This unique course integrates many fields of knowledge with Genesis 1-11, and clears up the fuzzy history before Egypt. Through literature and art, it reveals startling insights about giants, dragons,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Dr. Ruth Beechick has provided an outstanding source to study the beginning of the world. Its easily comprehensible and a joy to read aloud. This book presents exceptional look at Genesis 1-11, integrating history with art, literature, and other disciplines. Convincing evidence shows that Adam and Noah were real men, and that God did send a world-wide flood. If possible get this book and "Adam and His Kin" (also by Beechick) together. You'll be glad you did. It's been a highlight of our homeschool year. I was sorry to finish these books however, we continued along this line with the full year unit "Ancient History: Adam to Messiah." (Page number readings from "Genesis: Finding Our Roots" and "Adam and His Kin" are suggested in lessons).
Excellent!!!

Ruth Beechick is an excellent writer. She has the insights of an academic in this book (as well as others), but is capable of writing to the young student as well as the adult. Highly recommended for unit study on ancient history or Bible study. Also a beautiful book, full of color photographs/graphics/fine art, and it is laid out well for the teacher.
Very Highly Recommended

Dr. Beechick has a no-nonsense way of explaining things that I'd previously wondered about. This book is a history book, the true early history of man, unashamed to read the Bible in a literal manner. And, if you want to know more, she includes an extensive annotated bibliography. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to teach ancient history from a Biblical perspective.
Wholeheartedly recommended!

This book was an answer to prayer! Dr. Beechick looks at Genesis with such extraordinary depth, yet the book is clearly readable ( I found my 8 year old son reading it when it wasn't even assigned!) Excellent home school resource or unit of study for the family of faith.
