The Picture Bible

This book is for those who are serious in showing their children the way of LIFE. My children went through 3 copies of it. Now my grandchildren are going through this book that brings the Bible alive. Children love reading it because it’s presented in a comic form. Before you know it, they’ve covered the whole Bible and are able to recount what they read. I as an adult even read it because I’m a visual learner. This is the book that got me to understand what prophet Ezekiel was on about! 🧐.

My grandson loves it easy too read and understand for younger children

Exellent book. This edition is for age range 8-14. This book avoids the need to have violent or unessasary dramatics to tell the stories briefly in comic format. It is a great tool even for a young teanager to remind the reader of the main stories in the bile and their sequence. Also to give pearents an oportunity to explain the purpose for some of the stories being in the bible.

I love this, I had a similar one in black and white, and years later found this in colour. My son loves it. It does not do all the stories, but a lot of them. More old testament than New; that bit is much shorter. We love the old one, cos its so BAD!! I love Ahab and Jezebel. My son asks for the 'old bit' when we read, he thinks that is the best bit. Definitely a book to start with, if you want to introduce the bible. But actually for pure enjoyment, not to be 'convertory!!' This book does it all. Shows the bible in glorious colour and shows truth without being heavy and pushy, but a really enjoyable way; which leads the readers to be totally engrossed and literally making friends with all the characters in the bible.

I like it so much. It reminds me exactly what I read when I was young. Thank you so much. It came on time. My youngest child loves it.

This Bible is very good for people of all ages. It helps to get a grip on the narrative of scripture without the weight of detail in an ordinary Bible. The flow of this version is simple and understandable and definitely prompts further study of biblical people and themes. Pictures are detailed and bright and the dialogue is engaging.

Lovely bibles which are light weight enough and small enough to hold in one hand whilst not being too small. Kind of like a bible in size. I only give 4 out of 5 because the scripture is not totally accurate (for instance the destruction of Sodom) but I believe this is done purposely for a younger audience age. I wont get into 'if this is right or wrong to change scripture,' but overall it is a way to read the bible with a different experience.

Very very good cartoon version of the Bible. Somebody should print these again, and the New Testament version too. Not only suitable for children, it's good for any age. It gives a good overview of the Bible.

Takes me back to my early childhood days. I am so happy to have been able to find this in new condition. When I was younger, it helped my reading skills to improve and broadened my imagination. With that it made me want to read it and stay with it continuously as a child. On that note, I learned and was able to recognize and know all the major stories in the Bible. It is such a great buy for any one of all ages, not only just parents with young children. Even though, it is in comic book format it holds interest, with that being said. It is the best bible I have ever had as this is my 3rd one in my lifetime from childhood to adulthood.

Dieses Buch darf man als Kunstwerk bezeichnen. Es ist ein sehr schwieriges Unterfangen, das Buch der Bücher zu einem "Comic" zu komprimieren. Es ist dem Illustrator wie auch dem Texter, wie ich finde, gut gelungen. Beide haben sich große Mühe gegeben. Jede einzelne Zeichnung zeugt nicht nur von viel Talent, sondern auch von Sorgfalt und Reflexion, was etwa Personen, Kleidung, Bauwerke und Landschaft angeht. Dem Texter ist es m.E. gelungen, den Stoff möglichst verlustfrei zu komprimieren. Leider ist ein solches Buch derzeit nicht auf Deutsch erhältlich. Es bietet jedoch eine gute Gelegenheit, Englisch zu lernen oder zu vertiefen. Ich habe einige Bibelausgaben, und diese ist eine ganz besondere. Ich kann allerdings keine gelehrte theologische Kritik dazu vorlegen. Das sei Anderen vorbehalten. Ich finde aber, dass diese Ausgabe auch Erwachsenen gefällig, erbaulich und unterhaltsam ist.

Questa Bibbia è molto colorata e mio figlio lo ha letto tutto. Ma gli dava fastidio che tutte le persone sono con la pelle chiara rendendola una versione poco accurata.

Like many who have purchased this book now, I first received the Paper Back edition of it as a child at age 9 as a gift from my mother. My older brother got a copy and my Mom's best friend bought one for her daughter at the same time as well. I remember as a 9 year old being absolutely glued to this book. I couldn't put it down as the comic book format made it so fun and easy to read. It was this book that gave me my first real insight into God and to the history of the bible and everything that has happened in it. This book is what I like to call "Child Friendly" and it re-words some of the more adult oriented scriputres that deal with Homosexuality and Sodomy and that sort of thing to make it more understanding for children who are reading it. While this book is a perfect and fun introductory to the Bible for children, I must also emphasize that it is very important that when a child is old enough to move up a level to a a regular Bible that they do so as soon as possible so that they can learn to connect and put into context the stories they read in the Picture Bible to those that are in the regular Bible. To this day I still own my original Paper Back edition of this book, but it has been read so many times that it is more or less falling apart. So when I saw that new editions have been printed in Hardcover I couldn't believe my eyes as I thought this book was lost to history. My local Christian Book and Music store couldn't even track it down and told me they had never heard of it before. I will most likely order several more coppies in order to preserve this excellent work and to have so I can pass them down to any younger Christian kids that I may meet.

Comprei por recomendação do Dr. Brant Pitre e estou gostando muito! (Procurem no YT pelo vídeo onde ele comenta sobre essa obra) Gostaria muito que relançassem em português também.
