“When sound systematic theology is conveyed to kids in a vibrant and accessible way, it is a victory to be celebrated. Emblems of the Infinite King does this, and I enthusiastically recommend it!”
―Randy Alcorn, author, Heaven; If God Is Good; and The Treasure Principle
“Emblems of the Infinite King may be the coolest theology textbook the world has ever seen. But it’s not style at the expense of substance. Each lesson is concise, approachable, and packed with theological insight. The words and the illustrations work in tandem to communicate profound truth. For Christian parents, educators, youth pastors, and young people, this is an essential new resource.”
―Brett McCracken, Senior Editor, The Gospel Coalition; author, The Wisdom Pyramid
“It is probably the greatest challenge for an artist to visualize biblical teaching. To bring something true and beautiful to the point without falling into clichés and yet remain fresh and innovative is something that very few artists succeed in doing. Anthony Benedetto did just that with his illustrations for Emblems of the Infinite King. An extraordinary achievement that will help many young readers to get to know the true God of the Bible better.”
―Peter Voth, designer; illustrator
“Benedetto’s iconic illustration style coupled with Lister’s immersive writing is a perfect pairing. This is a must-have for fans of both rich theology and beautiful illustration.”
―Don Clark, artist; Cofounder, Invisible Creature
“In Emblems of the Infinite King, the author and illustrator have used beautiful words and pictures to tell of the beautiful triune God and the beautiful gospel. Here is a theological primer worth reading to your children, with your children, and for your children to read on their own.”
―Ron Marrs, President, Portland Youth Workers Network; Professor of Youth and Pastoral Ministry, Western Seminary; Elder, Hinson Baptist Church
“As a father and educator, this work fills a void for the body of Christ. Lister and Benedetto combine theology with resplendent graphics to present the epic story of redemption in Christ. It is a masterful way of presenting the true, good, and beautiful to formative hearts and minds through the disciplines of biblical and systematic theology. Emblems of the Infinite King will become a seminal work for young theologians and a great handbook for parents and educators to pass on the faith to the next generation. This book keeps the good news of Jesus Christ as the central story of Scripture.”
―Dan Peterson, Head of School, Regents School of Austin, Texas
“Emblems of the Infinite King is a beautifully told and beautifully illustrated story that creatively guides you through the even more beautiful truths of God’s character and work in the world. It is a theology book that captures and captivates, just like the God it sets out to describe. This is a book I look forward to reading to my children and one that I will make sure is on their bedside table when they are older as well.”
―Thomas J. Terry, Director, Humble Beast; member, Beautiful Eulogy; Lead Pastor, Trinity Church of Portland
“This book carries you into an ‘other than’ story experience, where you are immersed in a sense of fantasy and wonder, only to discover that it’s the story you are truly living with a King who is truly with you. It has captured my imagination and curiosity as a believer, reignited creative ways to communicate the truths of Scripture in my work as a pastor, and assisted me in my parenting as I help my children discover God. This book couples beautiful art with creative narrative to accomplish a wonderful unfolding of the doctrines our children so desperately need to learn.”
―Justin R. Rahmes, Lead Pastor, Missio Dei Church, Cincinnati, Ohio
“This amazing book, written in a narrative style, is a grand adventure through rich and mysterious theological truths. Beautifully woven together, the writing and illustrations echo with an ancient mythology.”
―John Hendrix, author and illustrator, Miracle Man and The Faithful Spy
“Emblems of the Infinite King is an outstanding contribution to children’s Christian literature and will make an excellent addition to any family’s library. Grand theological topics are expounded on in a way that centers on the one who came to rescue those who could not rescue themselves. Divine truths are presented in ways that are accessible, appropriately weighty, deeply rooted in the gospel, and complemented with reverential illustrations that bring vivid attention to the sacredness of the message.”
―Jared Pulliam, Founding Pastor, Christ Church Sellwood, Portland, Oregon
“Emblems of the Infinite King is the invitation to an adventure―and not just any adventure, but the greatest journey anyone could ever embark upon: that of knowing and following the living God. Explaining systematic theology using a poetic narrative, this book wisely frames biblical theology as a breathtaking glimpse of heaven, earth, and the grand arc of all history. With captivating illustrations, it offers parents a way to introduce their kids to the core doctrines of Christian faith in a way that evokes awe and wonder. For adults and kids alike, Emblems of the Infinite King captures the imagination and proves a powerful reminder of the story we all need to continually be reminded of―the story of the good King who loves his creation dearly.”
