Mary Can Spark a Spiritual Connection in People Who Are Searching

Howard Bastian's The Children of Eden: Homebound nourishes the soul as it feeds the intellect. You will be spiritually moved as you read about the previously understated significance of Mary, the mother of God, and the miraculous story of her son, Jesus Christ. The Children of Eden: Homebound reminds us of the important role Mary played in Roman-occupied Jerusalem as she directed humankind to her son for salvation. Yes, there are many paths to deliverance, and some, like the mother of God’s, are less traveled … but deeply poignant. Bastian takes you on a sacred journey that starts in the Garden of Eden and then focuses on the historical and religious roles Mary has played and continues to play. Bastian highlights Mary's ability to spark a spiritual connection in people who are having trouble finding it elsewhere. As readers recount the story of Mary, they will be inspired to initiate and maintain a deeper relationship with God. This book relates Bible stories to many of our most troubling contemporary challenges.
