Using dozens of full-color illustrations plus six uniquely designed clear plastic overlays, Illustrated Guide to the Tabernacle allows readers to "see inside" the Old Testament tabernacle in the Wilderness of Sinai to better understand the purpose of its important events and elaborate furnishings (Ark of the Covenant, Table of Showbread, etc.). This movable tent was the place where God met with His people and is important because it shows:

 God's desire to live among His people

 God's original design for the world

 God's plan to fix a broken creation

 Insight into Jesus' life, death, and resurrection

How the significance and symbolism of the tabernacle find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ
