Growing up, Rick Osborne really liked Superman. Superman did what was right, he did cool things that other people couldn't do, and he never quit.

By telling these stories, Rick loves to help boys see the real-life superhero that God wants each of them to be. Rick lives with his family up north in Canada, closer to where Superman built his fortress.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting Stuff!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bible Heroes & Bad Guys (Paperback)
Despite a few mistakes as the previous reviewer mentioned, this book is absolutely amazing. My nine-year-old son has turned this book into a well-read, crinkled, well-loved book that he constantly reads and re-reads. Because of the addition of the verses inside, he's also turned to his Bible to continue reading more about each Hero or Bad Guy and to see what God has to say about these people. The language the authors use has enabled my son to relate to the book, to understand it, and to enjoy reading. I would recommend this to anyone (and already have!) who have boys (or even girls) who want a "cool" read while learning just how exciting the Bible really is!

Great appeal and solid truth for boys,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bible Heroes & Bad Guys (Paperback)
Part of the 2:52 collection (based on Luke 2:52), Bible Heroes & Bad Guys offers portraits of 31 characters from the Bible. Old and New Testament "guys" (though the book does feature both men and women of Scripture) receive the full treatment: the good, the bad, the ugly. Each section starts with a bulleted list of character highlights then progresses to a more detailed retelling of that person's story. The "Getting Deeper" section of each chapter offers practical applications for readers, including action steps kids can take to live the lessons learned from that person's life. Finally, a "Bible Supercharge" section provides a verse perfect of memorization.
The chapters are short, just four pages each. Readers will find illustrations, large and small, peppered throughout the text, usually every two to three pages. The illustrations feature unique perspectives, lots of action and heavy outlines, a style typical of comic books. Except for the cover, all are black and white. WHAT I LIKE: The series has tremendous appeal for boys! I gave this book to my nephew for his 8th birthday. Within a week he begged his mom to buy him the rest of the books in the series. He loves them! I like that this book is based on solid biblical teaching. References are frequently provided. The format and text makes the Bible interesting to young kids and reminds them of the adventures hidden within Scripture's pages. WHAT I DISLIKE: The book has a very trendy voice, as if one young kid is talking to another. This makes it more appealing to kids, but can be awkward for parents to read aloud. OVERALL RATING: Excellent. Tanya -- Christian Children's Book Review
