Description
The first time she opens her eyes, Eve gazes on One whose beauty nearly blinds her, whose breath is in her lungs. Her Creator takes her hand and gives her to one like her and yet different. Together, she and Adam experience pure joy as they explore Eden. But her favorite moments are when the Creator comes to walk with them, day after day.
Until everything changes. With one act of disobedience, Eve finds that her world is no longer a friendly place. With remorse in her heart, she must face the unknown future--the births, the deaths, the sacrifices, the loss of the one home she has ever known. Perhaps worst of all is the loss of trust, not only with her Creator but with the man who shares her life. How will they ever survive out of Eden?
Bestselling biblical fiction author Jill Eileen Smith imagines the life of the first woman to ever live, unspooling a story of love, loss, and the promise of redemption.
Reviews
Wonderful Biblical fiction
4By 61655This is a lovely biblical fiction giving us a possible glimpse into the life of Adam and Eve both in the Garden of Eden and then out in the world. If we read the story of creation in the Bible, we also read how, through the enticement of Lucifer, both Adam and Eve died to an innocence they could not define, nor would they ever experience it again. Sin always follows when we think what we want to do is best and leave God out of our plans. Banned from the Garden, there was so much to learn. We know that God will not abandon us and I can only believe He did not abandon them either. Unfortunately as we also know, that while sin had entered the world without any fanfare, its insidious work will continue until the Redeemer comes. What a joy and privilege it must have been to walk and talk with God, like we spend time with a friend. An early copy of this book was received through Baker Publishing Group, Revell and NetGalley. These thoughts are my own and were in no way solicited.
