"The creation week: 4,000 bc: might just be the best nine-page overview of the creation week available.
"This is an overview of mankind on earth, from the original creation to the New Heavens and the New Earth...If you have never looked at an overview of God's Word, or you know someone like this, this book is a must read. If you know someone who is curious about the Bible but has never read it, then this book is a must read for them.
"It is both an easy, enjoyable read... Not to mislead anyone; this is neither a theology book nor a Bible Doctrines overview. More than half of this brief book is devoted to the book of Genesis, creation, the flood, the birth of civilization and the beginning of the Jewish nation.
"The three plus pages titled So what happened to science? and My point is this: creationism is basic to Christianity are very important points that are both brief and thorough."

Mary C. Findley added:
An engaging history book with hope
"Bergsland has such an easy-to read style, and he tackles a mammoth subject with grace and great information. Most people don't want to accept that our life on earth is intended as preparation for the future. But God made man to live with Him forever.
"Adam was made "very good", but still needed preparation for a relationship with God. After the fall that need for preparation intensified. We've been neglecting our lessons that God wants to teach us."
End the confusion!
God's people have been sold a bill of goods. If you think about it at all, evolution could not be true. If this young earth is really billions of years old, then God is a liar. You know that isn't true. This book tells the tale of God's creation lovingly, by a man who only recently came to his senses. It had been obvious when he visited the Grand Canyon that this hadn't happened over countless millennia. It had happened quickly with a massive flood of water. God made man. We didn't come from apes. The first two chapters of Genesis make excellent scientific sense when you understand how God did it and why He did it in the order it was done. It's amazing how clear it is when a believer explains how it works.

Join David on a glorious trip through the 7,000 years of creation. Yes, there is only one millennium left for this one. Then this training place is dissolved in fire and replaced with what we commonly call heaven. God calls it a new creation. Rejoice in the glory of what He has done for us!

About the author

David Bergsland


It all began with the great rebellion of the sixties. Ending up as a fine artist and heavy user of pot and acid, I needed help. I met Jesus in 1974. The Lord gave me a Godly woman for my wife in 1976. I became a graphic designer, font designer, and desktop publisher. In 1991, I began teaching printing and digital publishing. That resulted in writing dozens of books and booklets about this, using InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. In 2009, I began the transformation into an author of fiction. By 2021, I had 13 novels in four series, as I have developed my craft. There are more coming, including this one.
I’m using Christian contemporary speculative fiction to speak about the reality of how Jesus touches lives, while being strongly focused upon Biblical truth. I attempt to reveal Jesus within a realistic world sharing my experiences. The goal is to reveal Jesus as a loving Creator building people into what they are designed to be. I currently assume time is running short, and the final harvest is here.
