And God Said...

Do you dismiss the existence of God because of the popular attitude ridiculing the creation story and the garden of Eden story in the Bible, claiming there is no basis in science for it to be true? Author Ruth Anne Carpenter takes on a new approach to the age-old mystery of creation in And God Said: A Study of Creation and the Garden of Eden. She skillfully incorporates the science behind God's creation of the earth-the land, the waters, the vegetation, the animals-the moon, the sun, and finally man and woman to show readers that science and Christianity can in fact coexist. Carpenter then outlines the remaining individual verses of these prophecies, exploring the meaning and impact of the first marriage between Adam and Eve and their eventual banishment from the garden of Eden after succumbing to the power of Satan and partaking of the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Ruth Anne Carpenter has written an enlightening study of creation that reconciles scientific studies with spiritual truth. It will encourage you to investigate into your own soul and explore your own faith more fully. Ruth Anne Carpenter lives in Newport News, Virginia, with her husband of thirty-three years. She has embraced her faith and has studied the Bible her whole life.
