Genesis 2: This is My Father's World (Chapters 26-50)

Three generations and one amazing story: Isaac, the quiet man who made history; Jacob, who learned that wrestling with God was futile; and Joseph, who went from the pit to the palace.

Genesis 2: This Is My Father's World is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams covering Genesis 26–50.

How This Study Helps

Family dysfunction, deception, jealousy, and betrayal fill these chapters, and they fill many homes today. So does the hope of reconciliation.

This study follows the twins and their trouble, Jacob's deception and its consequences, his flight and return, the family in flames, Joseph's rise from prisoner to prime minister, the tense family reunion, "I am Joseph," and Jacob's final farewell. It shows how God works through flawed families and how integrity and forgiveness win out.
