For years, I've had a passion for God's Word that began when I was just a child. While others my age played outside, I would take our family Bible and go under the house, lying on a sack, getting lost in the stories of David and Jonathan, King Saul and the prophets. It was almost like watching a movie. I didn't know it then, but God was revealing something to me that would later benefit far more people than just myself.

What started as a boy reading under the house became a lifelong discovery: the Bible isn't just a book to study-it's a relationship to enter into. It's God's conversation with humanity, revealing not just information but transformation.

This book shares what I've learned through years of prayerful study and ministry. Some insights come from established biblical scholarship; others are fresh perspectives the Holy Spirit has illuminated during my time in God's Word. My prayer is that this manual helps you see Scripture not as an intimidating ancient text, but as the living voice of a God who loves you and wants you to know Him.

Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for decades, I believe Genesis 1-3 holds keys that unlock the rest of Scripture. Once you learn to read these three chapters well, you'll read the entire Bible with new eyes.
