Bible and Books

This edition of the entire New Testament text of the Japanese Living Bible (now called the Japanese Contemporary Bible in the English speaking world) contains 22 pages of full-color manga style illustrations that appeal to children as well as adults.

This revision has a conversational style of Japanese language easily accessible to jr. high students and the man and woman on the street. Contains other B&W photos and illustrations, furigana to pronounce all kanji, book introductions, descriptions of Jesus’ disciples and a map of Jesus' journeys. Forest Books.
