We have all heard of Eve, the very first woman who was created in God's own image. She lived in a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden, and she was married to the first man, Adam. Remember her? She lived a perfect life in an idyllic setting. Unfortunately, it didn't last long.
Join Shirley Corder as she draws Eve out of the shadow of the garden and shows her as a real flesh-and-blood woman. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your situation, or faced seemingly impossible challenges, you will identify with this woman who had no mother, sister, or even female friend.
Written in creative non-fiction, the story stays close to the biblical narrative, but Shirley brings it alive in a way that will encourage you and give you some chuckles.
Reflections after each short chapter will enable you to walk in Eve's bare feet as you apply the words you have just read to your own life.

My Review
I love books by author Shirley Corder. She has well researched the Bible to tell such wonderful accounts of the different ladies of the Bible. Eve as we all know is the first woman and first mother. I can't imagine how it felt to be her just being created. Then to have a baby without knowing what to do be pretty scary. I would be like her asking so many questions. At least we have someone we can talk too. While reading I could picture being there with her. If only she had not took of the fruit from the tree she shouldn't have. If you enjoy learning more about the Bible and different people in it I would suggest reading books by Shirley.
