Is there anything about tomorrow worth reaching for? Reaching Forward contains 366 daily meditations that are designed to pull you out of the past. These readings will give you a higher vision of tomorrow, while reminding you of today’s simple duties. You will see a better connection between today and tomorrow. Whoever you are, you’ve made mistakes. Your past is marred and broken. But you also have a future — and that future depends upon the choices you are making right now. This book goes beyond spiritual theory into the practical realm of day-to-day decisions. As it probes the issues of hope, self-discipline, and courage, Reaching Forward will:
Challenge you to consider the idea of eternity more carefully
Help you to sharpen your spiritual goals
Encourage you to be more forward-looking
Show you how to use the present to build a better future
Motivate you to live your life more decisively
Don’t settle for what you were yesterday. Reaching Forward is a book about stretching ourselves and pressing ahead. Are you ready to reach for the better things? What about the best things? This daily devotional is a follow-up to Diligently Seeking God, the immensely popular book also written by Gary Henry.

Coffman herein offers the Bible student the end-fruits of a long and faithful lifetime of diligent study and research of the sacred writings. The sheer scope and extent of this author’s reading is amazing. His refutations of the popular destructive criticisms is docmented and reinforced with a confidence sadly lacking in much of today’s writing. His refusal to accept such things as the Documentary thesis for the origin of the Pentateuch, for example, will thrill the conservative student and carry the conviction that our author knows his ground and that he is not afraid to state it.
Woman from the side of man
“Sons of god” taking “daughters of men”
A massive disaster and an animal rescue boat of biblical proportions
Abraham, Sarah, Hagar and the ongoing saga of a dysfunctional family
These are just a few of the episodes that Genesis conjures up. But we miss the point if we focus on what seems strange to us. And we distort the message if we demand that this book answer questions that are strange to it. To read Genesis intelligently, we must consider the questions, the literature and the times in which Genesis was written.
In How to Read Genesis Tremper Longman III provides a welcome guide to reading and studying, understanding and savoring this panorama of beginnings–of both the world and of Israel. And importantly for Christian readers, we gain insight into how Genesis points to Christ and can be read in light of the gospel.
Abraham — called out of Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan, there to found a great nation, a blessing to all peoples.
Isaac — his son, taken to be sacrificed by his father, until God provided a substitue.
Jacob — Isaac’s son, the schemer who cheated his older brother of his birthright but whose thigh (and heart) was broken as he wrestled all night with God’s messenger.
Joseph — the dreamer sold into Egypt by his brothers, who meant it for evil while God meant it for good.
These are the patriarchs whose stories are told in Genesis 12-50. Why have these accounts been preserved? What importance do they have in the development of Israel’s understanding of God? What message from them does God have for us today?
Joyce Baldwin skillfully weaves her answers to these questions, bringing the history of an ancient people to bear on our lives.
Genesis shows us how and why we are. It uncovers the origins of evil. It illuminates the meaning of freedom. It expresses the harmony of creation. And it offers hope for the renewal of our natural world and for the healing of our broken relationships.
“Genesis 1-11 is really an overture to the rest of the Bible.” So writes David Atkinson in his introduction to this thoughtful and spiritual guide to the opening chapters of Genesis. Writing as a scientist and as a pastor, Atkinson avoides technicalities and speculation and provides a skillful guide to the text’s theological significance. While many commentaries on these chapters become tangled in problems of dating, authorship and historicity, this tour of the opening chapters of Genesis focuses on the issues that really matter. Atkinson’s work will be a delight to all–seasoned expositors and novice readers alike.
This landmark commentary marshals the vast experience and brilliant insights of one of today’s most revered Old Testament scholars. To those familiar with the work of Bruce K. Waltke, the significance and value of Genesis will be instantly apparent. Others who are unfamiliar with Waltke have only to read the first few chapters to understand why he has earned the reputation of a scholar’s scholar, and why this masterful volume stands like a monolith among Old Testament commentaries.
Exploring the first book of the Bible as “theological literature,” Waltke illuminates its meanings and methods for the pastor, scholar, teacher, student, and Bible-lover. Genesis strikes an unusual balance by emphasizing the theology of the Scripture text while also paying particular attention to the flow and development of the plot and literary techniques–inclusion, irony, chiasm, and concentric patterning–that shape the message of the “book of beginnings”.
Genesis Models the way to read and interpret the narratives of the book of Genesis Provides helpful exegetical notes that address key issues and debates surrounding the text Includes theological reflections on how the message addresses our contemporary theological and social issues, such as ecology, homosexuality, temperance, evil, prayer, and obedience Addresses critical interpretive issues, such as authenticity, date, and authorship
For all the author’s formidable intellect and meticulous research, Genesis is amazingly accessible. This is no mere study tool. Lucidly and eloquently written, it is a work of the heart that helps us not only to understand deeply God’s Word in its context, but also to consider how it applies to us today.
In the beginning of Genesis, enmity is guaranteed between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. That enmity begins immediately as Cain kills Abel, and continues through Genesis—and through the Bible—until it culminates in the children of the devil murdering the Seed of the woman. The book of Genesis begins that narrative, documenting the development of God’s covenant relationship with man through the growth of the seed. The Growth of the Seed is a study of Genesis that emphasizes these themes.
