Genesis: ...And One Created the Other in His Own Image - Paperback

by Shawn Omrani (Author)

In Genesis ...And One Created the Other in His Own Image, the author tries to show the conscious and unconscious psychological meaning of each story and their importance to the human mind. The stories are set one after another in brilliant sequence, showing the psychosocial growth of a child and then the challenges of an adult. This is why this book has survived for thousands of years when others have faded in time. The reader will probably look at these stories from a different angle by the end of this book.

The Bible is a book of secrets. Only a true scholar holds the key to unlock its deepest wisdom. Dr. Omrani is such a scholar. With the insight gained over a lifetime dedicated to studying the human condition, he reveals the astonishing human drama portrayed in the stories of Genesis. No story is simple. In Dr. Omrani's hands, each story is a deep meditation on the conflicts endemic to family life, on the dilemmas of conscience, on the struggles of the heart. In opening this wonderous book, we open a guide to our lives, our dreams, and our hopes. It is a book to be treasured.
