This books is full of mini letters from Paul, the apostle of Christ. He writes to several different populations and each letter contains mini pleadings and messages about how they audience of the letter should live their life. There aren't a lot of illustrations in this book other than Paul writing and the words he writes. 

I liked this book personally because my own kids hear a lot of the same bible stories repeated, and this was a new element of the bible they were unfamiliar with. That said, I don’t know exactly what role this book serves in a school library; it will depend tremendously on your school’s audience.
