A LIVING HOPE: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ILLUSTRATED is a pictorial presentation of the gospel accounts according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Through a visual feast of hyperrealistic illustrations, it explores the world and times that Jesus walked in during His earthly ministry. See the Babe Jesus in the stone manger: the sign given to the shepherds that the long-awaited Saviour had been born in the city of David. Be amazed at the miracles and healings that Jesus performed as he travelled through the land seeking the lost, the sick and the oppressed. Be transformed by Jesus' revolutionary message of grace and peace. Observe the last supper as Jesus instituted the Holy Communion with unleavened bread and wine. Feel the Passion of the Christ, as He willingly suffered on His way to and on the cross to provide perfect atonement for mankind.* Behold His triumphant resurrection and glorious Ascension as the eternal High Priest seated at the right hand of God. Presented in chronological order, each illustration is done in a dynamic, highly detailed style that conveys the grandeur of each story portrayed while remaining faithful to the way they are described in the Scriptures. Every illustration is accompanied by the Bible passage it is based on**, accompanied by supplementary text from the Old Testament and the Epistles, and can be read as a continuous narrative or as a devotional, making it a great addition to any Christian library or a perfect gift for Christians of all stripes. Several years in the making by digital artist Dominic Fam, this compilation is both a visual study of and a tribute to the greatest act in human history, best summed up in the famous words of the Gospel of John: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) * This book contains images that may be unsuitable for minors. ** Scripture verses are in King James Version.
