READ

Recommended reading includes: Adam & Eve: The Mystery of Man's Damnation and Salvation, and The Fall. All free to download from our Books section and Articles section.

Understanding the nature of man, the nature of God, and the nature of Satan and what happened to our foreparents in the Garden of Eden is critical to knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The epic tragedy of what occurred that day in the Garden forever set the destiny of mankind. The understanding of this calamity sheds light on the significance and absolute necessity of the atoning sacrifice and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You will also learn something about yourself, why you are the way you are, and why the world is the way it is.
