The Illustrated Hebrew Bible: 75 Selected Stories Book

The Illustrated Hebrew Bible is a massive, elegant edition of 75 powerful stories, parables, and prophesies from the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures, adapted by Ellen Frankel. A fresh translation, based on the translation of the Jewish Publication Society, brings familiar stories lurching to life: "In the very beginning, God created a world--the heavens and the earth--out of nothing. But this world was without rhyme or reason. Darkness covered the face of the deep, and the breath of God glided over the waters. Then God said, 'Let there be light!'" More than 100 color illustrations add drama and texture to this Bible--from Michelangelo's vision of Adam and Eve expelled from Eden to Marc Chagall's rendering of Jacob's Ladder. This is a book that many families will keep, with reverence, for years. Even young children will be drawn to its vivid language and brilliant pictures. Just make sure they wash their hands before you settle down on the sofa to read together.Read More
