| The Dust Of Eden In this simple story, the most popular of Bob Siegel's plays, 25 year old Sean Knight is informed by an angel that he has only one day left to live. Through flashbacks, Sean recalls his high school and college days, tracing a romantic relationship with Gretchen, an unpopular Jewish girl and her traumatized sister. Underestimating the impact he has had on Gretchen's entire family, Sean is challenged to continue being a part of that family even after "being burned". Indeed, coming to peace with his scorned pain is the very thing Sean must accomplish before dying. Usually when Christians are challenged to sacrifice their lives for Jesus, they think in terms of some unrealistic grandiose martyrdom. The Dust of Eden brings altruism down to earth, placing it in the context of family rapport which everyone relates to.
