Family members need to know why they are sinners and realize their need to trust Christ for salvation .
Eve was made from Adam ’ s side . We only have two sexes of humans because God made people that way , and “ a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife , and they shall become one flesh ” ( Genesis 2:24 ).

As well as dealing with all the theological teachings of Genesis in the book , I wanted to insert some scientific content , yet presented in a way that families would understand the concepts . I especially encourage fathers , as the spiritual heads of their homes , to read through “ Creation to
