Combining the skills of a scientific researcher and storyteller, Andrew Guyatt gives us his own compelling re-telling of the story. Firmly rooted in the Genesis account, it reveals the brutal, idolatrous society which opposes Noah's devotion to 'the Holy One'. After struggling to build the Ark, he agonises over the judgement it brings and, with his family, endures a year in the great boat's dark, dank, odorous and claustrophobic belly before reaching a new, clean world. Noah may have been a man from ancient times but his problems and triumphs carry an amazing resonance for us.
