Edenward · Where belief becomes a way of life
Not simply believing in God—but trusting His character enough to surrender the life we have already designed and allow Him to lead what comes next. Edenward begins with covenant marriage and Naked and Unashamed.
Genesis 2:25
“The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”
The journey begins here—not with performance, but with God’s design for covenant without hiding.
On September 20, 2026, Dr. Kimberly V. Marks published Naked and Unashamed: A Covenant Journey Back to Eden, the flagship book of Edenward.
The book begins with marriage, but its central question reaches much further: What would life look like if we did not merely believe in God, but trusted Him enough to live as though His Word is true?
Tracing God’s design from Genesis to Revelation, Naked and Unashamed brings biblical truth and clinical wisdom to communication, conflict, intimacy, forgiveness, spiritual opposition, broken trust, faithfulness, and restoration. It invites readers to examine what happens when hiding replaces honesty, protection replaces presence, and performance replaces connection—and to return to God as the Source.
The book does not offer a formula for a perfect marriage, excuse coercion, or sanctify suffering. Abuse is never God’s design. Instead, it offers an honest journey toward truth, grace, vulnerability, Covenant faithfulness, and restoration.
Naked and Unashamed is also the first doorway into Edenward: a growing body of work designed to close the distance between professed faith and lived trust through Exposure, Truth, Belief, Alignment, and Transformation.
The Edenward Conviction
The deepest gap in the Christian life may not be between unbelief and belief. It may be the distance between professed faith and surrendered trust.
We can speak the language of faith while still asking God to bless what we have already decided. We can call it trust while quietly managing the outcome.
Faith was never meant to become another place to hide.
Edenward begins where hiding ends—with the courage to be seen by God, led by God, and transformed in the places real life tests what we say we believe.
Toward the life God intended.
The Edenward Transformation Pathway
Edenward does not begin by asking us to perform better. It begins by bringing what is hidden into the light, returning to truth, and allowing belief to reshape the way we live.
Hidden beliefs, wounds, fears, protections, and patterns are brought into the light—not for condemnation, but so they no longer govern us unseen.
We return to what God has actually said about Himself, about us, and about the life He designed.
Truth moves beyond agreement into trust as we choose God’s character and Word over fear, habit, and experience.
Our choices, relationships, and practices come into agreement with what we say we believe.
Truth becomes lived obedience—forming wholeness, freedom, and faithful fruit over time.
Begin with the question
Where am I still hiding?
Exposure is an invitation to be fully known before God—to recognize the coverings we may have mistaken for identity, wisdom, strength, or faithfulness so that truth can move beyond agreement and become obedience.
Return to Scripture as the authority—not culture, fear, preference, or performance.
Let God meet the unedited self—moving from hiding and shame toward identity, grace, vulnerability, and freedom.
Release the need to manage the outcome and explore what surrender, obedience, courage, and faith look like in actual life.
Bring truth and grace to marriage, intimacy, repair, boundaries, and restoration.
Live as God’s beloved child—with alignment, inheritance, calling, and Kingdom purpose.
The Flagship Book
Naked and Unashamed
Published September 20, 2026
Marriage is often where believers discover the distance between what they confess about God and what they are willing to entrust to Him.
Naked and Unashamed asks what would change if we set aside the world’s definitions and truly believed what God said. It begins with marriage because Covenant exposes what hiding costs: hiding replaces honesty, and self-protection replaces presence.
Tracing God’s design from Genesis to Revelation, Dr. Kimberly V. Marks brings biblical truth and clinical wisdom to communication, conflict, intimacy, forgiveness, spiritual opposition, broken trust, and restoration.
Naked and Unashamed is not the boundary of Edenward. It is the first substantial expression of its promise: belief brought into the real places where life is tested.
