Will bring the ancient text to life
“The book of Joel uses vivid imagery to convey both warning and consolation for God’s people. This collection invites the reader into the prophet’s world which is filled with locusts, heavenly portents, and other striking phenomena. The pictures displayed here will bring the ancient text to life for a contemporary audience.”
