Have you ever wondered...  How can we reconcile science with Genesis' account of Creation?  What really happened in the Garden of Eden?  If Abraham was so important in changing the way people relate to God, did other ancient people besides the Jews write about him?  What relevance do the stories in Genesis have for me?  The stories from Genesis are familiar to many of us from childhood, yet they seem dated or irrelevant to us in the 21st century. But what if we put aside our childhood perceptions and look at these stories with a more sophisticated eye? Illuminating the stories of Genesis using traditional Jewish commentaries, history, science, and psychology, Genesis: The Untold Story finds in these stories a logical and mature view of a loving God and His plan for us. Tracing the Biblical narrative through the Book of Genesis, we find morals and spiritual lessons in events as large as Creation and as seemingly insignificant as an argument between two people. Genesis: The Untold Story revisits passages we once dismissed as simplistic or irrelevant and shows us how they teach vital lessons about God and how best to connect to Him and to those around us. Its unique melding of factual knowledge with Biblical events leaves us with indispensable insights into our purpose in life and how we can get the most out of it.

Genesis: The Untold Story

"The baal teshuva process involves tremendous growth and change, as well as constant obstacles. Baalei teshuva often wish there was a guidebook that would support them along their way as they grow and make decisions that may alienate them from their families, friends, and the way of life that they once had. "The Baal Teshuva Survival Guide by Dr. Lisa Aiken is this guidebook. Aiken is a world-renowned author and psychologist, and a baalat teshuva herself. She addresses all of the thorny issues that baalei teshuva face, giving psychological insights, compassions and sound, practical advice. Every baal teshuva will see themselves in some of the anecdotes that she presents. She helps baalei teshuva understand how their changes, and the ways that they present them to others, impact others and gives examples of how baalei teshuva can prevent many interpersonal frictions by taking others' emotions into account. Aiken takes baalei teshuva through the myriad challenges they face, such as choosing a career (or not); accepting the loss of a career that conflicts with Judaism; deciding if, or for how long to study in a yeshiva; dealing with parents who can't accept that their child has become observant; choosing an appropriate expression of religious observance, along with a rabbi, synagogue, and community; and relating to a spouse and/or children who are not observant. "This important book will ease the path for Jews who are becoming observant, revolutionize how baalei teshuva integrate their hearts and souls into becoming observant, and improve how those who bring them close to Judaism guide them in their journeys." -Quoted From Jewish Life Magazine
