Unlike Bible studies where portions of scripture are isolated for application, the Serpent and the Woman moves through the familiar scenes and characters of the Bible to show the reader the single plan of God. <br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: white;\">Come, walk in The Garden as The Serpent nears The Woman. Experience the sad departure from Eden. Watch as the promise of The Woman&rsquo;s Seed (Christ) moves through the Old Testament stories of Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham and David, as The Serpent (Satan) tries to prevent His coming. Finally, meet Jesus, and long for His return, as you find your place in The Biblical Adventure. <br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: white;\">If you are new to BiblicalStory.org, this book is an important starting place for all levels.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-7\" class=\"x-section\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 10px 0px 45px; background-color: hsla(187, 60%, 21%, 0.59);\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text cs-ta-left\" style=\"color: white;\" ><h4><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thebiblicalstory.org\/baylis\/book-theserpentandthewoman\/\" style=\"color: white;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Serpent and the Woman<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The Serpent and The Woman is written as an easily read explanation of the Biblical Story and how it leads to Jesus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>As such, it is useful for small groups, homeschool, churches, families, missions, evangelism, and other uses.
