"This magnificent book is God's story of romance and redemption, broken down into 70 scenes, each with it's own beautiful full-page painting. The seriousness of sin and how it separates us from our Creator is not sugar glossed over. The first 19 scenes gets us up to Adam and Eve being banished from the garden. Did you catch that? 19 pages (out of 70!) to tell us about God's plan for creating the world and the fall of mankind. If there is one thing I want my sons to understand it is their complete and utter need for a Savior. Those first 19 scenes clearly and brilliantly pave the way into the rest of the story - the story of a King who is romancing and wooing a fallen and broken world back to Himself." — Jessica, Amazon.com
"Would highly recommend this book for children of all ages (I'm 73). The pictures are a fabulous way to add depth and understanding to the text." — Hoco, Review on Barnes & Noble
