title: Escape from the Twisted Planet
author: Harold Myra
description: I read this book years ago when it was titled No Man in Eden (circa 1969). What a timeless and awesome book. It's too bad it went out of print. Once you have it, you will never let it out of your library. The author has a way of taking you in a fictional story to a different understanding of sin, hell, and God's grace. I have recommened this and still do to anyone who wants to have a glimpse of what life might be like when we live in a world without sin. A must read

  been given: "Your spaceship, Hope of Man, is entering the atmosphere of
  Earth."
  
  The words echoed and re-echoed in his mind, a discordant repetition. He
  staggered to a couch and lay down.
  
  Other words began to join the whirlpool of meaning and implication that was
  the original message: After six years... the Hope of Man . . . after six
  years, jus
