He has illustrated dozens of Christian books and has created story illustrations for Outdoor Life, Doubleday, and Harpers. Since 1960s Robert Doares was working as a full-time commercial artist he had little time to create the works in the painstaking detail he felt each piece deserved. After retiring to Salisbury, he returned to the project in earnest. Of the 54 pieces, four are in oil, and the remaining 50 in graphite pencil on masonite panel. Doares had originally intended to paint the entire series, but he was afraid he would not live long enough to complete all the works. He estimated that he put about 400 hours of work into each drawing. Doares made several trips to the Holy Land and did an incredible amount of research and study of Middle Eastern history and archeology in order to get his details as accurate as possible. Doares had not planned to display or sell the series. He was doing it as a personal expression of faith. But when the series was exhibited at the Billy Graham Center in Wheaton, Ill., it was seen by the president of Crossway Books who convinced Doares to allow the series to be made into a book, "Immanuel, God With Us: The Life of Christ in Art." In his acknowledgements for the book, Doares wrote, "My precious and beloved Kay, who preferred that I devote my time to honor our Lord with my talent rather than to seek worldly success in fine art."
