This Bible will be a great inspiration to the right person! However, it is NOT appropriate for all ages. The graphics are VERY GRAPHIC, which would be great for those already into comic books; but for those who are not or for younger boys it may be disturbing: i.e.
When Jezebel is pushed from a high window, she is shown smashed on the ground with blood oozing out of her head; when the dogs walk away after eating her...there is nothing left but her gnarled hands in a big puddle of blood. At Lot's house, when the angels enter, the men yell out for them...one saying, "..send those men out so we can have sex with them."Great for the right person/too graphic for others!

The book in itself is great! The problem though is that the pages DO NOT fill up your ebook page so you are stuck with tiny page-like versions that are so small you cant even see the text. I tried to enlarge the text but that did little to help me so now I'm stuck with something I can't even read! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! So save yourself the heartache and just get the regular paperback.

Where is it in the book of Genesis that says "...On the sixth day with the evil ones watching..."? And why has the author given the angels of Heaven a half man-half beast apperence? This book is NOT good for anyone to get an idea of what is in the book of Genesis, certainly not little children. I would urge any parent to seriously consiter the content of this book before you present it to your children as the word of God.

A collection of super hero stories with top of the line graphics and with words that are easy to read for most young boys.

I gave this bible to individuals that are visual learners. The book is parallel to the actual bible so I felt comfortable in that respect. I've received great feedback.

The graphics are great! I love the way they added the scripture reference at the bottom of each page. This is a perfect starter bible for any new believer or any person that is intimidated by the bible. I will order more to give to everyone that has a need for the Word.

but not so much in durability. My kids (especially my 8yo son) love reading it, however, it really has not held up well. They haven't mistreated it, yet quite a few pages have come unglued and have fallen out. We replaced with the Action Bible, which seems to be much better constructed.

This is a wonderfully put together book full of the true Word of God. It has taught me that the Word comes in various forms and that all it takes is an open heart to receive it. I greatly appreciate the hard work and time that was spent creating this beautiful piece of literature and art. I highly recommend it to all who have ever perhaps felt intimidated by reading the King James version of The Bible.

Originally was looking for something to appeal to teen boys, after showing it to my friends at work we decided we all wanted one! It really explains things clearly such as the importance of Christ's blood sacrifice & resurrection from the beginning of time! I've been a Christian for 42 years, but have learned alot from this book! Excellent graphics! Excellent message! I'm ordering a bunch more!

Bought this for my 10 year old son, whose reading should I say was not his favorite hobby, he has not stopped reading since he received it. Thanks for this great tool to help my son love the Bible and the stories in it!~

My ten year old son devoured this Bible! I couldn't get him to stop reading in bed at night. I recommend this Bible for boys age ten and up. The illustrations are wonderful and the Bible stories are in a compelling format. Finally, a Bible that boys actually LOVE reading!

My teenage son loves reading comics. This book presents the Scripture using comic style writing that my son actually enjoys reading. This is a great tool for bringing the Word to young readers.

In my opinion, this might be a good book for highschoolers, but not for young children. The artwork is very well done but too many of the images are on the scary side for my 6 year old.

This bible is great way to keep kids and teens interested. The illustrations are really good and stories are told in a way that's understandable but not too light. The only downside is some vital stories are missing. It skips from the story of Abraham/Issac right to Moses. Other than the lineage that is shown on one page, there is no story of Jacob or Joseph. Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

One of my Bible Class pre teen boys brought this book with him everyweek along with his Bible. The graphics are powerful. The boys are are studying Genesis and doing a mural. The boys relate to the powerful images from this book, while the girls in the class do their mural with flowers, clouds and rainbows. This book has a special way of speaking to the masculine component of boys.

This is the best story Bible I've ever read. Quite a few things I never understood were clearly explained, such as why Cain's sacrifice was unacceptable. The illustrations are fabulous.
