Am I My Brother's Keeper? Series

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 28, 2018

The First Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

It is true that we must trace the fall of man to Adam, and there is no way to minimize the harm he brought to the human race by his sin. But the fact remains that somebody has to have been an example of righteousness in that beginning generation, and the evidence points to Adam.
