Publisher's Synopsis
For earth's first couple, obedience trumps rebellion then leads to redemption. But what of their children? Seduced by evil, Cain kills Abel then flees east with his sister to the land of Nod. Bereaved of all their children in one day, Adam and Eve are heartbroken and forced to start over. Not until God allows both a vision of Abel in Paradise with their childhood pets Lion and Lamb does Eve find the strength to wait upon the Lord for His blessing. Though dead, Abel's soul lives on in Paradise, resting, learning from the old Cherub who God sent to teach the murdered son of Adam. He listens to the war songs the legions of angels sing that battle for his brother and sister and even his mother's soul. But best of all, the angel elder tells him stories of Heaven and how one day, man and God will be reconciled. Again the first couple is tested, and must wait upon the Lord's blessing to begin again. Can they walk in obedience for seventy long years? And Cain's offering is finally accepted, but by whom?
