The art work is beautiful. The attention to detail makes the narratives come alive and it helps to make an engaging experience. I also like that its not just european looking characters only. Seing the stories come to life also highlights details that makes me keep my bible handy to verify what is being said and depicted. If your on the fence about the purchase, go for it.
I like the 6-volume illustrated Bible. I usually bought the 3-volume hardcover, but the 6-volume is so much easier to carry around and read on the go. Even though this illustrated Format is in comic form, the words stay close to the meaning of the Bible. It's pleasant to read and learn God's Word in a relatively short time. What a great idea to publish these works and make them available to the common man. It makes an excellent Christmas present.
Wow. Just wow. I thought I knew a lot about the Bible, but I am learning something new on practically every page. Not only am I learning a lot, it's incredibly entertaining and the artwork? Masterful and gorgeous. Each page comes alive. I highly recommend this book!
