AGAIN

About the Book

The Creator tells Adam that He will be sending a new Adam to Earth to build the world over again. But this time, Adamian, the new Adam, will be helped enourmously by drawing on the experience of some of the greatest men and women who have ever lived, such as Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Moses, Jesus, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Muhammad, Fatimah, Buddha, Krishna, Radha, Meerabai, Confucius, Socrates and Diotima. Maybe with the help of their hard-won wisdom, this time it will work.

   Before Adamian begins, he falls in love with Eve. Even though his powerful affection for Eve conflicts with his intense desire to please Adam, his spiritual father, the love affair develops as a natural and inevitable occurrence.

    AGAIN highlights the atrocities of a male- dominated society and the absurdity of ignoring the natural superiority of women. Although the original Eve will help regenerate the human race, this time the Adam will be different. Eve´s new mate must be of a new order of man because it was the sons, not the daughters of Adam, who destroyed the world.

    The book is a song of sorrow about the failings of humankind and a celebration of its tremendous potential. It is written in the tradition of Plato´s: Dialogues, Dante´s: Divine Comedy, Thomas More´s: Utopia,Jostein Gaarder´s "Sophie´s World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy", James Redfield´s "The Celestine Prophecy", and Khalil Gibran´s "The Prophet".

    The spiritual journey Adamian undertakes to prepare for the task of rehabilitating humanity reveals not only the joys and wonders of life, but also the unity of many cultures, civilizations, races and religions. When he has experienced a sense of being one with the Creator and all He has created, the new Adam is ready for his mission, and the reader is ready to reconsider the shallow and hollow way we live, and to follow a new direction for the fulfillment of the great human promise.
