I am thoroughly in love with this book! I saw it recommended in several places online, and knew that it would be a lovely addition to my classroom resources. I am even more impressed after reading through it. First, I love the infographic style illustrations that are both simple and sweet without being too childish, printed in a uniform color scheme on thick matte paper. The Jr. Highers in my class will not think this books looks too juvenile for them, which is half the battle. This book is full of information about life in the Holy Land during Jesus' time. Its maps and diagrams all support the text as it tells about the culture, religious customs, food, hobbies, and more of Jesus' people. The first unit I'll be teaching this year is literally titled "Who is Jesus," so I know that this is going to become a frequently referenced text. Understanding this historical context is going to help bring the Scriptures alive, I have no doubt.
