Foundations of Faith, Volume 1: Books of Genesis through Proverbs
by Sidney St James

Begin the Bible's grand story at the very start-and follow it to the songs and wisdom that shaped a people. Written in clear, everyday language, this novel-style retelling makes the Old Testament feel close, vivid, and unforgettable for high-school readers and adults alike.

What's inside

• Genesis: creation, calling, and covenant-Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, and Joseph's rise in Egypt.
• Exodus-Deuteronomy: Moses, the plagues, the Red Sea, Sinai's law, wilderness tests, and a promise that survives failure and fear.
• Joshua-Judges-Ruth: conquest, courage, and costly choices-plus a tender story of loyalty that changes Israel's future.
• Samuel-Kings-Chronicles: Saul's turmoil, David's heart and battles, Solomon's temple, and a kingdom learning (and forgetting) to trust God.
• Ezra-Nehemiah-Esther: exile, return, rebuilding-and one queen's brave stand.
• Job-Psalms-Proverbs: honest suffering, worship that sings, and practical wisdom for work, family, friendship, and faith.

Why readers love it

• Page-turning scenes grounded in Scripture
• Context made simple-people, places, and timelines you can follow
