    ISBN:

    Written by children's educational editor Martha Van Marter and extensively illustrated by political cartoonist Frank Beard, this volume presents the major stories, proverbs, and parables of the Old and New Testaments using a "rebus" system. In this format, standard printed words are frequently substituted with tiny, contextual line drawings and icons. To read a sentence completely, the reader must puzzle out and decode how each symbol completes the biblical verse. The book covers iconic narratives—ranging from Genesis and Noah’s Ark to the life and parables of Jesus—acting as both a mnemonic learning tool and a family game book designed to build vocabulary and scripture familiarity.
