Expository thoughts on Genesis
James Dixon
Hardback
with dust jacket 640 pp
Nothing is more essential for us in days of doubt and confusion than a clear understanding of the Word of God. There can be no such understanding without a good grasp of Genesis, the book of beginnings. The sheer size of the book makes it intimidating for many. The value of Jim Dixon’s book is that it presents the message of Genesis in daily devotions — bite-size pieces, if you will — that inform the mind, warm the heart, give us practical insights for living and point us to the Lord Jesus Christ.
‘Jim Dixon is a man who has lived in the text of Genesis and allowed it
to harrow his soul. His “Expository Thoughts on Genesis” will cut fresh
furrows in the hearts of his readers. The attentive preacher or teacher
will find a harvest of expositional inspiration.’
— R. Kent Hughes, Pastor College Church, Wheaton, IL, USA
