There are many paths to salvation, but some are far less traveled. Author Howard J. Bastian brings us a reminder of the significance of Mary, the mother of God, in the story of her son, Jesus Christ, and of Mary's ability to spark a spiritual connection in people that they may have trouble finding elsewhere. In Children of Eden: Homebound, Bastian highlights the stories of Adam and Eve and of a young Mary, in the hopes that his words may remind us of the important role Mary played, and to help others create a deeper relationship with God. The author himself uncovered a deeper connection with his religion as he learned more about Mary. He currently lives in Nassau, Bahamas. In addition to Children of Eden, Bastian has published his book The Ancient Path, and is currently working on a third. The author has most certainly outdone himself in his quest to get the reader to appreciate not only the importance and magnitude of Jesus Christ, but also the most special and unique role that his mother played and continues to play. - Rhonda Mary Thurston-Ingraham, Nassau, Bahamas
