Who is not acquainted with the drawing of the broad and narrow way? Even many secular people can still recall this picture from their childhood. But have you ever taken a real close look at the drawing? Have you ever looked up the Bible texts which can be found all over this illustration? For those who do so, the drawing comes to life. Then a person begins to understand some of the deep messages it contains.

In this book, the author takes by the hand and guides you through the drawing, step by step. The many persons seem to come to life through the lively descriptions, and the messages of the many scenes become clear. The penetrating questions resounds time again: on which road am I travelling? On the broad or on the narrow way?

The book includes some historical details about the famous drawing. It also provides a short biography of the creator of the picture: Charlotte Reihlen.
