The Prolonged Struggle of Supernatural Forces for Creation’s Loyalty as Revealed In— 

Vol. I.—Adam and Eve Through King David’s Reign — Patriarchs and Prophets

This volume gives the account of the beginning of this world, of mankind, and of the evil so prevalent today. Starting with creation week with the founding of God’s holy day as a memorial of His creative power, this volume recounts the struggle of mankind as buffeted by the forces of evil through the awesome world-wide flood, the lives of the patriarchs, the slavery of Israel in Egypt, their miraculous deliverance and establishment as God’s chosen people entrusted with His eternal commandments in the Promised Land down through the reign of king David.
