This beautifully illustrated Bible has been retold for children aged 8 and up in an engaging and easy-to-understand style. Soft, glowing watercolour illustrations help to bring a full range of Old and New Testament stories to life, making this an inspiring and powerful introduction to overarching Christian themes: God's faithfulness to his people and the promise of Christ for all of humanity. Readers can also discover insight into the people and places of the Bible through a family tree, a glossary, timeline and maps of the Holy Land.

The Discovery Illustrated Family Bible has a durable hard cover with a navy ribbon marker and will make a wonderful gift.

'The Discovery Illustrated Family Bible retells the stories of the Bible in accessible yet beautiful language, and with useful explanations of faraway places and ancient times and their customs. The illustrations bring the stories to life so they will live on in those who read them.' -- Tom Ravetz, Lenker of The Christian Community in Great Britain and Ireland

'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.' -- Perspectives
