Book Review: Havah by Tosca Lee



Publisher: B & H Publishing Group
Publication Date: August 1, 2010 (2nd Edition)

Product Description

She knew this earth when it was perfect-like her, for a time. Made by God in a manner like no other, she lived in utter peace without flaw in paradise until one fateful decision changed everything. Now, all humanity suffers for her mistake. But what did it feel like then to first sin and be exiled, to see all innocence crumble so vividly, and a strange new world take its place? Experience the epic dawn of mankind through the eyes and heart of Eve-the woman first known as Havah.

My Review

Havah was, quite simply, a stunning book to read, one that swept me up from the first page and immersed me into the world of Adam and Eve as I have never encountered before. The book is raw, passionate, powerful. Though it is fiction and therefore takes some license to imagine the beginning as spelled out in the Bible, everything contained in its pages seems possible. It made me ache for them and showed me God's heart and desire for what could have been had they chosen differently. It makes me wonder what could be different in my life if I made different choices?

What an amazing read! Fully recommended, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
