The Book
Everything That Had the Breath of the Spirit of Life is a ~71,000-word analysis blending Hebrew exegesis, cosmology, archaeology, paleontology, and philosophy across Genesis chapters 1–9.
It is the vastly expanded definitive edition of an earlier study, grounded in the original Hebrew and informed by the whole of Scripture.
