Havah is the story of Eve. After reading the first novel by this author I was really looking forward to this book.
The first few chapters were beautifully and creatively written. I loved the authors take on how she considered Eden to be both of the land and the animals and how Adam and Eve interacted with all of it. I wish she had spent more time there, but the majority of the book focused on the fall and it's aftermath. And while I can't fault her for her take on the way she believed that things could have been, she seemed to make it very dark very quickly (and maybe rightly so,) but for three quarters of the book it was very depressing. Adam and Eves relationship seemed to be great one day and spiraling out of the control the next day and it never seemed to get better or ever even out. There were a few bright spots, but they were to few and far apart.
There was nothing wrong with the writing itself, or the editing, I just didn't want to read so intently what I go through everyday, the sin in this world, the heartbreak and the heartache. Just my opinion.

What's Lost Can Be Found
Havah is a wildly passionate, honest, and grace-filled look into the life of the first ancestors of all human, Adam and Eve. This story will change the way you look, think, and evaluate their life and fateful decision that lead to the fall. You will honestly think twice before judging them as harshly as you have before because you will see just how easily the same decision could have been made by us if we were in their shoes.
After reading this book, you will understand how Eve's decision was both made by her and also a push from Satan to make this new human face fall from grace as he did. However, to our delight and to Satan's dismay, God didn't leave us without a way back to Him. Instead He planted a hope in Adam and Eve and planned for a future event which would give us a way back to God and His grace. Praise be to our loving and merciful God, He did just that, but it would be in His time! Adam and Eve didn't live to see the restoration of the human race back to God, but they did live long enough to understand that God' time was theirs and God had NOT turned His back on them despite their sin. He still over them and watched over them. He just couldn't be as close to them as He was before the fall because He can't look on sin.
What effected me the most from reasing this book as the degredation of the connection\relationship that God shared with Adam and Eve as well as the relationship between Adam and Eve before the fall. Even the relationship of Adam and Eve with the animals before and after the fall really hit me as something I never really thought of before. It really killed me to "watch" how these relationships went from perfection to what we define today as a normal relationship with God, other humans, and the animals around us. This really grieved me and made me hope for and long for that perfect communication\relationship that this book lays out before the fall. On, how I hope it is truly like that when we get to Heave. My heart so longs for that perfection, that connection, that level of awareness that I cried every time conflict came up between Adam and Eve and amongst their children that highlighted the loss of deterioration of that once close relationship. I can't image how I would even begin to deal with the loss of such a magnificent gift if I were I were in Eve's place.
Every life has a story as some day, and the life of Eve is one story that could fill books too numerous to count if we humans knew all of the details. I think our love of her story would turn to desperation and perhaps we wouldn't work so hard to destroy each other, but instead work harder to bring each other close to Christ in order to restore as much as possible, via Jesus's sacrifice, the previous perfect state of love and relationship with our Creator that existed before the fall. Perhaps then we would truly understand how much God loves and cherishes both the mail and female gender as they were both extracted from His own nature. Perhaps then this world would not be so fertile a playground for Satan and his demons. Perhaps we would trample him under our feet more and team down this strongholds in our lives. Perhaps then the body of Christ would once again clothe herself in the purest white and cleanse her heart and be who God intended her to be.
