Book Synopsis
Transmogrification Was Only The Beginning
Lonnie Hicks, in a work of historical fiction, gives an alternative version of the birth of good and evil with the release of his new novel, The Gospel According to Lilith: Book One.
Hicks adapts his historical fiction novel around God’s wife Lilith and her bewitchment by Lucifer, God’s most favored angel. A child is conceived of this union. Hicks recreates the story of this first betrayal as Lord, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, uncovers the betrayal triggering an all-out war in heaven. At the end of the celestial bloodshed, Lucifer, Lilith, and all the angels who sided with them were transmogrified into hideous beasts and banished to the yet volcanically violent Earth. Lucifer becomes a reddened, horned monster with the face and horns of a goat and a pitchfork tail, while Lilith was doomed to crawl on her belly as a serpent. Thus begins a retelling of creation, from the development of Earth to the evolution of humanity, to Jesus’ role on earth.
In The Gospel According to Lilith, Hicks’ mythical exploration of the origins of good and evil will lead readers to discover a fresh, bold, point of view regarding God, the Creation, and even Lucifer.

"The Gospel According to Lilith" by Lonnie Hicks, is a book that challenges what you have been told about good and evil. In this book, major events from the Bible are explained from the point of view of Lilith. Lilith was the most enchanting arch-angel who was exiled along with Lucifer by God. Some of the events included are the creation of Adam and Eve as well as why Jesus was crucified.
I am not usually big on books dealing with religion, but this one was very different. The book is written from the point of view of Lilith, and she is telling the "truth" behind the stories we have all been taught over the years. This is one historical fiction that I am glad to have read.
