The beautiful illustrations in the book contribute to the emotional impact, as an appreciative reader notes: “It makes me feel as if I can almost hear them crying over a dead child (chapter 47) or that we know what Jesus was thinking when the woman with a flow of blood touched him and was healed (chapter 46).
Raamatu kaunid illustratsioonid aitavad kaasa tugeva emotsionaalse mulje tekkimisele, nagu üks hindav lugeja märgib: „Ma otsekui kuulen neid surnud lapse pärast nutmas (47. peatükk) või me otsekui teaksime, mida Jeesus mõtles, kui veritõbe põdev naine teda puudutas ja terveks sai (46. peatükk).
