The Honey and the Fires

Published originally in Australia by ABC Books and HarperCollins, and in Japanese translation by the major publishing house Shueisha, THE HONEY AND THE FIRES is a retelling of some of the most powerful stories from the Bible for our day and age. This new paperback edition contains a story that did not appear in the original publication: "The Story of Adam and Eve - Narrated by a Snake."

Roger Pulvers has brilliantly captured the essence of these time-honored tales in often bold and lyrical language that makes this book both timeless and of our time.
