Here is a unique book for all who want to know more about the Bible and its people. It presents the great figures of the Bible in word and picture. Magnificent full-page portraits of more than seventy important biblical personages grace its pages, and all are accompanied by concise one-page biographies.
This book is intended to show that the figures in the Bible are not like TV personages. They are not people who have nothing to do with our lives. They are real people who lived and breathed, they sinned and sought forgiveness, and they struggled to believe even as we do today. Accordingly, they have something important to say to us. Each one went through some phases of life that parallels events or situations in our lives. Their means of coping with such circumstances can be vitally instructive to us. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
