Genesis 25
If you have your Bibles with you now this evening, if you will be finding a place at Genesis, Chapter 25, and as we pick up in our series of studies through this beginning book in your Bible, we're studying verses 19-34.

The children of a prominent family chose to honor the patriarch of their family with a book of their family's history. The biographer they hired was warned, though, of one potential problem.
