Seeds of Destiny - A Devotional Study of Genesis Warren Henderson 3rd edition

Genesis, more than any other book of the Bible, provides an overview of God's immense purpose for humanity. This fountainhead of Holy Scripture stretches from the dawn of time, past the birth pangs of the world, the fall of man, and beyond to the restoration of mankind to God. God's plan of redemption is displayed through dazzling allegory in Genesis. The climax of Genesis is the exaltation of the Son of God, and redeemed souls receive eternal bliss and communion with Him. Although Genesis reveals much concerning human affairs, most of this information is in "seed form." The word "seed" is a key word in Genesis. It occurs fifty-six times - over twice as many references as any other book in the Bible. The main teachings of the Bible derive their heritage and features from Genesis seeds. Genesis is full of "initial seeds" which give evidence to realities not yet complete. As God is sovereign over creation there is nothing that can thwart His plans for mankind. Hence the seeds of Genesis are nothing less than "seeds of destiny." Genesis is a book of beginnings - the "seed plot of the Bible." -- Warren Henderson
