The children's illustrated Bible - Selina Hastings

In this magnificently illustrated edition of the Bible
all the best-loved stories of both Old and New Testaments are retold for young readers by Selina Hastings. Her fluent
lively style reflects the character and poetry of the original

such as Mount Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments

and artefacts are also featured: the lilies of the field
the cedars of Lebanon
and the kind of gifts the wise men might have brought to Jesus. The combination of colour photographs and illustrations gives children an exciting and completely new visual approach to the Bible.
