Genesis Part I: God and His Creation, Genesis 1–11

Gayle Somers and Sarah Christmyer have teamed up to launch Hearts Aflame Scripture Study, a series that blends the advantages of in-depth inductive Bible study with the richness of Catholic teaching.

A natural starting point for Bible study, Genesis, Part I: God and His Creation debunks theories claiming that the Book of Genesis is only ancient history or even a myth. Ten lessons explore how chapters 1–11 of Genesis are a “blueprint for the rest of salvation history,” covering themes of temptation, sin, grace, redemption, human sexuality, family, and covenant. Memory verses and study questions make each lesson easy to follow and applicable to everyday life. A comprehensive leader’s guide assists readers in their responses to lesson questions, especially if encountering new or unfamiliar concepts—making Genesis ideal for customizing group Bible study to individual participants.

About the Series: Hearts Aflame Scripture Study approaches Scripture not as a textbook, but as a living encounter with God. With vivid commentary, memory verses, and a detailed leader’s guide to all lesson questions, this program is welcoming to beginners, young adults, Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
