Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like Christ. This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important ways: You'll gain a firm understanding of the book - its historical context, purpose, structure and meaning; You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through; and You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own - so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.

The first book of God's revelation to man is a book of genesis - beginnings. God creates the heavens. The earth. Man and Woman. But rebellion breaks out, and God begins the task of mending His relationship with mankind. The events that unfold in this extra ordinary book give form to the entire Bible, right to the end of Revelation and God's plan for a new beginning.
