Dying to Control: The 21st Century Dilemma

by Leon R. Hayduchok

The story of Adam and Eve”one of the oldest and most widely cherished stories in human history”has been misused and abused in the battleground of America's culture war. Dating back to the Scopes Trial of 1925, evolutionists and creationists have been tearing this story apart in their fight over the origin of man, losing sight of one significant the story of Adam and Eve was not written as a scientific treatise but as an account of human nature and our relationship with God and one another. Dying to Control offers a fresh and provocative look at the Garden of Eden drama, revealing how the story of Adam and Eve is our story. This penetrating work exposes our obsession with control and the extreme lengths we go to preserve and promote the self. This overdue commentary on American culture offers a compelling perspective on how to experience the fullness of life in a world dying to control.

[Tom Eakin · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the top three books I've ever read on the human condition. A masterfully crafted exploration of why we make choices that confound the very nature of the relationships we need to live the way God wants us to. Hayduchok takes us back to the beginning, the core.
