Book Description:
Through parables of the good Samaritan and the prodigal son, the lost sheep and the beatitudes, Jesus taught his disciples the redeeming power of sacrificial love and showed mercy to everyone around him–especially the sick, the poor, and the downtrodden.
In this inspirational and richly illustrated book, John Hendrix brings to life the wisdom of Jesus. Interweaving hand lettering with his signature, award-winning art style, Hendrix captures the spirit of Jesus’s timeless message that will resonate with readers of any Christian faith.
Review:
This is a graphically gorgeous book, as well as a nice paraphrasing of Jesus’ parables to help readers get some of the background to make the stories relevant today, without changing them. For example, in the Good Samaritan story, it is made clear that the Samaritan is someone that the listeners didn’t like, but without losing the story flow or the original story.
