Description

Foundations of Faith, Volume 1: Books of Genesis through Proverbs
by Sidney St James

Begin the Bible's grand story at the very start—and follow it to the songs and wisdom that shaped a people. Written in clear, everyday language, this novel-style retelling makes the Old Testament feel close, vivid, and unforgettable for high-school readers and adults alike.

What's inside

Genesis: creation, calling, and covenant—Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, and Joseph's rise in Egypt. Exodus–Deuteronomy: Moses, the plagues, the Red Sea, Sinai's law, wilderness tests, and a promise that survives failure and fear. Joshua–Judges–Ruth: conquest, courage, and costly choices—plus a tender story of loyalty that changes Israel's future. Samuel–Kings–Chronicles: Saul's turmoil, David's heart and battles, Solomon's temple, and a kingdom learning (and forgetting) to trust God. Ezra–Nehemiah–Esther: exile, return, rebuilding—and one queen's brave stand. Job–Psalms–Proverbs: honest suffering, worship that sings, and practical wisdom for work, family, friendship, and faith.
