From one of the world's biggest selling authors comes another million-copy worldwide bestseller: A beautiful and tender fable seen through the eyes of a Jewish child living in Belgium under the Nazi occupation. It is 1942 and the Jews are being deported from Belgium. Separated from his parents, seven-year-old Joseph must go into hiding. He is taken in the dead of night to an orphanage, the Villa Jaune, where the benign and enigmatic Father Pons presides over a motley assortment of children. With the ever-present threat of the Gestapo growing closer, Joseph learns that the secret of survival is to conceal his Jewish heritage. Soon Joseph also discovers that Father Pons has a secret of his own: he is risking his life not only for the boys in his care, but for the Jewish faith itself. Sensitive, funny and deeply humane, Noah's Child is a simple fable that reveals the complexities of faith, bravery and the human condition.

Noah's Other Son examines twenty-five familiar figures who play major roles in the Qur'an and in both Old and New Testaments of the Bible, revealing how understanding the characters in these texts can point the present-day Muslim, Jew, and Christian toward a more mature and tolerant concept of religion. Noah's Other Son serves as an introduction to the place of the Qur'an in Muslim and world culture, as well as a tool to help equip all moderate religious people to deal with extremism wherever it may be found.
Some dreams come true. Some books foretell a future. For 57-year-old Noah, his life was misery. He desperately wanted to be a baby - nappies and all. But being single and alone made that an impossibility. The one thing a baby simply had to have was... a parent. Noah wanted a mummy. Recent Ph.D. graduate, Lisa has been offered the chance to study regression along with the possibility of going even further and perhaps reducing the physical size of an adult baby until they are an actual baby. Can she do it? And what part does a years-old amateur manuscript play in the drama that unfolds? A story of wishful thinking and the reality of infancy that comes back again.
