Envy is not a good character. Envy brings a lot of negative thoughts. We must have a genuine love for others. Sacrifice is important. We must make sacrifices. There is a blessing that comes after we give out a thing. It may not come immediately. This book teaches readers the importance of making sacrifices.

Killing Abel by M. Tieman is a book about the importance of making a pleasing sacrifice. Cain and Abel are brothers. Cain was a jealous brother. This book taught me why we must not envy people. Envy is bad. It leads to negative actions. The book also taught me the importance of giving. Abel gave a perfect sacrifice. There are other stories in the book that teach readers a lot of lessons. Noah helped God to build an ark that saved the world from destruction.

I like some aspects of the book. The book has different stories. There are four stories in the book. I love it because the author did not focus the piece on a story. The author did a fantastic job. I love how the author used the story of Cain and Abel to teach the importance of giving. Abel gave the best he had for the sacrifice. It shows readers there is a blessing associated with anything we give. The book was brief. There are 378 pages in the book. I did not have any problem understanding any story in the book.

I did not like some aspects of the book. The title of the book makes me think the book has one story. The book has more than one story. The author must use a better title for the book. I found a few errors in the book. I want the book to be error-free. I want the author to correct those errors. The book was not appropriately numbered. Some pages are not in the book. For instance, the piece has no page 4. A book that was not properly numbered did not sit well with me.

The book was educative. It taught me a lot of lessons. The story of Cain and Abel was educative. I enjoyed reading the book. I found a few errors in the book, so it is professionally well-edited. Due to my criticisms, I would rate it 3 out of 4 stars and recommend the book to anyone who wants to read a book with biblical stories.

Abel was a very jealous brother. He envied the success of his brother. This is a very bad character that we must avoid. There is nothing good in envy. I love this review.

Jealousy and the significance of making sacrifices are both touched on as the author gives us a unique insight into a part of the creation story involving Cain and Abel. This was a great read for me as well.

This is an awesome piece from the author. I like that he was able to fill in the missing gaps in the creation story. At least, he make sense of the confusions people have.

While I found some stories of the author to be interesting, it sound so unreal to me. All the same, it was such a good read.

The story is really easy-to-read but I don't understand why it's called 'killing abel' when it has so much more. but it really is a good book for a beginner.
