Reviews
The deck can be thought of as a portable New Testament (Gospels only). Or (I haven’t tried this yet, but I bet it would work) as an oracle deck. The cards can also be used for educational purposes or meditation.
The size of the cards is about a medium-size oracle card deck. The card stock is about the same as playing cards, but with a smooth laminated finish. There are 52 cards plus two jokers.
The LWB is fairly thick, with sections on symbolism, colour significance, card games to play, and detailed descriptions of each card. This booklet is geared towards Christians, so be aware of that.
The deck and book come in a nice hard box.
If you own this deck, hang onto it because it has become something of a collector’s item. I don’t know that I would spend a huge amount of money for it now; but I’ll always keep my copy because of the lovely artwork.
