The Spirit of God Illustrated Bible brings to life more than 40 Bible stories that help readers understand that God’s Spirit has been with us since the beginning of time and continues to be with us today. From the glory of creation through the powerful letters of Paul, God’s Spirit is living in his people. Old and New Testament stories such as Adam and Eve, Abraham, Joseph, the Baptism of Jesus, and Pentecost come alive with dramatic illustrations by Fernando Juarez and moving text by Doris Rikkers. With a cover that sparkles and shines with foil, this is a special storybook Bible that will appeal to both children and parents alike.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
Even there your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast.
Psalm 139: 7–10
My thoughts: I absolutely loved this gem of a book with such engaging illustrations and well written. I cannot even imagine trying to narrow down the Bible to 40 stories but they did a great job at it and made a book that really does appeal to both old and young alike. A great way to engage young ones in the word of God this book is a great introduction and can help stimulate so many thought provoking discussions. I think this book makes a wonderful addition to anyone's library.
I received this book from the publisher through Read with Audra. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.
