A Recent Review of the Book

Do NOT buy this book!

The author states in his intro that he's not an expert on anything he's writing about and is really just sharing his personal ramblings. I wasn't expecting much after that. But what he should've said is that he was a crazy heretic. One chapter in and he's actually talking about Earth as the mother goddess who helped God the Father give birth to Adam. Mind you, this guy claims to bring no preconceptions to his interpretation, only that which can be gleaned from the text. How he then arrives at his crackpot conclusions is beyond me, but I wish I had saved my money. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would.

Author's Response:

​

Genesis 1:1 begins by stating, "in the beginning created gods".  The unstated implication is that Yahweh was the Creator "in the beginning" and Yahweh "created gods".  This was before anything else was created.  The "gods" were the spiritual helpers that did the work of Yahweh.  When we later read of "heavens and earth," this becomes metaphor for the "gods" and the material being joined together.  This means there is a spiritual presence within all matter that has life.  As human beings, we have a soul in our flesh - we are made of heaven and earth.  This is the concept behind my reference to Mother Earth and Yahweh, with the two acting metaphorically as mother and Father of Adam.  The material world gave forth the dust and clay that Yahweh breathed the soul of Adam into.  Mother Earth was simply one of the "gods" Yahweh created in the beginning, so souls could have form - "in our image."

​

As to my "not being an expert," that speaks of my prior history that qualified me to write books and attempt to sell them.  Add to that my writing about Biblical Scripture, I had no special education that was beyond having regularly attended Sunday school at church.  All I knew about Cain and Abel (and Adam and Eve) was what I had been told "by the experts."  Because I have been moved by the Spirit of Yahweh to serve Him by writing the revelations He leads me to see, I am driven to write without any expertise that promotes "Look at me!  I am special!"  Without Yahweh and the soul of His Son guiding my writings, I have no reason to do what I do.

​

Finally, the title of the book you purchased is "The Cain & Abel Story."  The greatest revelation of importance in that book was the story of Cain, after he had been marked by Yahweh and banished from Eden.  The story is told in the names listed; and nobody preaches about that.  Still, recently I published an article entitled The Duality of Cain and Abel, which is a new insight shown me by the divine.  It takes away nothing I was led to write in 2014.  It adds truth upon truth, for a greater depth of Scriptural perspective.

​

Thank you for buying my book and offering an opinion that helps others stay away from the truth, as written by an amateur author.  The children's picture book is much more eye-catching and has a higher Amazon rating.  It has everything you always were taught by experts to believe, in colorful images!
