Hardcore Faith discussion

Here's an interesting book I recently read. Thought some of you might like it. :)

The first born son of Adam and Eve...is still alive.

He has one week to reveal his secrets to his best friend, Lester, before he moves to the Middle East for one final divine task. But with a ruthless secret society of shadowy evil, known as the Lightmen, closing in, time is in desperately short supply.

In order to suceed he is going to need Lester's help.But first Lester needs a history lesson. With God's permission, Al finally tells of his life as it is and once was.

As Al recounts his story to his only confidant, Lester not only learns the secrets of his mysterious best friend, but the story behind the world's beginning - and in the process, he may even find faith for himself.

Here is my review:

In this speculative tale from author Michael C. Humphrey, Kole, the first son of Adam and Eve, is still alive, and he has decided to tell his friend Lester his life story. The reader is taken 6,000 years into the past as Lester reads Kole's journals about what happened to the descendants of Earth's first couple. The imagery and descriptions of the young planet are so vivid that one almost feels that they are there with Kole as he witnesses the murder of his brother Abel at Cain's hand, walks in the presence of God during his visit to Eden, and so on.

While at first the premise may seem strange (after all, Cain was the first son of Adam and Eve, right?), Humphrey provides a convincing explanation for Kole's existence, and fills in other gaps in Biblical history in a similar manner. It is clear that Humphrey did vast amounts of research when writing All Living to make the distant past as believable as possible.

I won't describe anything else about this book so other readers will be as surprised as I was regarding certain parts of the plot. I would recommend this to fans of Tosca Lee's historical novels and Robert Liparulo's novel The 13th Tribe.
