THE SERPENT'S GUILE is a psychological thriller with three main characters - a famous writer, his personal chauffeur and the unwitting biracial sex worker embroiled into the dark world of the writer. All three of them hiding secrets, all puppets of greed, all three magnificent liars. Set in an opulent background of the privileged few, it shows humanity at its lowest and at its most human element. Unlike books of same genre, readers know who the serpent is from the beginning. The crux is how each one of the three protagonists try to manipulate each other - like a game of chess, a charade, a cat and mouse game. A cliff hanger to the very last page, it keeps the readers guessing what happens next: who wins, who lives, and who dies.

“Karen Armstrong is a genius.”—A. N. Wilson As the foundation stone of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, The Book of Genesis unfolds some of the most arresting stories of world literature—the Creation; Adam and Eve; Cain and Abel; the sacrifice of Isaac. Yet the meaning of Genesis remains enigmatic. In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly acclaimed bestseller A History of God, brilliantly illuminates the mysteries and profundities of this mystifying work. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Karen Armstrong's Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life. “A lyrical chronicle of one woman's wrestling with Genesis that can serve as a guide to others . . . As notable for its scholarship as it is for its honesty and vulnerability.”—Publishers Weekly “Armstrong can simplify complex ideas, but she is never simplistic.”—The New York Times Book Review

Noah was a man of his time. He faced the same temptations and urges as his neighbors, but with a difference. He resisted those urges. Instead of seeking instant gratification, Noah was willing to wait. He knew that the violence and wickedness around him brought no one any lasting pleasure, as Cain had clearly illustrated. Violence bred more violence, until all hope of security and peace was lost. Those who tried to resist it were either seduced into it or killed, until only one righteous man remained. If God were going to salvage mankind, Noah was God’s last hope. This Bible study is designed to bring Noah’s struggles and conflicts into your living room and into your heart. You may rejoice with his victories and cry with his defeats, but most importantly, learn from his life. God’s commands were heart wrenching. How could Noah willingly participate in God’s plan? His obedience would bring death to his family, friends and society! Almost everyone and everything he ever knew would be lost! How could he live through such a great personal loss? Gather your friends together. This is an experience you will want to share. Noah’s legacy—it is a story to remember.
