(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Linda Wolfsgruber. Lottridge recounts thirty-five incidents from the four Gospels, collating them into a single chronology and providing citations to chapter and verse. The narration is straightforward, with dialogue close to the biblical text; Lottridge has added descriptions of the action, in the manner of movie novelizations. The full-page art is eclectic in its visual references and various in its treatment. Attractive, accessible, and nonsectarian.
