The Bible is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures. Varying parts of the Bible are considered to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and humans by Christians, Jews, Samaritans, and Rastafari.

The plots in Killing Abel has not changed a single context in the words of the Bible, but the author's imagination fills in the gaps which led to difficult acknowledgement to some of the readers of the Bible. I really think this is the book is amazing, that is why I will rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

I haven't started reading this book yet, but it sounds very intriguing! I can't wait to see where the author's imagination takes him through the Bible stories! I am trying to get a copy, Amazon was out!

Thank you for this tip! I was having trouble getting the book also, but now I can start. It sounds intriguing, especially because I'm non religious

I will like to rate the book well. This is because I love learning new things and gathering knowledge. I won't recommend this book to non-religious people because it can give them another perspective or what Christianity really is.

The fact that the author was able to fill in the gaps using the human imagination was relieving in a way. I feel that the Bible does leave out the "nitty-gritty" if you will. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

I also had a really hard time downloading the book! Anyways, I think the author provides an interesting perspective regarding the Bible. I like how he uses his creativity to fill in the blanks during undocumented periods. I am not an overly religious person, but this book won me over in creativity. I rate it 4 out of 4!

Thanks, I have it now!

I am waiting on my copy! I have heard really good things and the comments on this thread also peak my interest. Will update after I read!

This sounds like a very interesting read. I usually enjoy books that are based on the Bible. Can't wait to see what the author does with this!

For the fact that the book is well written and is relatable to our everyday lives, I'd rate it 4 out of 4 stars. Giving it 4 stars doesn't mean that Killing Abel is perfect, No, there are things that I don't like.

I have not read this book yet, but the reviews seem pretty good. I am waiting to get a copy of this book.

Everyone Christian is conversant with this Bible story but adding personal views to is a suspense-trigger which I really enjoyed! I like that the most about this book. It receives a 4 out of 4 stars from me.

"Killing Abel" is an intriguing and valuable book.The author has been successfully able to satisfy the reader's curiosity regarding the Biblical events.The "fall of Man" has been a controversial subject of universal interest. The author skillfully makes use of the Biblical tales to embellish and illustrate his own perspective. The thing I like most about this book is that the characters are relatable and mundane enough so that readers can understand their motivations, empathize with their reactions and experiences. However, the fact that the reader used some his imagination in fabricating the Biblical events and illustrated his own perspective might not be acceptable for some Christian and Bible readers. The book review convinced me to read it and I would recommend this book to other readers.
