Welcome

This book is the genealogical report of God's "chosen family.” It is an easy reference for all. The Old Testament takes on a new light as the “characters” take their place on the stage.

"Perhaps, like me, you found the Old Testament hard to read. I know that I was lost trying to remember who beget whom. My solution was to enter the basic information into my computer generations program. As I did this, my study became more enjoyable and easier to understand. I was, at that point, captivated and determined to continue until I compiled the Old Testament family tree. I love Bible study and I love puzzles. This project combined the two and took more than six winters to complete. It was a labor of love and with the help of God I published a unique Bible study guide, The Cast of Characters as recorded in the Old Testament”.

More than thirteen hundred individuals and twelve hundred seventy families make up this extensive family tree. Each tree entry notes the Old Testament book, chapter and verse where that person is first mentioned. Numerous informational notations are included throughout the study as well. Also, there is space to record personal notes and thoughts. The summary of the kings, a handy index, and several reference charts add to the value of this guidebook.

"The Cast of Characters as recorded in the Old Testament" is intended to be used as an Old Testament study aid.
