“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 Hand in Hand
“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, Uncomfortable and Hipster Christianity
“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
