Frustrating
Have to agree with the review of The Ace of Knaves,but can only give this clumsy effort one star. That Kindle does not even list a category as PHILOSOPHY (but lots of trivial pop stuff such as "Teens" and "Romance" and "Sports and Outdoors")is indicative of the adolescent mentality which seems to dominate their editorial staff. That such a central philosophical work is ignored and mishandled is another sign that the ongoing effort to dumb down the American readership is still ongoing.
The Best in Picture Bibles
Excellent picture Bible! I have bought several of these Bibles for children. I like it's literal translation of the Word, the "Did You Know" sections, and especially the way the pictures display in clothing and custom the accuracy of Bible times.
Not just for kids!
This "comic-book" format is not just for the kids. We gave one of these books to a man in a nursing home, and he was delighted. By showing the clothing, homes, animals, and backgrounds, etc. we get a picture of life as it was in Bible times. The stories are true to Scripture. The book makes a thoughtful gift. We keep buying them and giving them away, now that our two sons are grown.
My kids love it
I found an old used copy of this Picture Bible years ago and gave it to my son. He absolutely loves it! He read it over and over and it started falling apart. He begged me to buy a new one. He is 13 and still loves to read it. He often reads it in bed before going to sleep and he will also take it with him to the Perpetual Adoration Chapel to read. Of course, it is not the only version of the Bible that he reads.This book is written like a graphic novel, so there are more pictures than there are words, and not every Bible story is represented, but it is nicely done and gets the stories across. It is a great introduction to getting your kids to read the Bible.
Picture Bible
This picture Bible is written in the comic strip method. It is true to the Bible and does not include any denomination's creed. I have bought several and given them mostly to children about 10 or older. It will be fine for younger children but I feel those above 10 will benefit very much.
Great and easy read for adults and children!
This book is suitable for everyone and is an easy access learning the biblical stories. It does include some things not found in the Bible but they add to the storytelling. Highly recommend, especially for children.
