<p>'An inexpensive precious jewel [ ] David Newbatt, who has brought his skill of creating a mood in our soul with his pictures to illustrating the contents throughout. Christian Maclean who spent much time on retelling the stories, true to their essence, and for weaving them together so masterfully, written in such a way that you want to read on to find out how life carries on. This book is a wonderful gift.'<br />-- Perspectives<br /><br />'This is an excellent sharing of some of the stories and events of the Bible. It gives these episodes an immediacy that is sometimes difficult to find in a strict translation, particularly for those who aren't as familiar with the Bible. Christian Maclean's style is very readable, and great for sharing. Interspersed throughout the text are beautiful illustrations painted by David Newbatt. They are vivid and dynamic, in soft, muted tones. There is a remarkable amount to be found in even the seemingly simplest of them.'<br />-- Jane Sandell, Stedfast</p>
