Miracle Man by John Hendrix
"On a day that didn’t seem at all unusual, there came an unusual Man. He looked like any other man, but he was like none who had ever lived before. This Man was God’s son. When he spoke, his words made things happen. His words came alive." The story of Jesus is one of the oldest and best-known in human history, and it has been interpreted by countless writers and artists over the last two thousand years. In this beautifully written and illustrated take on the Miracle Man, John Hendrix focuses on the biblical accounts of Jesus's many miracles leading up to his crucifixion. The book includes an author's note and list of Bible stories that inspired this project. Hendrix once again interweaves his handlettering with artwork to create a book readers of any denomination will find special and enlightening..
