Christ Before Creation: Introducing Christ and the Unseen Realm

by Gene Edwards

Come, take my hand. Together let us go into God...into the very center of God Himself.
Gene Edwards thus takes you on a journey into God, there to explore the invisibles.
You will discover that the center of God is Christ...at a time before Christ created. Be there with Him before He created. You will discover there is much which Christ did before He created. Watch as He passes farther into the eternals. Here is Christ before angels, Christ even before nothingness, and Christ the One who is all.
There has never been anything similar to this journey through the supernatural. Here is a book without parallel.
What is it like to become familiar with seeing the unseen, to live in, to think in and to comprehend another realm, with no up, no down, no space, no time...a place before time, mass or dimension? Meet a transcended Lord outside the space-time continuum, a Lord free of the fetters of creation.
Journey with your Lord who lives in the eternal now.
No subject has been more neglected (and needed) than that of understanding - and touching - the invisibles.

I really loved reading this book. As someone who has wrestled with these questions, I found this book very awesome and comforting. I know not everyone will agree to the theory being proposed and might find it offensive to their theology. But overall, I found it a great theory and a solid one for these questions we can’t fully answer anyways. His ways are above ours and so this mere picture is another glimpse at what is possible.

Explaining Christ before he created the world is a hard enough concept to understand for believers let alone non-believers.

This is a fictionalized account of what may have occurred before God created the world based on Bible references. Based on what I have read and learned over the last five years makes this account seem extremely plausible to me.

The subtitle is “Introducing Christ and the Unseen Realm.” Second time I remember seeing this reference in the past year.

What is nice about these books is that they are short and the chapters are short, so they could be read in one sitting. Gene Edwards is able to write this topic so it is engaging, but understandable. He gets his point across in few words and then he builds upon it.

This particular one I started and got interrupted and didn’t finish it. When I opened it again last night I realized I needed to reacquaint myself with what I read as it was the first time I read something like this and couldn’t remember the foundation.

This book provided more context for the world we live in and beautifully explained my relationship with Jesus. It gave me hope, peace and joy. I highly recommend and hope you are at a place in your life where you can understand and appreciate.

For a book solely about Christ, it is stunningly lacking Biblical backbone. It does offer some interesting thoughts and ideas regarding the intersection of predestination and free will, but (up until the final chapter) there were only five mentions of scripture verses — and hardly any of them support some of the assertions made. Without exhaustively picking the book apart, there are several statements that scripture directly contradicts. Books like these are a dangerous and welcome arena for false teaching.

This book warrants slow, reflective reading, w/pauses to absorb. The author's quality of spiritual discernment is splendid & infused w/another level or dimension of spiritual truth. Something about it feels immediately immutable, like an irrefutable confirmation of God's existence & His True Plan for us. Reading it imparts a sense of Divine Love. An amazing book. Stunning. A beautiful experience.

Good book! Emphasized how God is at the beginning and the end - very comforting!
