About the Book

Discover the miracles of Jesus in this stunning picture book from award-winning author and illustrator John Hendrix. In this moving interpretation of the life and ministry of Jesus, John Hendrix brings to life the Biblical accounts of Jesus's miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection. From the feeding of the five thousand to walking on water, this is a story of faith told through Jesus's miraculous deeds. The story of the Miracle Man is one of the best known in human history, and it has been retold by countless writers and artists for more than 2,000 years.
