The author offers a message about God's forgiveness and constancy, beginning with a reinterpretation of the biblical story of Adam and Eve, suggesting that it is not an account of people being punished for one mistake, but rather an example of people becoming fully aware of their humanity.

Work Description
This book is asks the question: How good does God need us to be, for us to be loved? Does God require perfection? Effort? Humility? Willingness to admit mistakes? Most importantly, the author shows how guilt and shame are not helpful in our path, since they reduce our confidence and ability to be brave in difficult situations. Highly recommended.
