The "Rest of the Story" Needs to be Told

Ever since first reading this book in 1996 I've periodically looked for the rest of this series. The unique vision of Mark Littleton in giving us a glimpse of heaven before the world was made stirs the heart with possibilties. Seeing the world through the eyes of angels was very creative and insightful.While I wouldn't go so far as saying this fictional book is Biblical, it definitely stirs one to look at the stories of the Bible in a new light. I was particularily impressed with the manner in which Mark casted a vision of worship from the point of view of an angel. It gave me much to think about in regards to my own life.The book was a quick and rewarding read (it ends just when things really start to get interesting). I look forward seeing how the "rest of the story" goes and finding myself transported once again into rhelms unseen by human eyes. This series is definately an undiscovered pearl.

Pure Enlightenment

Before Eden is a well-conceived and extremely well-written behind-the-scenes look at Creation and the war in heaven. The story is a thought-provoking explanation of why faith is important, told by means of an angel's eye view of Evil's waking moments. As an "Alexis DeTocqueville" of events in Heaven leading up to the Flood, our humble angel narrator ponders some of the same questions we all have in our struggle to understand God and the reason for good and evil. Our angel, however, has access to the very throne of the Creator and asks some pretty tough questions and receives some very piercing answers.Mark Littleton is obviously a man of God with a keen insight into spiritual curiosity. Unfortunately, this first book in a planned series is the only on that made it to print and now it is out of print. Too bad. Everyone with whom I've shared this book has raved about its clever treatment of nagging questions and have been left with a new perspective on the need for faith. And as for the realm of spiritual warfare, Littleton has my vote hands down over Frank Peretti.If you are a bliever, get and read this book!!If you are not a believer, get and read this book!!

Before Eden - A MUST READ! PLEASE CONTINUE THE SERIES!

Before Eden is filled with captivating imagery. I could hear the glorious melodies of the Angels, see the brilliance and beauty of all God's creations and grasp the walks and struggles through Eden. God's great love and omniscience was so close as I devoured each page. I am disappointed that the publisher discontinued the series. I definitely want more!!!

I am the author of BEFORE EDEN. Unfortunately, the series was cancelled by the publisher for yet unclear reasons. I have done a rewrite of BEFORE EDEN and also the second book in the series, TO BETHLEHEM. If people are interesting in receiving a download of either, I can make them available. Please email me, MarkLitt@AOL.com, for details.If there's enough interest, I will finish the series. Thanks again for your interest and support. Mark Littleton
