Ultimate Bible Character Guide
I wish I had this book growing up! There are more than 150 Bible characters covered. You will meet bad kings, evil queens, eccentric prophets, giants, and giant killers, mysterious priests, lowly criminals, scheming spouses, faithful and unfaithful servants, supernatural beings, flawed heroes, and the flawless Jesus who came to redeem His people from their sins. The characters are listed in roughly alphabetical order, but you can find out where they fit in history by referring to the biblical timeline in the beginning section of the book. A full page is devoted to each person and tells where in the Bible their story is, when they were born, the meaning of their name, their occupation, their relatives, and their claim to fame. There is also a list of fun facts or a short recap of their story and an illustrated suggestion of what they looked like. This title would be a great addition to your home library! 224 pgs, hc. ~Amber
The Bible is filled with incredible and interesting characters—from Jesus to Eglon, Gabriel to Legion. The Ultimate Bible Character Guide brings 150 of them to life with comic-book style illustrations and hundreds of facts for kids to explore.
Young readers will be captivated to read about both well-known characters of the Bible and some they have yet to discover. They'll learn what characters' names meant, what strengths God gave them, who they considered enemies, and what battles they fought. Which one was possessed by demons? Who wrestled an angel? Who never died? It's all here, the good and the evil, the famous and the infamous.
In true encyclopedia form, characters will be arranged alphabetically and indexed so that favorites can be found easily. Contemporaries will be marked as such, and a timeline will help kids understand and place each story. Spreads will include full-length illustrations of each character, list of facts, descriptions, and background info.
