    This first volume of the Torah for Nations series is a detailed and intimate presentation of the story of Adam and Eve. While remaining true to the literal text of the Bible, it enhances the Biblical narrative by expanding the conversations between G-d, Adam, Eve, and the serpent. These enhanced conversations, while imaginative, remain true to ancient Jewish interpretation and weave a comprehensive understanding of traditional Jewish philosophy and theology within the story line. Additionally, each conversation is supported by essays that prepare the reader to better appreciate the subtleties and lessons inherent in the conversations. Questions follow each chapter to stimulate discussion and further study. An introductory section presents key concepts of traditional Jewish belief such as creation, the age of the universe, the purpose of existence, choseness, and human limitations. Additionally, footnotes are incorporated in lieu of a glossary of Hebrew terms, making the text more user friendly and accessible. As mentioned, this is intended as the first volume of a series that will span the entire Old Testament and should take five to seven plus years to complete.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Willy once chose the path that felt safe  ~ but it didn’t make his heart sing. It left him wondering if there was more waiting just beyond his fears. 
    When his friend Emma needs help making a big decision, Willy shares the secret he discovered: happiness lives where your true heart leads you, not where fear tries to keep you. 
    Together, they learn that dreams grow brightest when you step beyond the “safe” and into the “possible.” Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is trust the whisper inside that says, this is who I am, and this is where I’m meant to go. 
    Willy Shares His Secret is a story for every dreamer, big and small: a reminder that your heart holds the map to your truest life. When you listen with courage and believe in the magic inside you, you can find the happiness that was waiting for you all along. 
    “My purpose, and the intention behind my books, is to guide others from the very beginning to look within themselves and embrace their unique selves and authenticity. We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.”

    Discover the stunning true story of Steven Bizic and the men of SPIKE team as they descend into darkness, landing amidst the turmoil of a nation torn apart by civil war and years of Nazi occupation.
