This new Bible story book has special appeal for readers ages 7 to 12. The unique comic-style presentation provides an ideal introduction to the great stories and themes from the Bible. The perfect gift that will impact young hearts and minds for years to come, adults will enjoy the art as well. The unusually bright and vivid colors are a welcome contrast to the other comic-style Bible story books currently available.

3.0 out of 5 stars A not the comic book bible on Amazon.com, April 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Comic Book Bible (Paperback)

The Comic Book Bible is actually a, not the, comic book Bible. There are two other word ballon type comic book Bibles on Amazon.com. I have bought all three and had many children compare them. The Picture Bible by Iva Hoth is overwhelming the most popular artistic style with children, also the cheapest per page, and per word. The artistic style of The Comic Book Bible is preferred with some teenage girls and is cheaper if The Picture Bible is out of your range. You can get a good idea of the artistic style of this and the other comic Bibles by looking at the picture of the cover on Amazon.com. The Comic Book Bible is done in the style of humorous cartoons and is less realistic than others. While I suggest Hoth's you might also consider Heros of the Bible by Carolyn Larsen for teen and adult males. Tip, search for Heros of the Bible by author not title. Catholics may also like The Big Book of Martyrs, by John Wagner. One last point, comics have a powerful ability to grab an audience, children, teens, and adults. This makes them a great evangelical tool. If your children have reached the stage where they think picture bibles are to immature for them, but the real thing is to advanced a comic book Bible can be a very good buy.

This review is from: The Comic Book Bible (Paperback)

THe only thing I didn't like about it is that the quoted verses are in King James. Kids wouldn't read KJ text. Each page has about 4 dialogs and the top of each page has a KJ verse base on the dialogs on that page. Each story ends happily which I like. I like comics, and so I like this one. I didn't find any errors with this one doctrinaly.

Nice, basic book. Good for parents to read to their non-readers, and also good for early readers to read to themselves. Good starter Bible. If your kids are a tad older and can read well, I recommend the Picture Bible. It is an awesome, comprehensive product. It manages to show and tell all of the stories truthfully without being gruesome. We decided on the Picture Bible for our 6-9-yr-olds. It offers a whole lot more for not much more money on Amazon. If we had a 3-5-yr-old, though, this Comic Book Bible would be fun to read to them.
