In the Beginning, God : Creation, Culture,

With the grace and insight for which she is known, Marva Dawn shows how the opening pages of the book of Genesis rivet our attention on God, calling us to worship and to praise. Yet here Dawn helps us see anew the grace He offers to overcome our rebellious and wandering hearts.
