About the Book

We asked for it.  We asked for the "knowledge of good and of evil." and we got it.  Adam and Eve enabled us to experience "good"  and "evil" for every moment of our waking lives.  We can see it.  We can feel it.  We can hear it, taste it and touch it.  Evil is everywhere.  Check it out for yourselves.  The whole story of how it happened is in Genesis 3.  You  may disagree but never the less, disagreeing will not change the plight of mankind.

What is there for one to say about the knowing of "good and evil" except that there is nothing "good" about "evil."  Satan was "subtle" and remains so.  Our problem is, too many of us don't believe he exists.  We say, "How can anyone be so mean?"    ...or God is too good to allow evil."  Ignorance is in itself,   evil for until you know better, you will not be able to do better. I say look up.  Look around you.  Satan is the personification of evil, the father of lies.

Believe it or not, you are not as smart as Adam and Eve were!  They made the mistake of "listening to another voice"  and they submitted themselves to it.  We do it all the time, that is, until we learn to do better.

This book is a collection of experiences, examples of the "good" and the "evil", we experience as promised, wherein God said of the tree, "for in the day you eat of it you shall die."  (Gen 2:18)  and in Joh 3: 16-17, "For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life."
