The Fall: How Paradise was Lost

By William D Ogden

Where did the world come from? What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why would a loving God allow death and suffering?

Adam lived in paradise, had a personal relationship with God, and only had one rule to obey. So, why did Adam rebel and sin against his Creator? The answers to these questions, and many more, are all found in the first four chapters of Genesis, the first book of the Bible.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to suddenly come to life in a fully formed adult body like Adam and Eve, with all normal adult abilities including speech and physical coordination, but with no memories? If God were to welcome you to His brand-new world, what would you want to ask Him? This book will explore these questions and seek to open the eyes of your understanding.

God is very sparing with His words. He covers the creation and the fall in just three chapters. God told us everything we need to know, but not enough to fully satisfy our curiosity. Other passages in the Bible provide valuable information that helps fill in the blanks, but it does not tell us the whole story.

People love stories and learn from them. Jesus often used parables, stories, and physical illustrations to explain spiritual truth. That is the goal of this book.

This book is a Biblical, historical fiction, describing creation and the fall in story form, as God told it in Genesis. This story is built around the truths of Scripture. It seeks to fill in the blanks using imagination and information found elsewhere in the Bible. It seeks to portray Bible truth in ways that will help you understand what happened at the dawn of Creation.
