Fallen: A Biblical Story of Good and Evil

By Melinda Viergever Inman

Description:

Love takes action. The Creator God establishes the cosmos and shapes a man. Adam rises from the dust. Envious, the powerful angel Lucifer despises him. Oblivious to the threat, Adam is captivated by his strong, intuitive wife Eve. In the Garden of Eden, they enjoy abundant food, gorgeous vistas, and intriguing challenges, including their budding love and passion. They have it all! But Lucifer's deceptive brilliance tricks them into disobeying God. They eat the one forbidden fruit. Their innocence is shattered. Their unity with one another and with God is destroyed. Death will follow. Lucifer's jealousy threatens mankind's tenuous beginning. But God is merciful. What astonishing promise does He make? How will Adam and Eve survive - broken, shattered, and separated from God?

Book Takeaway:

God's plan of redemption through His Son is offered freely for our sins, not only the sins we have committed in the past and the present, but the ones we will commit in the future. God's mercy toward us is life changing.

Why the author wrote this book:

Based on the Biblical account in Genesis, Fallen is a love story—the story of the love between the first man and woman and the love of the Lord God for humanity. The story of Adam and Eve is a universal tale, affecting each one of us. Their actions caused the struggles we all have with sin, broke down the unity between the sexes, and predetermined the death of each one of us. Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey God changed every aspect of life for all of mankind from that moment forward and set God’s plan of redemption in motion, a plan that was in place before He even began creation. Illustrating this story in fiction form demonstrates God's love and mercy in a powerful and palpable way that transforms our understanding and increases our depth of love for Him. This is why I wrote the story, to inform and to transform the reader.
