The Beginning: The Beginning: A Biblical Novel of Creation, Angels, and the Fall (Chronicles of Heaven)

In the beginning... before man, before Eden, before the fall-there was a Mystery.

Before creation, there was a wound.

Before the foundation of the world, there was a Lamb slain.

In The Beginning, Gene Edwards opens the unseen realm and invites readers to witness creation through the eyes of angels. From the first blazing moment of light to the forming of

Adam from clay, from the glory of Eden to the tragedy of the fall, this is the Genesis account told as you have never imagined it.

Inside this unforgettable biblical novel, you will experience:

- The creation of angels and the heavenly realms

- The rise and rebellion of Lucifer

- The forming of Adam and Eve from earth and breath

- The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

- The cosmic consequences of the fall

- The introduction of Death itself

- The first promise of redemption

This is not speculative fantasy.

It is a reverent, poetic meditation on Scripture's opening chapters-written with theological depth and spiritual awe.

Through dramatic dialogue and vivid imagery, Edwards portrays:

• God's eternal Purpose
• The Mystery hidden before creation
• The heartbreak of Eden
• The promise of a coming Seed

If you are drawn to biblical fiction that stirs worship...

If you long to see Genesis not merely as history, but as cosmic drama...

If you desire storytelling that honors Scripture while expanding the imagination...

Then The Beginning will draw you into the Chronicles of Heaven.
