Preview Book



This book challenges readers to trust in God in spite of our fears and misconceptions. With memorable characters and vivid imagery, this story offers a compelling, emotional, and thought-provoking allegory of one's relationship with God.

In this radical retelling of the Garden of Eden story, Creator makes only one human, named Cherished. Instead of creating a second human, Creator wants to be that trusted companion. But Cherished finds it difficult to relate to the invisible Creator.

With the help of three Teachers, Cherished journeys toward trusting in his loving Creator, even though Creator's actions don't comply with his expectations. Cherished grapples with disappointment, frustration, doubt, and failure. He endures numerous challenges, not knowing that they are meant to prepare him for his greatest crisis of all. In its underlying theme, this story presents life as a means for transformation when we entrust our experiences to God.
