Eden in Limbo

About the Book

Have you ever wondered:
• What it might be like to ask God, the holy spirit, who he is and how he might be important to your life?
• How the holy spirit would react to traditional religious thought and images of God?

If so, then Eden in Limbo: A Three-Act Play in Spirit is a must-read that captures a dramatic interaction of the human and divine. The self-named Third God, God’s holy spirit to us, comes to help humans find answers on their own with only his guidance…and finally his silence. Through an American Indian, a questioning Christian, a devout Christian and her wheelchair-bound friend, a Hindi couple, a homosexual couple, a French model and a group of outspoken black women, the “Third?God helps each (and the reader) to better understand themselves in relation to God. God’s purpose in this visit is simply to communicate at a human level and reflect our spiritual selves.

Eden in Limbo reaches out to absolutely anyone with a sense of imagination and open-mindedness.

"Eden In Limbo is a spiritual fantasy novel combining poetry with storytelling. God has taken a male human form; his female partner in the spirit world being silent to all but him. Like most men, he wants to learn to communicate better. As a God of the new century, he wants open communication with every person. In pursuit of this goal we are introduced to an American Indian, a questioning Christian, a devout Christian and her wheelchair-bound friend, a Hindi couple, a homosexual couple, a French model, and a group of outspoken black women—all seeking to better understand themselves in relation to God. Eden In Limbo is a recommended work of quixotic imagination and an engaging "what if" speculative fiction."

About the Author

Eden in Limbo: A Three Act Play in Spirit is Jan Peregrine's first published novel. Although she wrote a pseudo-Nancy Drew novel at age nine and continued writing personal novels, she feels this novel is her best because, in her words, she finally has something worth saying to the world. She recently sold her first poem, though her friends have been enjoying her evolving poetry for a decade.

Jan grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska, USA and went on to receive a Creative Writing award at a community college and a Masters of Pastoral Studies from Loyola University-Chicago. She has no religious affiliation now (after growing up Christian), but feels she has an even greater spirituality without it.

Jan can be reached at jankp@inetnebr.com for much-appreciated comments.
