• presents the rhetorical structures and other literary features of each narrative
• discloses the message for Israel (theme) as well as the author's likely purpose (goal)
• explores various ways of preaching Christ from each narrative
• offers sermon exposition and commentary in oral style
• suggests relevant sermon forms, introductions, and applications
  Including helpful appendixes -- "Ten Steps from Text to Sermon," "An Expository Sermon Model," and three of the author's own Genesis sermons -- this volume will be an invaluable resource for preachers and Bible teachers.
