    About this ebook

    Tainted Beauty is a short story recounting Adam and Eve's fall in the garden of Eden and how Jesus was willing to offer himself in the garden of Gethsemane to fix the sin of humanity. The first of a series called Images Transformed, it takes poetic license to show the connections between the two gardens as images in the Bible.
