| About the Book
“The
Orion Chronicles gives us insights into the seeds of separatism,
war, and terrorism--the fruits of judgment. It is a touching saga of
personal yet epic proportions, a must-read for anyone who has ever
felt guilty or rejected and yearns for freedom of the soul—which
is just about everyone. On another level, it is a challenging and
thought-provoking historical and cosmic perspective on man’s human
and spiritual evolution as seen in our sacred traditional stories of
the Bible. Evans also expands our minds into the realm of science
fiction. Or is it fiction? Whatever your inclinations may be, you
will enjoy this delightfully nonjudgmental new writer who gently
coaxes us into a liberating way of thinking.”

Gift of Taking (2001).
In
this amazing odyssey, we
see what happens when an
innocent little girl grows up, trained to be afraid.
Genevieve’s home life, by outward appearances seems odd but not
threatening. Most people, however, are unaware of the level of fear
and intimidation motivating the lives of the people inside her group
who look to the elders for guidance through
strict rules. It could be any number of religious groups. Hers
happens to be the sect called Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is drummed
into her that if she is bad and does not adhere to “The Truth,”
she will be killed by God at Armageddon--by Jehovah, god of
vengeance. At the same time, her parents accuse her of being bad, a
spoiled brat. There seems to be no hope. She is doomed to die. On
any given day. Yet somehow, deep inside Genevieve dwells a
mysterious inner voice that whispers to her that something is not
right.
This is
a remarkable novel about a girl who grows to womanhood realizing
that to live in fear is worse than dying. She courageously risks all
and loses everything—home, husband, family and community--to move
out of religious oppression to discover her own truth—and
freedom. After the arduous trials of a lifetime, she is
rewarded. Her quest for understanding is expanded by something she
could never have imagined--a visit by a benevolent entity from the
constellation of Orion, who brings a message of tolerance and love.
It is through this gentle and often amusing character that
she finds answers and the missing pieces she has always sought. She
learns how to re-interpret the old stories of judgment into messages
of love.
