We once lived in Paradise, basking in the very presence of God. Eden was our dwelling place and God was our delight. But we went rogue and lost them both. Now East of Eden is where we live—fighting to find our way home. But the entrance is blocked. Pain and sorrow overshadow our searches that end in death. Futility is our shared experience. But it won’t have the last word. There’s a way home--an entrance back into God's presence. 3
