WORDS FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan,
And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants,
until the coming of the one to whom it belongs,
the one whom all nations will honor.
BLESS THE NAME OF JESUS!

A whole lot of incest, adultery, sibling jealousy and more! I wanted to give it 4 stars because it included the creation of the earth and the universe, but a lot of Abraham’s descendants pissed me off. However, my favorite descendant of Abraham was Joseph, it was refreshing to see someone not marry a million women and he stayed grounded throughout all the hardships he went through. Hopefully the Bible has more protagonists like him!

Uno de los libros más interesantes que he leído, entendiendolo tanto desde la creencia religiosa como un libro de ficción, es de lo más enriquecedor.
Funciona tanto como un resumen como una introductoria a lo que es la religión católica desde la raíz, por lo que considero que es el mejor libro para empezar la lectura a libros religiosos y expandir el conocimiento en este tema que tan inquietante.
I actually fw god on this one lmao
