What Was God Doing Before Creation? by Michael Pearl

This book tackles some of the most-asked questions with the authority of scripture. Each chapter goes into detail on topics that you never imagined could be true—-from before matter existed, to the origin of angels, the fall of man, and the continuing purpose for all of creation.

Although short, this book contains enough information to fuel countless hours of in-depth personal study. The details are helpful to grow your biblical knowledge…but the most valuable aspect of this book is that every page reveals the undeniable wisdom of an all-powerful Creator.

From page one, the author will invite you to join him in his fascination with God’s plan for creation. He starts by addressing the fallacies of evolution…and then proceeds to take you on a journey through time to answer common questions about our origin and purpose.

Here are just a few of the many topics that will be explained in this book:

• The Trinity
• Day-by-day creation
• The purpose of angels
• Why God made us with the ability to sin
• God’s reason for making humans
• The true meaning of election and predestination
• God’s plan for mankind in eternity

Each chapter covers topics that are the subject of many conversations in both the theological and secular circles. It is perfect for pastors, Bible study leaders, in-depth word studies, or anyone who would enjoy an immersive dive into scripture on subjects you won’t hear about at church.
