Lilith

De: Nikki Marmery

Narrado por: Lara Sawalha

Before Eve, there was Lilith.

Lilith and Adam are equal and happy in the Garden of Eden. Until Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him. She refuses—and is banished forever from Paradise.

Demonized and sidelined, Lilith watches in fury as God creates Eve, the woman who accepts her submission. But Lilith has a secret: she has already tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Endowed with Wisdom, she knows why Asherah—God's wife and equal, the Queen of Heaven—is missing. Lilith has a plan: she will rescue Eve, find Asherah, restore balance to the world, and regain her rightful place in Paradise.

Lilith's quest for justice drives her throughout history, from the ziggurats of Ancient Sumer, to the court of Israel's Queen Jezebel, and to the side of a radical preacher in Roman Judea. Noah's wife, Norea, Jezebel and Mary Magdalene all play their part in Lilith's enlightenment. In the modern age, as she observes the catastrophic consequences of a world built on inequality, Lilith finally understands what must be done to correct the wrong done to women—and all humankind—at the beginning of time.

Heartbroken it's Over

I wanted this book to last forever. The story stirred something deep in my soul, and awakened a Truth. If I could, I would have this be mandatory reading. the wiring is sumptuous, and so elegant, like a balm. The narrator couldn't be more perfect with her portrayal of emotion. Put this book on your "To Read" list, then move it right to the top. It's truly one of the best books I've read this decade.

Brought to light all the gaslighting the church has done to me my whole life.

A story every woman should know and every man should learn from. An enlightening read that feels so strongly based in truth.

beautiful awakening story

The real story of the beginning of religion and the true meaning of life and how it should of started and what could've been. truly recommen

it was ok

not as enthralling as it's hyped to be. It tended to drag on a bit.

I loved the better telling of actual history

more believable than stories told in the Bibles written by men. I've always believed God was a woman.
