Drawn to the Gospels: An Illustrated Lectionary (Year B)

by Jay Sidebotham, Jay Sidebotham (Illustrator)

Overview

Each week brings a lighthearted opportunity to remember that humor and the gospel are not mutually exclusive.
The Drawn to the Gospels series covers all of the Sundays in the lectionary year, as well as special days such as Christmas, Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, and Ascension Day. Each entry contains a cartoon illustration of the gospel, a short paragraph of introduction, and some engaging questions. The cartoons are scaled so they can be reproduced for bulletins, inserts, or even posters, bringing weekly gospel readings to life.

These amusing and original reflections deepen scriptural literacy and engagement among members of the Episcopal Church, including youth groups, and will inspire some fun in the process.
