Natalya~A book I'm reading!

My grandfather gave me a book for Christmas that I've been reading. It's about some young kids (ages 12 and 15) and their grandpa who get transported back in time to the garden of Eden. Only...they're still sinners, and Adam and Eve (who they know as "Man" and "Woman") aren't. It makes for some very interesting dialog.

So for I can recommend it, but I'm only about a quarter of a way through it, so I can't completely recommend it...yet. The author is very good, and it's CLEAN fantasy so far. No witches. wizards, or other mythical creatures. (though some creatures that don't exist anymore like Leviathan) and from the reviews I've read, it sounds like that kind of thing never shows up. Strange though...because it's not really fantasy, the back in time part is, but the actual place they travel to is a very, very new earth, and so it's not a different world at all, just a different time and place. It's pretty cool. I normally hate fantasy books (there are practically no good ones out there saving Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and I can even be picky about those) but this is utterly fantastic so far!

My grandpa is friends with the author too, and I SO want to meet him! :)


Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Whatever book you read, non-fiction, fantasy, and everything in between, make sure it is pleasing to the Lord, and enlightens your eyes, instead of darkening it.
