Where do we come from? Are we important? Is there meaning to our existence? Genesis is an ancient book , but it is written for modern times and it contains the answers that mankind asks in every age. As the first book of the Bible, Genesis is the foundation of the Torah, the first 5 books of the Old Testament. In Genesis we have the words of God himself giving us the answers we seek.