―Pip Craighead, author and illustrator, Little Francis Falls Asleep
“Emblems of the Infinite King is systematic theology with a narrative approach that carefully weaves together the doctrines of the Christian faith, making sometimes abstract concepts palpable to young readers. Successfully peeling back layer by layer the heart and work of God in Christ, this book gives youth a firm foundation of who God is and who they are in relation to him. Paired with beautifully illustrated iconography, Emblems of the Infinite King gives clarity to the transcendent and illuminates the mystery.”
―Nollan Obena, Art Director, Cartoon Network

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative Delight
This book is, without a doubt, THE best book I have ever read for introducing children to the beauty and the wonder of the Gospel from beginning to end, using imaginative and propositional truth statements to clarify core doctrines of the Bible. As a bonus, the illustrations are striking, as much for what they hint at or don't reveal at a cursory glance as for what they do.There are certain images and elements that captivate mankind's imagination. Among them are keys, kings, crowns, and glory. This book utilizes all of the above in such a creative way, both in illustrations and in the text, that I found my own adult mind being drawn in time and again by the beauty of the way this book tells the Gospel story. And as I tried to explain to friends what and how the illustrations work upon the imagination, I found my own imagination being further expanded and drawn in to the story yet again. After all, THE story this book is based upon IS the greatest story ever told, and kudos to both the author and the illustrator of this book for enabling the reader to see old truths with new eyes.Thank you, J. Ryan and Anthony M. for creating such a beautiful book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for family devotions. Love everything about it
I love this book so much! We read it as a family before bed. Such great imagery of the gospel laid out! Definitely recommend. Our family is ages 13-3.
5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book for the heart and the eyes
For years I have been looking for a theology book for children ages 8-15 which is easy to understand but not "child like". I have had the pleasure to know children who are very bright and I think this book will be a great challenge. I bought two to give away, but I think I will buy more. This book should be in every church, and would make an excellent gift to a curious preteen and young teen
5.0 out of 5 stars Humble beginnings
As a Christian struggling to recover from my Pharisaic ways, this lens of thinking is a game changer for gospel ministry. Imagine how the church would be affected if we begin thinking like this book so beautifully demonstrates: how do we take the deep things of God and teach it to our children? This was what our “Infinite King” Jesus demonstrated in his earthly ministry. Not only does this book converge theology and creativity, but does so in the form of a compelling story. A story that roars of a better story the culture is communicating to our youth. I am beyond grateful for God in his grace to work in his people to this capacity.As a youth pastor, I will be recommending this to students, leaders, and parents. I am grateful to begin reforming my practice of ministry in lieu of this lens: taking the deep things of God to a child. Praying God would purge the Pharisee in us and replace it with child-like faith.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best!
This is one of the most beautiful (both in words and pictures) kids devotional we’ve ever used. It has often even given me stuff to chew on. Richly written and biblical.
5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely impressed...never seen doctrine unpacked quite like this
I am reading with my 9 and 12 year old boys. This material is tough for them, but creating a lot of fodder for lifelong conversations. Doctrine is sound and grateful for the creativity and effort put into something like this. The book is gorgeous and will be in our family for a long time
5.0 out of 5 stars Such an important book
This is such an important and necessary book! Dr. Lister's writing is profound yet understandable, and the visuals are breathtakingly beautiful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any age
If you have children (especially 10+), I highly recommend this book for them. If you want a gripping, understandable systematic theology for yourself, read it! I was captured by the sounds and sights throughout the story. It magnifies King Jesus.
Brilliant!
Been looking for things to read with our boys (6 & 8 years old). This is quite simply outstanding. I've not read it all, but the artwork, the tone of wonder it strikes, and the clear truth it compellingly presents is just spot on. You won't regret buying this. Haven't finished chapter one with our boys, and already bought another for someone else. ENJOY!
