Genesis: Eden, Flood, and Promise: 1

These are not small stories, and older children do not need them made small. Genesis: Eden, Flood, and Promise is an illustrated literary retelling of Genesis 1:1-9:17 for families with older children, teens, and adults to read together. Across twenty short chapters and thirty full-page paintings, the story moves from first light to the rainbow: creation and Eden, temptation and exile, Cain and Abel, Noah's ark, the Flood, and the promise made after judgment. Biblical chapter references keep the source in view while the art moves from luminous color into shadow and back toward light. The prose is spare, lyrical, and shaped for the living voice-made for shared reading, quiet reading, and conversation afterward. Book I of The Bible in Shadow and Light. A literary retelling-not a Bible translation, study Bible, devotional, or verse-complete edition. It covers Genesis 1:1-9:17, not the whole biblical book of Genesis.
