Review:

The bible is considered to be the word of God. This is the belief of Jews and Christians. This book is divided into two parts. The old and new testaments. Readers can learn about early civilization with illustrated maps and guides found here. Readers can learn about Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark and even the Ark tablet. We may think of cherubim as cute and chubby, but in the bible, they are described as scary 15-foot-tall four-sided head creature with hooves. In the new testament readers will learn about the world of Jesus.

The beautiful illustrations found through out these pages depict life during biblical times. Readers will get brief snippets of important well-known parts of the bible. In some sections there are scientific explanations presented as an alternative way of viewing the events in the bible. In the back pages of the book readers will see a glossary of terms and even a list with pictures of some of the personalities found in the bible. Their names, vitals which describes where they are found in the bible and their purpose and also information regarding what they were famous for.  Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to introduce the bible to young readers.
