The author has a unique title,which makes the reader reflect it with the Biblical narration of Adam,or might mean another book,it's interesting finding the real relevance of the title.The foreground of the book commenced with the appreciation to his family and friends who contributed towards the book.
The book comprised with ten chapters,each chapter has different teachings and different verses from the Bible.Chapter one,the creation and the Garden of Aden,chapter two the circumstances enable them to leave Aden,chapter three,the devastating sequence of ,Cain and Abel,chapter four Re-examining of Aden was necessary,chapter five,the journey from Adam's Progeny to Good redemptive solution through the faith in Jesus Christ,chapter six faith sets free from sins and death,chapter seven Righteousness,chapter eight,walk with Christ and the final chapter The sacrifice of Jesus's blood.The Book commenced with the Old testament scriptures with Genesis,the first scriptures which talks of creation of Adam through God's image.And the creation of a woman through the rib of a man to bound the happiness and multiply,"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh.And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed" (Genesis 2:24,25).
The definition of the term "Naked" is illustrated in Genesis and the reason of Adam being naked ,What happen."The Lord had prohibited Adam the fruit,not even approach the fruit" (Genesis 3:2,3),the cunning of Satan through the Serpent which tempted Adam's wife.The author states the submissiveness of the wife as explained in the New Testament."Wives submit to your own husbands,as to the Lord.For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church" (Ephesians 5:23-28).
The origin of sins and death through Adam (Romans 5:12-14),the author brought the story of Cain and Abel,the relevance of the killing due to the offerings (Genesis 4:1-8). The Biblical understanding for a man to choose the right and good."Trust in the Lord will all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5-7). Also the Biblical understanding of faith,well expressed through the New Testament,"When the disciple came to Jesus Christ and said,"Why could we not Cast it out",He said to them,"because of your little faith". For truly l say to you,if you have faith like a grain of Mustard seed,you will say to this mountain move from here to there,and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you" (Mathew 17:10,20).
The author illustrates the real real faith through Noah,the Lord asked Noah to build an Ark and Abram to leave his home to Canaan (Genesis 7:1,Genesis 12:1-4). The freedom only comes through Jesus Christ's sacrifice to humanity.|For our sake he made him to be sin for us who knew no sin,so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy one is insight" (Proverb 9:10). The pursuit of the truth through Jesus Christ,"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,worker who has no need to be ashamed,rightly handling the word of truth,(Timothy 2:15)
The book has many blank pages especially at the end of all ten chapters ,some of the verses are not quoted.Otherwise good theological book to read very beneficial to understand Biblical stories well,the relevance to today's life
I do recommend the book to all the adult theologians,I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars,excellent book,well presented.

I love your review. I have read this book, and I must say its fascinating and thought-provoking. The questions it poses at the end of every chapter for reflection purposes also contributed to better understanding of the chapters.
