Miracle Man: The Story of Jesus
Discover the miracles of Jesus in this stunning picture book from award-winning author and illustrator John Hendrix. In this moving interpretation of the life and ministry of Jesus, John Hendrix brings to life the Biblical accounts of Jesus's miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection. From the feeding of the five thousand to walking on water, this is a story of faith told through Jesus's miraculous deeds. In this beautiful edition, Hendrix brings his signature style--interweaving hand-lettering with original illustrations--to create an approach that readers of all Christian denominations will find both extraordinary and inspirational. "These miracles give Hendrix the opportunity to showcase his inventive artwork, which forms letters from birds and butterflies and uses strong graphic elements to capture the wonder of Jesus' life . . . Visually exciting and fresh." --Booklist
