The New Testament Experience

‘With its brilliant duo of modern imagery and ancient Scripture, provides fresh perspective on the relevance of God’s Word. Open this book and awaken your senses to rediscover the Gospel’s timeless truths! – Lisa Bevere, New York Times Bestselling Author & Cofounder Messenger International

‘This bible is exactly what this generation needed!’ – Dan Watson, Youth & Young Adults Pastor, Hillsong Church UK

‘Illustrated bibles are nothing new but this impressive ‘magbook’ gives this tradition a modern twist so as to connect with a generation that is largely indifferent or even hostile to religion. It’s vitality, innovation and commitment is to be applauded.’ – Mail on Sunday

‘This stunning presentation of the Bible will capture imaginations and reveal more of the narrative found in the Gospels. I would recommend it to anyone seeking to experience the Bible in a whole new way.’ – Jeremy Cowart, Author, Artist and Founder of Purpose Hotel

‘Thank you to the team who have laboured with love on this project so more can understand just how much they are loved.’ – Charlotte Gambill, Lead Pastor of LIFE Church, UK

‘This is pure creative genius! I love the use of imagery. I love the layout. I love the finish! This is a brilliant expression of the living word of God for our generation!” – Peter Wilson, Creative Pastor, Lakewood Church/Joel Osteen Ministries.

‘It is beautifully done and is so accessible. I am sure it will be an amazing tool for this generation.’ – Pippa Gumbel, HTB

‘The Bible throws our existence into sharp relief. Its extremes of light and darkness, its ethical highs and lows, are a context for us to consider who we are. This new presentation of these world-defining texts is alive to such questions, matching the artistry of its photographs to the artistry of the sacred word.’ – Professor Ben Quash, Professor of Christianity and the Arts, King’s College London
