Over sixty artists participated in this anthology, reflecting a very wide range of art styles and genres -- from "grim & gritty" to "funny animals". This book is a visual celebration of the words of the wise, and the wisdom of God's Word. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tying to make the boring into the palatableWhat to do if you're trying to make something as stupid and boring as the bible into something that a poor gullible child will accept?
