Daughter of Eden

Eve's Story

De: Jill Eileen Smith

Narrado por: Leah Horowitz

The first time she opens her eyes, Eve gazes on One whose beauty nearly blinds her, whose breath is in her lungs. Her Creator takes her hand and gives her to one like her and yet different. Together, she and Adam experience pure joy as they explore Eden. But her favorite moments are when the Creator comes to walk with them, day after day.

Until everything changes. With one act of disobedience, Eve finds that her world is no longer a friendly place. With remorse in her heart, she must face the unknown future—the births, the deaths, the sacrifices, the loss of the one home she has ever known. Perhaps worst of all is the loss of trust, not only with her Creator but with the man who shares her life. How will they ever survive out of Eden?

Bestselling biblical fiction author Jill Eileen Smith imagines the life of the first woman to ever live, unspooling a story of love, loss, and the promise of redemption.

Nice Story

A good interpretation of possible conversations and feelings. I couldn’t imagine being in Eve’s shoes.

A beautiful love story!

This story reminded me just how much I long to be with Jesus in heaven!

A Must Read Before You Meet Eve in Heaven

I don't know how many times I've wondered if Eve would be in Heaven and what I would say to her when I saw her. To live year after year knowing you were the one who introduced sin into a new world, I can't imagine and now I know after reading this book, it was living hell. So, if Eve hadn't picked that forbidden fruit, it could have been me. It's all about owning your wrong doing, asking forgiveness and moving on. Excellent read.

I really loved it - felt like I was there

I really felt as though I was there. You always here people joke that they cant wait to get to Heaven and have a talk with Eve. This stops you in your tracks, and makes you think of how this stayed with her. Even though there were creative/artistic liberties, this felt real. LOVE this so much.

What a beautiful way of telling this a story!

No word to express, was sobbing at the end of the book! Great job Jill! You have become one of my favorite authors❣️

Interesting Insights

Fun story to think about. Narrator needs to improve her inflections at the end of nearly every sentence. Very distracting and too interpretative on her part.

Masterpiece Of A Story

Leah Horowitz did a great job narrating this phenomenal story about Eve, our first mother. Wow!! If I could write a book about Eve, this would be it. So well researched, such deep thought processing obviously went into this. Eve's heart, her hurts dealing with Adam's resentful anger, the death of Abel, the loss of children through empty nest syndrome, seeing many turn away from YAHUAH. The triumphs of birthing, learning to make whatever was needed whether food or utensils, seeing Seth and Enoch walk with YAHUAH. The dangers of the giant nephilim and the consistent self doubt she must have experienced. This is a "masterpiece" of writing. I literally took my time listening because I didn't want the book to end. I know I will listen to it again, probably many times. That says a lot because I rarely even want to do that. Excellent!!!

Fabulous

This book made the story of our beginning, and the beginning of creation, come alive! I understand that artistic liberties were taken with the story, but it all made perfect sense, and I believe the author is right on target! Thank you thank you, thank you for this beautifully written, and narrated book.

great story

lovely time listening to this story.
narrator did a great job as well, single handed even!
I didn't always agree with how things in the beginning might have been, but loved to learn the authors perspectives.
interesting thoughts to ponder.
loved listening to another Bible related book by this author.
thank you.

Very interesting story.

This was a very interesting take on Eve and her life. After Adam and Eve are removed from the Garden of Eden and their troubles begin, the story becomes very interesting. As they have children, if you can get over the cringe worthy feeling of siblings marrying and having children, the story turns into one you can't put down. There are stories that stay with you. This in one of those stories. Very good if you believe in the love and forgiveness of God. If not, you will not enjoy this book.
