Great art and Ladwig has us rethink the way we see the Psalm by moving it from a rural setting to the city. ( )

The 23rd Psalm narrates the day of an African-American brother and sister as they get ready for school and walk to school and back again at the end of the day. They are raised by their grandparents and live in an urban setting where shady characters hang out on the streets. But they are buffeted by the love of their teachers, grandparents and God. Lovingly portrayed with realistic paintings.

The text of the 23rd Psalm combined with beautiful illustrations of a young boy living in a city who encounters both daily trials and daily grace. ( )

Illustrations of the 23rd Psalm in modern life.

No one can argue with the text of this book. It's one of the most beloved pieces of scripture. The twist is in the illustrations. Tim Ladwig walks you through the psalm and through an inner city neighborhood (the Valley of the Shadow of Death.) This option helps you put God's words into a real life situation. ( )
