Reading bible in comics format (pictures) helps me to have a deeper impression of the characters and events. One thing to note: When I zoom in to read the text in the picture, the text is a little blurry compared with the Amazon Kindle ebook. (I am using Samsung Tablet) If people notice this, they will DEFINITELY buy the book from AMAZON as the price is almost the same!

They missed the best stories. They missed Lot sleeping with his two daughters. Jesus building a flail himself and beating the money changers with it. Two she bears killing 24 kids because they made fun of a bald prophet. 2nd Timothy were it says women can't speak in church. Also the discussions on how to buy and sell slaves.

Anyone having issues with DOWNLOADING an ePUB version? It doesn't give me the option. While I own 2 other books the New Testament and Easter Story i was able to download these as ePUB versions.

About the author

Sergio Cariello was born in Brazil in 1964 and started drawing as soon as could hold a pencil. At the age of five, he already knew that he wanted to be a cartoonist. And so did everyone else--he drew on church bulletins, napkins, and every surface within his reach. He currently resides in Holiday, Florida.

Sergio has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics. He attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art as well as the Word of Life Bible Institute in upstate New York.

In February, 2006, he was contacted by David C. Cook to gauge his interest in a new project; completely re-illustrating Cook's classic Picture Bible. What David C. Cook couldn't know is that Sergio had grown up in Brazil with a Portuguese translation of that very same Picture Bible. He was reading the Picture Bible before he learned to ride a bike! Even though he knew as a kid that he wanted to be a comic artist, he never would have dreamed that he would one day get to work on the Picture Bible itself!
