A great book for children young and old

This book, and its companion volume, are great additions to anyone's library. Children are drawn to comic books, and it never hurts to encourage kids to read on their own. The stories are a bit simplified, but that's actually a plus. The stories stick to the main point, and anyone interested in the stories after reading this can go to a standard bible for further information. For those who do not "support" the bible, the stories are still captivating, filled with drama, heroes and villains, adventure and challenges. Parents may want to scan the books before letting their children read them so they can see what's inside, but these stories are harmless entertainment and the children may end up better people for reading them.

This is a great edition of a great book.

I bought this for my son for his 9th birthday and he was absolutely drawn into it. Above and beyond other attempts of depicting Biblical stories in comic book form, this one does it right. I don't know why, but even as an adult, I had a hard time putting it down.
