description: A lesser-known Bible story, The Woman Clothed with the Sun has the feel of an ancient myth. It is one of the visions seen by the apostle John while he was exiled on the island of Patmos. A beautiful woman, a fierce dragon, and mighty warriors who fight against the beast are all powerful elements in a story that has been a mystery for centuries. Anna K. Cole brings these stirring scenes to life with swirling watercolor paintings, and the text is taken directly from the book of Revelation. An introduction presents unique insights based on the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth-century Christian writer, who presents the story as a hopeful one -- a story of God's loving protection, for the hearts and minds of all people. Children can enjoy the beautiful pictures and epic tale, while adults can use the introduction to inspire deeper thoughts about the story. The Woman Clothed with the Sun invites the reader to look for and feel the symbolism and messages in this vivid depiction of a great struggle between good and evil.
