The first books of the Bibles include stories from oral tradition handed from generation to generation.
The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew and Christian Bible. Torah means to teach. But what does the Torah teach? How does the Torah teach? Author Vincent Krivda discusses the development of the messages in the book of Genesis in his new book.
The reader is invited to experience the vivid world of antiquity and for the first time, hear The Greatest Story Never Told.

The author hopes to reveal the lessons that might have been told.
