Product Description
In the beginning, there was The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis. And it was good. Then Brendan Powell Smith created The Story of Christmas. And it was even better.Now, just in time for Passover and Easter celebrations, Smith bring us the story of The Ten Commandments. With verses from the book of Exodus and a series of elaborate LEGO® dioramas, this full-color volume chronicles the adventures of Moses—from the burning bush and the parting of the Red Sea to Mount Sinai and the Ark of the Covenant.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly excellent usage of Legos, March 3, 2006
If you haven't figured it out yet, this product is highly critical of Christianity. However, everything in it is essentially just stuff in the Bible, anyway, only depicted in Lego form (the fact that at least a few Christians take offense to it despite this is very telling...) I highly recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for a good laugh and has a problem with the religious fundamentalism in the US these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Creative Book that's Great for Kids and Adults, May 28, 2005
By Kathleen Mikulis (Millbrae, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is another great book by the creator of the wonderfully creative website, The Brick Testament. If you've read the previous Brick Testament books, or even if you haven't you will absolutely love this one. It's great for kids - bundle this book with a box of Lego for a great gift - as well as adults.

This book depicts many of the well known stories of the Bible involving Moses. These stories are great for kids; I have much fondness of my mother telling me her favorite Bible story as a child - Moses' mother and sister protect him by floating him in a reed basket on the Nile. Smith is obviously very imaginative in translating the Bible to Lego, and is even able to render effectively all ten plagues of Egypt. Frogs, beetles, locusts - you name it!

One of my favorite things about this book is extremely subtle. Moses ages from a baby to an old man in the course of this book. It's fun to go through the book and see how this occurs little by little in Lego - one step is just the addition of bushy old man eyebrows!

5.0 out of 5 stars hilarious..., May 11, 2006
By M. Ros (The Hague Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...but even funnier than the Reverents books are the reviewers who only rated his books one star. Those sad souls apparantly never read their bible. The funniest side of this whole Brick Testament series is the fact that the text is straight from the bible - no glossing over sex, violence and absurdity. Read it, laugh at it and laugh at yourself for thinking that the Bible is about peace, love and understanding. It is about sex, violence and suppression of women, slaves and anybody who does not belong to your little religious group. No wonder it's been such a bestseller...
