Will enrich anyone’s preaching or teaching
“Through my career I have come to value highly the contribution that visual images can make to our understanding of Scripture. I am therefore delighted that this resource is now available. This phenomenal collection contains photographs pertaining to every aspect of the text that can only enhance how the text is interpreted and taught. This compilation will enrich anyone’s preaching or teaching.”

A wonderful new visual commentary
“The Photo Companion to the Bible provides a wonderful new visual commentary to reading the Book of Jonah. The text of the Bible does not include detailed description of places and objects. Drawing on photographs, maps, and drawings, this resource helps us ‘see’ the story of Jonah in a fuller way.”
—Rabbi Steven Bob, guest faculty, Wheaton College; author of Jonah and the Meaning of Our Lives and Go to Nineveh
