description: For the earth's first couple obedience trumps rebellion then leads to redemption. But what of their children? Seduced by evil Cain kills Abel then flees with his sister to the land of Nod. Bereaved of all their children in one day Adam and Eve are heartbroken but not until they both see 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 on earth Abels 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 mothers 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 Lords blessing to begin again. Can they walk in obedience for seventy long years? And Cains offering is finally accepted but by whom? Three parallel storylines offer a new perspective to an age-old story. #1) Adam and Eve in Adam's Valley #2) Cain and Sheriah on their journey east of Eden to Nod and #3) Abel in Paradise with visiting angels including a kindly ancient cherub named Namrel. At the end of the story a section called Search the Scriptures help readers understand where where the author got her ideas for the story and encourage then to do their own searches as well.
