God Is Out to Get Us: From the Very Beginning

From the dust of the earth, God masterfully knits together the sinews of flesh and bone. He leans in close and breathes life into their nostrils. Sketching His very essence into the tapestry of humanity, He tenderly molds these beings into unique individuals who speak His language, wear His skin, and share His intricacies. This likeness forms an intimacy no other creature shares with God.

Weaving together cinematic storytelling with engaging insights, God Is Out to Get Us challenges the false worldview that the God of the Old Testament is wrathful, strange, and unfair. Immersing ourselves in the scandalous and riveting lives of the ancient men and women who experienced this God firsthand, we will instead realize the great depth of His love, passion, and mercy toward us.

If you’ve never read the opening chapters of Genesis—or if you’ve grown up hearing about Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah—discover these stories anew and encounter the wild and relentless pursuit of the God who has been out to get you—from the very beginning.

Includes reflection questions at the end of every chapter.
