Gen 1
by Richard Pontefract
The entire Bible condensed into a 1-4 hour read. 30+ years of study distilled for modern readers who want to understand the complete story.
About the Author
After 30 plus years of dwelling and debating on it all, this is my attempt to logically explain what and why I believe regarding Christianity having actually read the entire story, front to back, 3 times.
Me in a nutshell: 64, born into a Christian family, mother very devout, but mentally distraught and emotionally unstable to the point of being extremely offensive to any and all she might meet.
Having been dragged to many a church of various denominations during my youth, the turmoil within the family left me with disdain for my mother and Christianity.
Through decades of reflection and study, I've distilled my understanding into a work that makes the Bible accessible to those who struggle to find time to read it in its entirety.
