Eve & Adam Discovering the Beautiful Balance by Melinda Wheelwright Brown
Details
As the first who chose to cross the threshold into mortality, Eve is truly the personification to life. To understand her mission, we must first recognize Eve's proper, elevated place - a noble position beside Adam, with a beautiful, balanced interdependence between them. Their example of enthusiastically embracing mortality with all its accompanying challenges provides meaning, encouragement, and direction for each of us along our complex and sometimes thorny paths home.
"For millennia," writes author Melinda Brown, "the world has dismissed the story of Adam and Eve as simply a choice between good and evil, with the obvious conclusion that Eve chose evil. But on much closer inspection, we can discover, and lead others to discover, that the choice was in fact between certainty an uncertainty, security and risk, fear and faith. Eve's most remarkable choice had everything to do with stagnation versus progress. Hers was a decision to trust God."
With its in-depth examination of the scriptural account, Eve and Adam provides an opportunity for deep pondering and reflection on our own mortal experiences and how they draw us, step by step, toward exaltation.
