In the Beginning


Book Description

This book is dedicated to the memory of our late granddaughter Shaney Tillman who left behind the adorable ten-month old, His Royal Majesty, Shane Foster. This charming little warrior was two years and ten-months at the time of this writing; and is currently busy, waging war on the doors of our kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, and refrigerator. We wish him well in his ongoing struggles in life. This documentary, spanning from Creation to Jacob's sojourn in Egypt, is purely the author's imagination. While maintaining strict integrity of the Scriptures, he has transformed the biblical narrative into our modern day language. His aim is twofold. First, to give non-church goers a better perspective of biblical history as opposed to Hollywood's fantasy. Second, to demystify this transformative book, and make it more user friendly. After all, it has survived the test of time to bring us a fresh picture of the genesis of the Creation; the interastion of God's people with friends, and enemies alike; the blunders and repentance of biblical heroes; and God's passionate love for humanity. The narrative outside the biblical texts, and between actors and other involved are purely the author's perception of what transpired among the actors of the biblical narrative. This work should not replace the Bible as the authority of truth. Bear in mind, the Bible is the original word of God, and anything written hereafter is much inferior to it. The biblical texts utilized in this work were taken from the: NKJV, KJV, NIV, ESV, LSV, GW and other versions of the Bible.
