Gorgeous, vivid artwork with a vintage feel to it. My kids love comics so I knew this would be a great way to get them excited about reading the Bible. I received an arc copy and immediately my kids jumped into it and couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to get a physical copy for our bookshelf.

Thank you for the arc, NetGalley!

Having an autistic child, this bible will be perfect for him. He's nto a fan of reading but he's starting to like comic form. The pictures were attention grabbing. I found it easy to maneuver through. I even let him look through this and found him stopping and reading sections. That's a big win in this house. It looks to be big but worth it. The set up is done very well. it's really worth the investment.

I love the Picture Bible! The stories and verses are accurate and the pictures and visuals helped me understand the stories. I also found it hard to put down! I kept wanting to read the comics and before I knew it, I had read almost half! Definitely a must read!

I was given an ARC from the author - all thoughts are my own!

This is an amazing version. The artwork is stunning and it’s very easy to read for a young person. I would recommend starting at age 6 and up into teens into adulthood. It reads like a graphic novel or comic book. It’s very easy to engage in each story.

I really liked this. I am a visual girly, so this was the perfect tool for me. It’s doesn’t go into full detail, a Bible is still needed, but it’s good enough to understand. I love this art style especially because it reminds me of the super hero comics. This isn’t the full Bible, I imagine there will be more part of it coming soon.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this e-ARC.
