardly explaining to Sarah why Hagar is pregnant? These stories are told with a wink and a grin but never lose their theological depth.
• Theological Insights That Each chapter digs into the meaning behind the stories, helping you see how they connect to God’s grand plan for humanity—and for you.
• Cliffhangers and Twists Genesis is anything but predictable. What happens when God decides to wipe out the world and start fresh? Or when Abraham’s nephew, Lot, finds himself in the middle of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Who’s This Book For?
