I Blame Eve by Susanna Foth Aughtmon

I Blame Eve by Susanna Foth Aughtmon was such fun to read. There are a lot of lessons to be learned in this book that addresses issues with chapter titles as: I Would Listen to a Talking Snake, I Have at Least One Enemy, I Get Discouraged, I Don't Like Waiting, and more. This is one woman's take on what went down in the Garden of Eden and why she'd most likely would have done the same thing that Eve did. If we all look inside I'm sure we'd feel the same way. Susanna gets her points across with scripture and humor, some of this stuff is seriously funny! I love learning from teachers who aren't afraid to show real life and the humor that goes along with it. To me, there's nothing worse than a stuffy Christian. Bleh. Susanna is a breath of fresh air.

About the book:

When our great-to-the-nth-degree grandmother Eve ate the fruit, we lost out on the perfect life. But that doesn’t stop us from trying, does it? In fact, we make trying to be perfect the focus of our entire lives! But what would happen if we stopped trying to be perfect and started trying to be his?

In this fantastically witty book, Susanna Foth Aughtmon helps women find out what it means to be honest about what we crave in life and let go of our deep need to be in control. Using Scripture and amusing personal stories, she shows women the freedom of embracing the unique path God lays out for each of us. Includes study questions to facilitate group or individual use.
