An Innocent World

We are the Guilty. Had the events at the Garden of Eden taken another turn, we could have become different beings altogether. Perhaps the Innocents. But given the world, how could the Innocents have fared? In his book, An Innocent World, Douglas A. King explores this question, digging into his understanding of the world, religious standpoint, and science. He deeply examines the Innocents' appearance, and how they could have grappled with the worlds vagaries and challenges. In a nutshell, An Innocent World is a concise and compelling read suitable not only for those interested in religion but also for those who enjoy philosophy and have a keen interest in the world we live in. One thing to love about this book is Kings point of view. He writes based on his experience and understanding of his surroundings, more so as a father and an experienced older man eager to understand our role and place in the universe. He brings religion and science into the book. With clarity, he immerses a version of ourselves into our war-torn and deceased-ridden world and invites readers to see for themselves how this version goes about living. To achieve the book's objective, King employs clear prose. He makes the reading interactive by posing questions. For instance, would the world of the Innocents experience natural disasters? He elaborates on this world while also allowing room for readers to debate these issues themselves. Overall, An Innocent World aims to retrace mankind's footsteps back to the Garden of Eden and examine humanity's relationship with God and place on Earth; therefore, stands out as a must-read nonfiction work.

"An Innocent World" tells the story of the world, looking at 'what is', 'what might be', and 'what could be'. I love the initial reviews attached to the book, so I read with the expectation that it would be much better, since corrections from the first edition would have been made, and I was not disappointed. It's interesting and refreshing to see that the author used a lot of tools, for example, logic, the Bible, and his experience, to make a compelling and interesting narrative, and I believe the mixture of these tools gave the book a delightful flavor. There are a lot of repetitive thoughts and debates, which help to reinforce the author's key point while carrying the reader along. It's nice to see someone just sit down and meditate on a particular matter; a lot of people do not do this anymore. There are infinite ideas and possibilities to the view the author tries to portray, and it's nice to have a unique thought. The writer's use of language conveys a sense of conviction and confidence. The writer reviews his idea from various aspects of life, such as family, medicine, and sport, comparing what he imagines and expects to be true to the current realities in our world today. It's important to note that the writer's comparison is tailored towards the area of the world where he lives, and he probably hasn't traveled very far to other places, as a lot of the situations specified in this book already exist in our world today. Therefore, people reading this book who come from a different perspective or cultural background might wonder why there needs to be another group of people for these things to exist. The reader learns a bit of everything from quantum physics to neuroanatomy to music genres. This shows that the writer is well-learned and probably did in-depth research, as stated in the introduction. Quite an interesting read.
