Biblical Genres

The purpose of GENESIS: The Novel is to highlight God’s history with human beings. My target audience is the curious - agnostics and believers alike. I wrote the book to present the biblical stories of the book of Genesis in the form of a novel. Telling a story with full disclosure of the doubts, fears, and weaknesses of a biblical character is my intention. I believe that’s how the listener can identify with each one of them and be inspired.

Based on the holy bible and representing a new and innovative genre of bible literature, this scripturally-based yet fictionally-portrayed book is about 26 people, written from the perspective of those who were directly or indirectly involved with Jesus the Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were spectators who participated in the miraculous events associated with Jesus' life. Their stories, completed in the first century, are eyewitness accounts of Jesus interacting with, ministering to, and helping people.

They travelled to places which had never heard the gospel and brought Jews and Gentiles to Jesus.

Somehow the message of Jesus as a reconciler of all people has been bungled by the American church. Labels like racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-intellectual, and partisan are how the church has come to be portrayed in today’s media.

This book is the first in a series of spiritual fiction novels that attempt to tell the story of Jesus and the important people that interact with his daily life. It covers the battles and obstacles the devil puts in the path of the people around Jesus in the never-ending war of good versus evil - the extent that Satan will go to in an attempt to stop God’s mission to have Jesus save all of mankind. It is spiritual fiction and contains demon possessions and attempts on Jesus’ life.
