My Review:

"Forever Loved, Eve’s Story" by Joanna May Chee is a wonderful story that is written as if Eve, the first woman is telling her autobiography. This is a story of Adam and Eve's love story with each other and with God. This book shows how our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to know his true love for us. While reading this book I kept thinking, you know, I can see it happening like this. I think most of us think of Eve as just as the woman who brought sin into our lives and we never really thought of her as a daughter and having conversations with God, her Father, but the Bible does tell us that Adam and Eve did have conversations with God and He walked with them. I think this book might just stop the laughter and jokes about Eve. I cringed when even pastors joke and blame Eve for sin, when we all know that sin is because of Satan, and we all fall into his deceit at times.

I am glad the author shared her personal story at the beginning of the book and the close relationship she had with her father. I so wanted a close relationship with my father but it didn't happen and now it won't ever happen because my father passed January 11, 2019, but I know I can have a close relationship with my Heavenly Father and that He loves each and every one of his daughters.

Throughout the story, there are Biblical scriptures that enhances the story of Eve.

This is a simple and short book that I read in about 45 minutes and I am going to download the free devotional "Treasures Hidden in the Story of Eve’. I am also going to check out the Devotional Bible Study when it becomes available. I am really wanting a deeper relationship with Father God and I think studying Eve , the first woman just might be the place to start.

I recommend this book to everyone, even men because I think men need to also know that Eve was more than the first woman to sin.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Guest Post from Joanna

True or False? Eve spent time with God before meeting Adam.

True or False? Eve wasn’t called Eve until after the Fall.

Does the Bible even say?

Until recently, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you, even though I’ve been a Christian many years, and thought I knew the Bible story of Eve really well!

It was during hot, sticky, jet-lagged nights, about four years ago, on holiday overseas, that God started giving me new and wonderful insight into Eve’s life. Words literally started pouring through my head: the story of Eve, but not as I’d heard it before!

I’d always had negative connotations of Eve – the first woman to be tempted, the first to sin. But the story God revealed to me during my sleepless nights was one of preciousness and beauty. It was the story of Father and daughter, of God’s incredible love for Eve, and His equally wondrous love for me.

As Eve’s story unfolded over several nights, I wrote it down; and God gave me a book I did not ask for (but am forever grateful for): Forever Loved: Eve’s Story.

These new insights into Eve’s story have been life-changing. God has brought me deeper into His love than I could ever have imagined. (In the introduction of ‘Forever Loved: Eve’s Story’ I share something of the deep hurt and insecurity I experienced growing up – including the time I got into BIG trouble with my teacher – my cry to know God as Father, and how God’s love has brought healing and freedom.)

It’s my prayer that ‘Forever Loved: Eve’s Story’ touches the lives of women around the world, that women may come into deeper experience of God as Father, and know just how beautiful and precious they are to Him.

So, back to the True/False questions at the beginning of this post! What do you think?

I’d love to share with you what I’ve discovered by giving you a free copy of a devotional I’ve written called ‘Treasures Hidden in the Story of Eve’. This devotional explores some of the amazing truths God’s shown me about Eve, and the wonderful implications for us as women today (and includes extracts from ‘Forever Loved: Eve’s Story’). Download the devotional for free here

I pray God touches you as deeply as He has me, as you explore the Bible story of Eve afresh. May you encounter the love of Father God as never before.
