Hi all!
Hope you're well.
The book I am going to share with you today is called The Golden Children's Bible, written by Reverend J. Grispino, re-published in 1993 by Golden Books. I got this one as a gift from an aunt of mine and I must say I always found it magical in its own special way.
In the first image, I loved how Grispino showed the transition of creations, such beautiful illustrations and so lifelike.
Growing up, I never really spent a long time reading it, but I loved the illustrations. I was always surprised that Pharaoh's daughter in the picture above, didn't look Egyptian, but I thought baby Moses was rather plump and cute. At least to a little girl's eye.
They truly look like murals you would see in a church, just completely breathtaking, and completely true to form.
Thank you for reading!

Cannot get any more brilliant than this book!
ReplyDeleteI had this book as a child and read it cover to cover at age ten. It laid the foundation for me to understand the Bible as one epic narrative. I still love to read the Bible and I thank God for Golden Books' bible.
