Book Description
This book is a lively exploration of the amazing revelation known to Mormons as the “Word of Wisdom.” It counsels us how and what we should eat to reach our highest potential, both physically and spiritually. New and surprising insights are presented through the perspective of what has been proven to be the healthiest human diet, a way of eating supported both by history and by science: a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. WFPB vegetarian diets have been scientifically proven to both prevent and cure chronic disease, help you achieve your maximum physical potential, and make it easy to reach and maintain your ideal weight. In this book, you’ll find the stories of dozens of people who are enjoying the blessings of following a Word of Wisdom diet, and you’ll get concrete advice on how to get started! You will discover: What we should and should not eat to enjoy maximum physical health. How food is intimately connected to our spiritual well being. Why Latter-day Saints are succumbing to the same chronic diseases as the rest of the population, despite not smoking, drinking, or doing drugs. How the Word of Wisdom was designed specifically for our day. How you can receive the “hidden treasures” and other blessings promised in the Word of Wisdom. Why eating the foods God has ordained for our use is better not just for our bodies, but for the animals and for the earth. You may think you know what the Word of Wisdom says, but you’ll be amazed at what you have missed. Learn why Mormons all over the world are “waking up” to the Word of Wisdom!

Book Description
When the book opens Eve, who is the narrator ,is just coming into consciousness. She has been given by God to the Serpent to raise. Her sense of wonder as the Serpent introduces her to life in Paradise is a strength of the book; she learns about nature, love and the way that the new and fascinating world works. When she comes into contact with God - who rears Adam - she is wary of his dominance and egotism.One day, becoming impatient to discover whether or not he`s designed the male and female to procreate properly, God rushes Adam and Eve into intercourse.The Serpent alone regcognizes the consequences of God`s act. `Until today Eve has felt...that the world was good...' but ' Adam as good as raped her.' Eve is devastated by the experience.Eve leaves the Garden to gain some distance from God and to discover what exists in the outside world; the Serpent accompanies her. They make several journeys - one to a volcano, one to a desert, one to a mountain range and one to the sea (where Eve swims out to sea against the instructions of the Serpent and nearly drowns.) On their return to the Garden, the roots of the apple tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil begin to grow; the Serpent sensing that time is running out to teach Eve that love making is good, changes into a man and makes love to her with great sensitivity. After this she is prepared to accept her role as the mother of humankind.God is outraged by Eve's - and also Adams's - interest in the tree of knowledge. He is at his capricious worst: everything must bow to his wishes. They realise that if they are to have any freedom of will they must leave God and the garden . The Serpent warns them that this will involve future suffering but Eve feels she must develop and be her own person.They go forth...

Book Description
ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN: A BIBLE-BASED STUDY CONCERNING FREE WILL, HUMAN NATURE, AND THE FALL OF MAN presents an extremely insightful and long overdue look into what really happened in the Garden of Eden. Using the BIBLE as its irrefutable source, this book digs deeply into what the BIBLE actually tells us about the events that occurred there. Every school child knows the story of Adam and Eve, the fruit, the temptation of the serpent, and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The story of what happened in that paradise is often presented as a fairy tale, an ancient parable, or a story not relevant to the rest of the BIBLE. But such misreadings are a mistake, for what happened in the Garden of Eden is completely relevant to everyone, and this story's underlying message is urgently needed in the world of today more than ever. By understanding the lessons learned from Adam and Eve's time with God in the Garden of Eden, we can gain clear insights into the nature of free will, the essence of what it means to be a human being, why our world is in its current state, why paradise was lost, and, perhaps most importantly, how paradise can be regained. The deeper lessons from the Garden are rarely discussed or even explored - and these lessons seem to have been forgotten by most people in the modern age, for it does not seem to be understood that woven into this ancient world narrative are golden strands of wisdom that thread themselves into a map that can lead us to eternal treasures of spiritual wisdom, and, ultimately, on a path back to a life - and a world - that is truly the paradise that God intended us to have. Here at last is a book that answers the most difficult questions about this story: Why, exactly, did God create Adam and Eve? What beings existed before humans? How do we know the serpent was the Devil? What methods of deception did the Devil use to trick Adam and Eve? Who are the people who were living in Nod when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden? Who is to blame for the Fall of Man: Adam, Eve, or the Devil? Since humans are not perfect, did God make a mistake when He made humans? Since the Devil is evil, did God make a mistake when He created the Devil? Why is there so much evil in world? What, exactly, is free will? Where is the Garden of Eden? Does the Garden still exist? Why is this story relevant today? Here at last is a book that provides crystal-clear, definitive answers to each of these perplexing questions. The answers to many of these questions will surprise you, inspire you, and remove any doubts you have ever harbored concerning God's plans for this world and for you. In this book's discussions you will find your faith in God and His plan raised to new levels as each of these issues - and so much more - is addressed definitively by finding the answers that are based on the BIBLE and that are found in the BIBLE - for this book is BIBLE-based, meaning that the BIBLE is the source for the information discussed here. Only by sticking to the BIBLE and adhering to a close reading of its actual words can we be certain to attain clarity in our discussion of what is actually said in the BIBLE itself. It is the sincere purpose of this book to take a deep look at what really happened in the Garden of Eden and what it means for us today. As you read this book, the BIBLE is quoted directly, and the excerpts under discussion are reprinted in bold (not in hard-to-read italics or red text or in microscopic footnotes) for your convenience so you do not have to close this book and go searching through your BIBLE to find the lines as they are referenced, nor do you have to flip around to other pages in this book to locate passages. This book focuses on Chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis, and these chapters are printed in their entirety within the in-depth, line-by-line discussion of the text itself, a discussion that will transform your life for the better forever.
