“For the author: This book is well written. You obviously have a strong grasp of the English language and vocabulary. I see that you have previously written another book. This one, “The Serpent Beguiled Eve,” always retains respect and reverence for the God of the Bible. And yet you have written about a difficult but contemporary issue…..
You kept my interest by hinting that things were not to be or were going to get worse, and this bit of mystery led to turning the page to learn, “What happens next?”
You do a good job presenting the spiritual truth that God is always with us, ever willing to forgive our sins and lukewarm living, and yet it is squarely on our shoulders to seek Him and to repent when necessary.

Summary
In The Serpent Beguiled Eve, author, Acacia Slaton transparently shares her journey of dealing with the heartbreak of a broken marriage due to her husband's homosexual unfaithfulness. This is not a gay¬bashing book, although Ms. Slaton does make it clear that she does not support homosexuality because of her Christian beliefs. While she points to problems in her husband's behavior and character, she is also quick to evaluate her own behavior and character in which she finds herself falling short. What I appreciate about Ms. Slaton's book is her sharing Scripture and godly counsel that led her to evaluate herself in the midst of this dark time in her life. She does not paint herself out to be a martyr nor an angel. She shares honestly of things which would have been easier left unshared. Her own bouts with mental illness, her career in psychology and counseling, and her strong Christian faith and support structure have allowed her to evaluate this painful trial and grow from it. She states in the book that in the midst of her pain she went looking for a book that could help her deal with being married to a man who chose to have sex with other men over his wife, but she was unable to find one. Thus she was moved to share her own story in hopes of helping others. She gives her readers much to think about; in fact, as she evaluates her spiritual state, I believe what she said can be applied to other situations in life. The reader should know up front that Ms. Slaton has a very strong biblical worldview. Homosexual sex is sin, and therefore wrong. She doesn't make any excuses for her beliefs. The writing is a little choppy and her thought process doesn't always readily flow from one chapter to another, but overall her purpose is accomplished in a fashion that is understandable and thought¬provoking. I trust her sincerity and honesty will be a blessing to others going through similar circumstances; her book will be the resource for them that she wasn't able to find.
