I love the questions because they encourage the reader to think for themselves and thinking critically about the Bible is an important skill that all believers should strive to acquire. Some of my favorite aspects about it are its lack of fill-in-the-blank notes and its use of open-ended questions. This study covers creation, the fall, Cain & Abel, the flood, and more. I always say the Bible is like an onion, with endless layers which the Holy Spirit peels back, one layer at a time. And no matter how much we study the Word, God always wants to reveal something new to us. However, it’s incredibly important as believers, that we never stop learning, and seeking God’s wisdom and insight. I mean, I’ve read and learned about Genesis 1-11, since I was a little girl. “But I know what happens in these chapters, why would I want to do this study?” Here’s the thing, before I begin any study, I pray that God will reveal something new to me. God of Creation is a 10-week study on Genesis, chapters 1-11. But after finishing this study, I felt like I really do have a better understanding of Scripture, and I felt like even my husband would enjoy this! Mostly, because I love expository teaching of the Word, and most women’s studies tend to be a little more expressive and I really just want to know more about the Word. I tend to be somewhat wary of studies created by, or directed towards, women. God’s been impressing a lot on my heart these last few weeks, as I’ve been studying the book of Proverbs, so I figured I should get this book review on God of Creation, by Jen Wilkin posted while it’s still somewhat fresh in my memory.
