The Book of Genesis: Firstfruits (The Passion Translation) (Paperback) – A Heartfelt Translation of the Book of Genesis and the Origin of All Things, ... Family, Birthdays, Holidays, and More. Paperback – December 3, 2019

I have the Passion Translation New Testament and like it so thought I would try this. I hadn't read Genesis in quite some time and found this translation fresh and engaging, with informative footnotes. Where there are differences in Hebrew and Aramaic translations it gives you both, along with cultural explanations that enrich your understanding. Well done.

Passion translation is an appealing read of scriptures but not in the traditional way. I liked that a lot. You can also find individual books of the Bible and focused just one, in the case “Genesis”, for example. It is the style of writing as if personally singular speaking to the reader, drawing you in. You will learn and glean an understanding because how it is written in such a flowing style, in the verses that you will always reread and add it to your daily devotion studies. Recommend adding this to your daily Bible study

I absolutely love The Passion Translation! To be able to read the writings in Genesis and also the detailed notations at the bottom of each page has been tremendously helpful and insightful. I will re-read it in the future. Since then I’ve ordered and have started reading the New Testament second edition with Psalms, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon. I’m looking forward to reading the whole bible in The Passion Translation!

I already had the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs. Was excited to see Genesis! Can't wait for the full bible! I love the language choices used AND all of the footnotes that explain the original language and why he chose the English wording that he did in this translation. Well done and want to KEEP READING!!

So excited to have finally gotten this! I have the one for Isaiah and I love this translation. Really helps see the love of God. Easy to understand and the commentary for Hebrew translation- spot on

Excelente traducción, está en inglés, pero yo prefiero escribir en español porque es el idioma que hablo, realmente excelente... Amo la Passion Translation, es la versión que escogí para regalarle a nieto por su graduación, y siempre que puedo la recomiendo a todos mis amigos!Bendiciones!Ojalá y pronto esté lista la traduccion de toda la Biblia

This is an easy to understand translation and the many notes are very useful and thought provoking. Great for a new Christian or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the bible.

This brings Genesis to light in a fresh way with more insight with the notes after each chapter , very rich.

Such a fresh and invigorating read of Genesis. The Passion Translation brought to life this first book of the Holy Bible in a way that I have never experienced before. So blessed. Thank you, Brian Simmons, for your work!
