"Dr. Dixon is a skilled and faithful pastor, whose serious study and pastoral concern are combined in a remarkable book that brings the book of Genesis to life for God's people and serves as a model for the teaching and preaching of the Old Testament. His theological and pastoral insights apply the truths of this great book to the realities of life in this post-modern age. Those who read this book will be greatly blessed, greatly challenged and spiritually nourished."

—Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisvelle, Kentucky

"Jim Dixon is a man who has lived in the text of Genesis and allowed it to harrow his soul. His Expository Thoughts on Genesis will cut fresh furrows in the hearts of his readers. The attentive preacher or teacher will find a harvest of expositional inspiration."

—R. Kent Hughes, editor

Genesis is the book of beginnings. Here we read of the creation of the world, the creation of human beings, their temptation and fall, the inhabiting of the earth, the destruction of a rebellious world, the lives of the patriarchs and the great promises of God. Jim Dixon shows us that biblical history is our history, and that Christians living in the twenty-first century need to know the Bible's beginnings.

The sheer size of Genesis makes the book intimidating for many. Expository Thoughts on Genesis will remove the hesitation that many face. The message of Genesis is here presented in devotional segments - bite-size pieces - that inform the heart and instruct the mind. In these pages, Dixon beautifully mines the depths of Genesis and provides answers to a most essential question: How then shall we live?
