For the rest of us, the truth is that finding a match can be a long, difficult, painful, and discouraging road.

In The Genesis of the Rib, author Nadine Batie takes us all the way back to the beginning to examine the world’s first couple, Adam and Eve, in search of God’s guidance for those of us who need the help. Drawing from Scripture as well as the author’s own experiences with disastrous dates, toxic relationships, and more, this book seeks to provide readers with the tools to build and keep the lasting, fulfilling, holy relationships that we’ve hoped for all along.
The author has had many obstacles to overcome to write this book. She always struggles with reading because she had dyslexia and was an audible learner. She never enjoyed reading or writing too much.
