Review of Killing Abel
Cain and Abel was a common story we heard in Sunday school, in preaching, and in evangelism. In his book, Killing Abel, Michael Tieman gives a clearer picture of the possible scenarios during Adam and Eve's early life on earth with their children. The author helps the readers appreciate and understand why God longed to perish all people, except Noah's family. Take note: the author noted that this book is a work of fiction based on the true events of the Bible.
To summarize the important highlights of this book, of course, everything began with God. It was followed by the creation of God, especially Adam and Eve. Most people are aware that the couple disobeyed God, causing them to vanish from the Garden of Eden. Here comes the procreation. Adam and Eve have twelve daughters before the boys come along, known as Cain and Abel. Fast forward to adulthood, Adam noticed that Cain was different and always obsessed with the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." Every time Adam tells his children about their disobedience to God, Cain's interest in the tree grows even more. Cain tries to convince his parents that he will journey with Abel to the Garden of Eden. Will Cain's journey with Abel be successful? Will Cain plan to kill his brother on this journey? Grab a copy now and refresh your mind with this entertaining book about the old story of the first set of people here on earth.
The author perfectly dramatized the few details of the biblical account, from the life outside the Garden of Eden to Noah's time. I observed that the author carefully followed the timeline of the Bible events, which I appreciated the most. I now have an idea about the whereabouts of the Garden of Eden and why it wasn't visible then. Plus, my question about Cain's descendants was answered. Moreover, I like the way the author emphasizes "Adam's square" and "Lamech's pentagon." I really enjoyed reading this part. What thrilled me the most? It's about how the "Nephilims" multiply and their special task with Noah. On the other hand, some parts of the narrative are a bit slow, which I list as my least favorite. Though the author carefully followed the hierarchy of events, there are some lines that need more suspenseful details because a lot of people aren't new to the story.
The style of writing isn't difficult to navigate. Readers will easily identify the narration, the conversations of humans, and the discussions of the "Trinity." On rare occasions, I noticed some minor flaws, but the flow of the story is professionally edited. The book had a great message, and I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The short story of the biblical account from the creation to the flood was fictionalized in a comprehensive way. The author guides the readers that faith in God matters most, repentance is a must, and obedience to God brings blessings. In addition, people had a choice not to commit sin by always connecting with God.
I recommend this book to a person who desires to know why Cain has a mark. The Killing Abel story concept may be familiar to readers, but I guarantee you will understand why you are struggling and how to overcome it. Anyone who wants to understand the love of God will find this book comforting. Any Christians out there, not just this group, who want to know why the "sons of God lived with the daughters of men" in Genesis 6:4 can find the answer in this book.
