Illustrated by
Seymour Chwast.
Hanft retells thirteen stories from the Old Testament, including the Creation, Noah's Ark, and David and Goliath. Each story is concisely told on one page, which also includes a short Bible passage and a spot illustration. On the facing pages are Chwast's signature cleanly composed illustrations in muted hues, many of which fold out to reveal larger scenes.
