Publisher's Synopsis
"Speaking as an adult woman of the first generation after women's liberation began in the United States, I'm of the opinion that, while the movement started with admirable goals, the focus has shifted so greatly that it's ended up hurting the women they set out to help. And all because Eve was jealous." "You're referring to the Biblical Eve." "Yes, the first woman." "Please elaborate on that. Who was Eve jealous of, and how could she still be affecting women today, if, indeed, she was a real person?" The interviewer looked skeptical but willing to humor her. She continued. "Shortly after the fall of man, God lists the curses each one of them- Adam and Eve- has brought onto themselves and subsequent generations because of their actions. In Genesis 3:16, while He's listing hers, He says that her desire will be for her husband, and that he will rule over her. There has been a lot of speculation over what exactly that verse means. Another translation says that she will want to control her husband, but he will dominate her. I'm no scholar, but the second translation makes more sense to me, especially considering my observations in the real world, particularly what I've witnessed in the U.S. over the past few decades. I believe Eve was jealous of Adam; she wanted to be in charge rather than letting him take the lead, which is the godly order. The reversal of the godly order, when Eve took control and ate the forbidden fruit, lead to the downfall of the entire species, and, roughly six thousand years later, here we are, still not having learned our lesson." Esme Kole had written a book outlining her beliefs and was receiving quite a strong reaction. Half way around the globe and in a completely different world, Gabe Miller was one of her biggest critics. "She's wrong," he thought to himself. "She's wrong and she's delusional. She's trying to take back every liberty women have been working towards for the last century. Somebody's got to straighten her out before she does too much damage." Each struggling to find and apply truth in the modern day while fighting their own personal demons, Gabe and Esme's worlds collide in a battle over Humanism vs. Christianity, worldly vs. godly, as a son of Adam and a daughter of Eve.
