Rise of Cain

ByJ. Henry Martin

Cain was the firstborn son of Adam and Eve who grew up to murder his brother. But that was over 125 years later. This is the story of what went wrong. Drawing from the account in Genesis 1:1 - 5:2 and from assumptions of how a near-perfect humanity would survive and thrive, the author uses his imagination to fill in the gaps. The characters are far from perfect and this is not a Sunday School story for children. The characters react as adults in a world learning what humanity is all about. The world they live in is a fertile valley surrounded by a less hospitable wilderness. From the original campsite several days travel east of Eden, the family of Adam and Eve grows to ten towns by the end of the first 130 years. Abel grows close to God, while Cain becomes a wealthy plantation owner -- the most powerful man in the valley. The conflict grows for over a century and in the ends with mankind's first civil war.
