Even as God walked through the beauty of His new creation, and breathed life into Adam, His masterpiece … a warrior-angel gives into his pride—and commits the ultimate betrayal. Witness Adam and Eve falling into Lucifer’s trap, as the battle for eternity begins in this brilliantly presented retelling of Creation, the Fall, and God’s promise of redemption.

Hott Review:

The Battle Begins – whoa, does it ever!
What I liked: The Battle Begins is a very clever dramatization of Lucifer’s fall and Adam & Eve’s dismissal from the Garden. It’s an enthralling story that I couldn’t out down.
What I didn’t like: There were times that I needed to remind myself that this was a comic book and a story from the author’s imagination. In some ways I think they distinctively differentiated from the Bible making it evident that this is a dramatization.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
