Right from the beginning of the Bible to its end, the Holy Spirit is dramatically acknowledged: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2) and “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17).
The Spirit of God Illustrated Bible: Over 40 Stories of God’s Power and Presence (Zonderkidz, 2018) (@zonderkidz) colorfully reveals in 45 Bible stories how God’s Spirit, depicted by artist Fernando Juarez as a dramatic swirling mist, has been with us since the beginning and continues to be with us today. Highlighted are 29 Old and 16 New Testament stories such as Adam and Eve, Abraham, Joseph, the Baptism of Jesus, and the Pentecost. The stories are retold by author Doris Rikkers especially for children 4 to 8 years old, but everyone will enjoy contemplating the presence and power of God through the Holy Spirit.
