Historical
Once expelled from the Garden, Eve and Adam have to find
their way past recriminations and bitterness to construct a
new life together in a harsh land. But the challenges are
many for the world’s first family. Among their children are
Cain and Abel, and soon the adults must discover how to be
parents to one son who is everything they could hope for
and another who is sullen, difficult, and rife with
insecurities and jealousies. In the background, always, is
the incomprehensibility of God’s motives as He watches over
their faltering attempts to build a life. In Fallen, David
Maine has drawn a convincing, wryly observant, and
enthralling portrait of a family---one driven (and riven)
by passions, jealousies, irrationality, and love. The
result is an intimate, in-depth story of brothers, a
husband, and a wife---people whose struggles are both
completely familiar and yet utterly original.
