Genesis

Rich, evocative and dignified, the King James Version of the Bible remains the favorite of millions of readers for both inspirational and poetic qualities. Although the book of Genesis is not the only ancient work to survive through the centuries since the beginning of recorded history, it remains a thoroughly unique document, standing head and shoulders above the others. It transcends the primitive mythologies of the ancient Near East as a divine account of Earth's earliest ages. Genesis is informative in its content, beautiful in its arrangement and inspiring in its appeal. There is something of value for everyone: the scientist, the historian, the theologian, the housewife, the farmer, the traveler and the man or woman of God. As a revelation of the mind of God to the minds of men, Genesis makes a fitting beginning for the story of God's love for his creation.
