The Garden Upon the Snake

For centuries, humanity has searched outward for its enemy—scanning the world, the heavens, and the unseen. Yet Scripture suggests a more unsettling truth: the serpent was never outside the garden. The serpent is the internal landscape shaped by fear, justification, and self-deception.
The Garden Upon the Snake invites readers into a fearless examination of the inner world they have avoided. Beginning at the heart of Genesis, the book reframes the fall not as an ancient event but as a living pattern still unfolding within the human mind.
Interweaving Scripture, psychology, symbolism, and story, the narrative traces a soul’s journey from wounding and wilderness to recognition, transformation, and awakening. This is not a message of escape from the world but a call to clarity—one that asks readers to face the mirror, tend the garden within, and discover the kingdom that has been waiting all along.
The Garden Upon the Snake offers no shortcuts and no soft promises. It offers truth—the kind that dismantles illusion and reveals what remains when everything false is stripped away.

About the Author

Michael Pittman is an author whose work emerges from lived experience, spiritual confrontation, and radical self-examination. Raised amid addiction, loss, and religious disillusionment, he walked a path shaped by incarceration, personal collapse, and near-death experiences before entering Christian ministry and discipleship.
Through profound solitude, generational trauma, and personal reckoning, Pittman confronted the inner landscape he once believed was shaped solely by external forces. His writing reflects a journey from self-deception to transformation, blending Scripture, psychological insight, and lived testimony.
In The Garden Upon the Snake, Pittman invites readers to step into the mirror of the self and discover that the kingdom they seek is not found by escaping darkness—but by facing it honestly and allowing truth to do its work.
