Download or read book East of Eden written by John Steinbeck and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-02-05 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece of Biblical scope, and the magnum opus of one of America’s most enduring authors, in a commemorative hardcover edition In his journal, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck called East of Eden "the first book," and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. Set in the rich farmland of California's Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons—whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. The masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years, East of Eden is a work in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love's absence. Adapted for the 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan introducing James Dean, and read by thousands as the book that brought Oprah’s Book Club back, East of Eden has remained vitally present in American culture for over half a century.

Download or read book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.
Download or read book Eden to Evil written by Gerry Burney and published by World Ahead Press. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been five hundred years since Martin Luther challenged the conventional thought concerning the Bible, our sinful nature, and our need for grace and a Savior. It is time to challenge the church again, and correctly understand Original Sin and Predestination. Do you remember being in your mother's womb? Try backing up even further. Do you remember being with God at the beginning of the creation-in Eden? Many believe we will live beyond this life but cannot conceive of our existence prior to being born. In Eden to Evil Burney explains how the Bible tells us God knew us before the foundation of the earth. We disobeyed God and fell. Now we are born into this existence to be reconciled and restored back into a relationship with God. Understanding the two creations (Eden and the 7-Day) is foundational to understanding why we are separated from God at conception and face death today.
Download or read book Eden to Evil written by Gerry Burney and published by Illumify Media Group. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the original edition of Eden to Evil, Gerry Burney explains the difference between the two biblical creation accounts, "Eden" creation and the "7-day" creation. They diverge in so many ways that many believe both cannot be true. Did God make a mistake-and how do we fit into the two accounts? But if the two accounts were not a mistake, then God must have given us a riddle that only those who search for truth will uncover. Burney deciphers the riddle to show how the answer helps us understand the Bible and how we view ourselves. Are we sinner or saints? In his new updated edition, Burney builds on the original, clarifying why a third of the angels rejected God's authority, thus exposing how early civilizations so easily accepted Satan the serpent. Now we can finally understand why we experience suffering and tragedy in God's "very good" creation and why we need a Savior.

Book excerpt: Eve has eaten from the Tree of Knowledge. As the serpent Tiamat promised, her eyes have become open to the good and evil in all things, including the human heart. Soon after, a flood casts her and Adam out of Eden, the curses God spoke of fall upon them, and she gives birth to two sons, into a world from which they must suffer and die. But only when her oldest son Cain kills his brother Abel, does she feel the true weight and regret of what she has done. Now, in her greatest despair, Tiamat has returned. Under the command of his mysterious master, he tells her that the waters have receded and Eden is alive again. With the promise of bringing her dead son back to life, he tells her of the Tree of Life and how it has the power to vanquish all suffering, if she is willing to betray God once more. She is forced to choose between Tiamat, who offers what she desires most, and God, who once cast her out of Eden. But how can she trust a serpent who is willing to betray his own Creator? And how can she trust a Creator whose truth is kept hidden from the world?

Download or read book The Genesis of Good and Evil written by Mark S. Smith and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Garden of Eden story has been a cornerstone for the Christian doctrine of the Fall and original sin. In recent years, many scholars have disputed this understanding of Genesis 3 because it has no words for sin, transgression, disobedience, or punishment. Instead, it is about how the human condition came about. Yet the picture is not so simple. The Genesis of Good and Evil examines how the idea of the Fall developed in Jewish tradition on the eve of Christianity. In the end, the Garden of Eden is a rich study of humans in relation to God that leaves open many questions. One such question is, Does Genesis 3, 4, and 6, taken together, support the Christian doctrine of original sin? Smiths well-informed, close reading of these chapters concludes that it does. In this book, he addresses the many mysterious matters of the Garden story and invites readers to explore questions of their own.
