CAIN (Book 1) was an interesting story. Going back in Biblical History the author writes what may have occurred during the time of Adam and Eve. We all know what and why they did what they did, but it seem’s that God didn’t abandon them after they left the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve regretted what they had done and appreciated God’s mercy. When it came to Cain and Abel, God favored Abel and Cain tried in his mind to win God’s favor too. If Cain had appealed to God, as to what he needed to do to win God’s love, I’m sure He would have been able to help him in Cain’s quest. Instead, Cain became very jealous and listened to the demon and killed Abel. Cain, also, lied to God and his parents about what he had done.
Following along in the story you get an insight into Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel and the rest of the family.
With Cain leaving with his family to another area and what they encountered makes for a good read.
