Book

In the quiet town of Edenvale, a tragic crime shakes a family and a community to its core. The Trial of Cain is a masterful reimagining of the ancient biblical story of Cain and Abel, set against the dramatic backdrop of a modern courtroom. As farmer Cain Adams faces charges for the murder of his brother Abel, the trial unravels a century-old legacy of land disputes, sibling rivalry, and divine rejection.

Through gripping legal battles, forensic discoveries, and profound questions of faith and justice, the story explores the depths of human emotion and the haunting power of generational trauma. Torn between love for his family and his connection to the land, Cain must confront not only his actions but the weight of history itself.

Blending theological insight with the pulse-pounding tension of a legal thriller, Bishop Andy C. Lewter invites readers to reconsider the timeless themes of justice, mercy, and redemption. The Trial of Cain will keep you captivated until the final verdict—and leave you questioning how far we’ve truly come since the days of Eden.

Perfect for fans of biblical retellings, courtroom dramas, and thought-provoking fiction.
