The author teaches us that Adam was innocent and lonely, he teaches us that Adam was practising the full commands from God and was a real perfect man in the image of God.
As God saw that Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden He decided to make him a helpmate, He created a woman from his (Adam's) rib and the woman was named Eve. These two newlyweds were commanded to fill the earth with people and to take charge of the garden of Eden.
The two were naked and did not recognise their nakedness, they were not having any problem in the garden of Eden. But after the visit of the serpent to approach the woman to convince her to eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden of Eden everything changed completely.

The woman ate the fruit and convinced the man (Adam) to eat the fruit also and he ate too. Then they started to recognise that they were naked. The author continues to bring the understanding of a question of nakedness.
The author shows us the judgement God placed before Adam, Eve and the serpent. He teaches us on how Adam and Eve struggled to cover their nakedness and how God made garments for them to cover their nakedness. He continued to teaches us on how sin and transgressions inherited from Adam continued to rule in the life of Cain. He shows us on how sin and transgression started when Cain became evil and sinned by killing Abel.
The author made sure that we understand the fruit and tree in the middle of the garden of Eden by reexamining Eden.

He makes us to understand that because of one man, Adam, we all sinned and by one man, Jesus Christ, our sins and transgressions are washed away. He makes sure that he lead our lives to Jesus Christ by faith.
The author teaches us about the real faith and gives us the real meaning of little faith. He sees it important to teach about faith because it is the only way that connects us with Jesus Christ. He shows us on how Jesus Christ died for our sins and transgressions and how the cross became the solution in our lives today.
As we become Christians he also teaches us on how we must lead our lives as Christians.

He shows us the battle between our flesh and the spirit. He teaches us that if we know that Jesus Christ has prepared our lives even before we were born we will not worry on anything but we will rest in His (Jesus Christ) arms not worrying about tomorrow. He teaches us to deny ourselves and take up the cross by following Him.

I found this book to be interesting and i would rate this book a three out of four stars because i think this is a well written book which many people would enjoy reading.
I did not give this book a higher rating because i think that there are certain parts which some ordinary people may find it difficult to understand as it needs theologians who are equiped with commentry books.
