The Tarot of the Most High: Reflections on the Bible, is a tarot card deck inspired by the Bible. It includes depictions of events from the Old Testament, New Testament, and the Apocrypha. Each card includes an image, a key word (describing the overall theme of the card), and a section containing relevant Bible verses - providing ample symbolism/themes for enhanced tarot readings. These are not cards with fluffy inspirational Bible verses on them, but like the Bible, contain mature content documenting the interaction between God and human-beings, and human's struggles with evil throughout history. You can learn from the sins, temptations, adversity, and struggles of Biblical characters, for your personal growth, and/or reflect on God's interaction with mankind in the past, present, and future. The images on the cards are recreations based on public domain images taken from The Bible And Its Story Taught by One Thousand Picture Lessons(1910), Die Bibel in Bildern(1872), and Dore Bible Gallery(1883); with artist such as Hans Burgkmair (1531), Albrecht Durer (1528),  Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1872), and Gustave Dore (1883). Many of these beautiful images might have been lost to obscurity, but were recreated here so that another generation can view their artwork and reflect on God's word.

Tarot Card decks consist of 78 cards divided into two sections and four suits. The two sections are the Major Arcana (Table One) and the Minor Arcana (Table Two). The Major Arcana is made up of 22 cards, labeled with Roman Numerals starting with zero and going up to 21. The Minor Arcana is similar to a standard deck of playing cards, but it includes four extra cards. Instead of cards numbered 1 through 10, Jack, Queen, King, the Minor Arcana has cards numbered 1 through 10, and then has a Page, Knight, Queen, and King.

In the Tarot of the Most High, the cards in the Major Arcana are associated with the Mysteries of God and His foreordained plan, and the cards in the Minor Arcana deal primarily with humanity's struggles against evil and mankind's interactions with God, evil, and other humans. Generally, the Major Arcana deals with spiritual concepts, and the Minor Arcana addresses more earthly ones. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits: Cups, Coins, Staffs, and Swords. Certain attributes are associated with each of the suits, but in order to avoid the topics being too narrowly focused, some leeway/flexibility was applied.

The cards in the Cups suit focus mainly on topics related to Destiny and sacrifice. They address topics such as faithfulness, martyrdom, and concepts such as death before dishonor. They explore the lives and integrity of people who placed their commitment to God above their own lives, and their trust in God's providence. The cards in the Cups suit deal with God's interactions with mankind, and humanity's trust and commitment to God.

The primary theme of the Swords suit is Adversity, and the cards deal with interactions between humans. Many of the cards in this suit depict King David's struggles in life, and can be used to help you understand how to get ahead in life while overcoming temptations and obstacles. Also included are the lives of people who were confronted with great wickedness/tragedies, and the need to balance one's priorities and/or responses in difficult situations.

The cards in the Staff suit are primarily associated with Discipline. You can think of a Staff as a Rod of Reproof although that verse (Proverbs 29:15) is not actually included in this deck. The Shepherd's Staff was used to both guide and discipline the sheep. This suit of the Minor Arcana deals with topics related to learning lessons, growing in knowledge, finding one's way in the world, and overcoming challenges in order to become successful.

The main theme of the cards in the Coins suit is Wisdom. This suit deals with situations where wisdom is put into practice, whereas the situations in the Staffs suit describe the trials through which wisdom is developed. Wisdom is associated with coins, because wisdom states, Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold (Proverbs 8:10), and Jesus stated, I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich (Revelations 3:8). This suit deals with how wisdom is applied, and how people's faith is tested (tired by fire) to determine their worthiness.

The cards in the Major Arcana are sometimes described as depictions of the Fool's Journey, and are said to portray his growth and voyage through life. In the Tarot of the Most High, the Major Arcana deals with understanding the Mysteries of God.
