They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that's certainly true when it comes to grabbing attention, and helping people engage with the Gospel.
In the pulpit, we paint "word pictures" to engage the imagination and interest of our listeners. When it comes to the Gospel in print - pictures help most of us engage effectively with the big ideas of the Bible in memorable and impactful ways. Bridge to life; Christianity Explored; Two ways to live. I rest my case.
To try to find new ways of adorning the gospel for adults and children, we are hunting for fresh illustrators to work with, so this blog is a request to anyone out there to ask: do you know of people who God has gifted in this skill who we might think about working with? Please get in touch and let us know. Paste a link to their illustration online in the reply box, or email us at creative@thegoodbook.co.uk.
