Lost Memories of Eden


Book Description

Noah must do much more than simply build a huge ship in this novel of fantasy and adventure. When Noah is born, his father Lamech believes that his young wife, the beautiful teenager Bathenosh, had an affair with a tall, dark stranger, whom she met on their farm about the time of Noah’s conception. The tall, dark stranger is a fallen angel named Samhazi, who has cloned for himself a human body. He is torn between his demonic rebellion and his human love for the captivating dark-haired Bathenosh. When Noah is grown, Samhazi returns and abducts Noah’s young mother, who is entranced by him. He is part of a group of 200 fallen angels from the constellation Orion, who have assumed human bodies, and who desire to rule over ancient mankind. It looks like they will succeed. Only the daring boldness of the young Noah stands in their way. He and the patriarchs are inspired by the “memories of the Garden of Eden”, which they are determined shall not be lost or destroyed. The fallen angels desire to control the earth and to have women as companions. Noah resists their demonic activities by forcefully taking his lovely mother away from Samhazi. Noah’s pretty Cainite wife Naamah stands by Noah’s side, but even she temporarily falls under the spell of the enigmatic Samhazi, although she resists him. Finally, the fallen angels attempt to burn down the ark. The future of antediluvian mankind hangs in the balance as Noah defends the great ark from destruction.




Memories of Eden


Book Description

According to legend, the Garden of Eden was located in Iraq, and for millennia, Jews resided peacefully in metropolitan Baghdad. Memories of Eden: A Journey Through Jewish Baghdad reconstructs the last years of the oldest Jewish Diaspora community in the world through the recollections of Violette Shamash, a Jewish woman who was born in Baghdad in 1912, sent to her daughter Mira Rocca and son-in-law, the British journalist Tony Rocca. The result is a deeply textured memoir—an intimate portrait of an individual life, yet revealing of the complex dynamics of the Middle East in the twentieth century. Toward the end of her long life, Violette Shamash began writing letters, notes, and essays and sending them to the Roccas. The resulting book begins near the end of Ottoman rule and runs through the British Mandate, the emergence of an independent Iraq, and the start of dictatorial government. Shamash clearly loved the world in which she grew up but is altogether honest in her depiction of the transformation of attitudes toward Baghdad’s Jewish population. Shamash’s world is finally shattered by the Farhud, the name given to the massacre of hundreds of Iraqi Jews over three days in 1941. An event that has received very slight historical coverage, the Farhud is further described and placed in context in a concluding essay by Tony Rocca.

Echoes of Eden


Book Description

From comic books to summer blockbusters, all people enjoy art in some form or another. However, few of us can effectively explain why certain books, movies, and songs resonate so profoundly within us. In Echoes of Eden, Jerram Barrs helps us identify the significance of artistic expression as it reflects the extraordinary creativity and unmatched beauty of the Creator God. Additionally, Barrs provides the key elements for evaluating and defining great art: (1) The glory of the original creation; (2) The tragedy of the curse of sin; (3) The hope of final redemption and renewal. These three qualifiers are then put to the test as Barrs investigates five of the world's most influential authors who serve as ideal case studies in the exploration of the foundations and significance of great art.
