The great stories of the Bible are retold in a fresh and lively way in this children's Bible, with illustrations by an Israeli citizen, painting directly from the landscape. Extensively researched, this fresh approach roots the stories in the historical reality of their times. Artist Diana Shimon, aims to capture the bleakness of the desert, the beauty of the fields and olive groves, the tumble of village life, the work of the potters and smiths, and the harsh Middle Eastern light. Side panels provide background information on artefacts and customs, writing and beliefs. Direct quotes from the Bible texts are illustrated and draw the reader into the world of the storytellers and their listeners. Bible references on each page relate the story to the main Bible text.
