Messages for the Morning Watch: Devotional Studies in the Biblical Book of Genesis

Charles Trumbull takes us through each and every passage of the Book of Genesis, his detailed narration shedding light upon the meaning and wisdom of the Bible verse.

Before embarking on his detailed commentary, the author briefly discusses the importance of waking up each morning and absorbing some element of Biblical truth. This 'morning watch' is what the title refers to - the Christians who begin their days with a reading, that their schedule be informed by the truth of scripture. Trumbull then considers each and every passage of Genesis, in sequence, with paragraphs of thoughtful analysis. The incisive and spiritually aware explanations allow readers a superb understanding of Genesis.

The author was best-known as editor of The Sunday School Times, a weekly publication which had a readership exceeding 100,000 Christians in 1900. An able educator and dispenser of spiritual knowledge, it was through the efforts of men like Trumbull that the everyday Christian became knowledgeable of the many lessons found in scripture.
