And that is a great gift to every student of theology, Christian minister and interested lay man and woman."

"Marlin Watling provides wonderful visual echoes helping people 'see' the sometimes complex explanations of Prof. N.T. Wright. ...

Watling uses pictograms to help all of us, especially the rising generation, grasp these deep spiritual truths as expounded on by Wright in his many books. Use this simple and yet comprehensive primer for Bible studies, small group discussion and discipleship groups."
