The Trees of Life: A Scriptures Summary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638442660)

Starting with the Garden of Eden to Abraham going to Canaan region to the Jewish people going to Egypt and returning to Jerusalem with Moses, the history of countless generations are told until the life of Jesus Christ and his descent from King David, see the Old--Book 13, Chronicles 1: in synthesis, "The Trees of Life."

From the cover, the illustrations are original. Basically the location maps of the historical events were drawn in crayons for aged art and rustic millennium written scriptures that were done in stones or leather from sheep skins, as from Moses the Ten Commandments. The picture of Jesus starting to group with Peter and his brother Andrew, he is pointing to the sky, like saying something, with a bird passing; "Look, the future is to fly".

The paragraphs of the scriptures about what the prophets, leaders, or apostles did, as significant in their time, are brief, to be included in the whole. The book is intentionally a small summary for quick reading, intended even for teenagers to have fun and be informed.
