I don't believe this book qualifies as reading the whole Bible, but I did read it all and it made the story of Christianty very simple, understanding and refreshing. God has a plan for all of us and Jesus is our Lord and Savior. It really is that simple.

I have two toddlers and they, not to mention myself love this rendition of the Bible. The visualizaions are very well illustrated and the author does a great job summerizing the chapters. I would recommend this bible for children of all ages as a story book not as a study or reference bible.

“The Action Bible: Faith in Action Edition” offers a dynamic and captivating way for children to engage with biblical stories. The unique comic book format, coupled with detailed illustrations and easy-to-follow narratives, creates an immersive and rewarding experience for young readers.

The colorful and lively illustrations not only complement the storytelling but also gives me a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of mail-in Bible studies I used to enjoy as a child. The comic book style visuals are effective at capturing kids’ attention and cultivating a love for Scripture.
I like how this Bible incorporates practical elements such as QR codes offering access to online content. These extra resources add a lot to the reading experience and encourage children to spend time reading and learning.
This is a great resource for children, particularly those who enjoy graphic novels and comics. Its combination of vibrant artwork, accessible narratives, and thematic organization is sure to help kids grow in their faith. Whether used for personal study, family devotions, or educational purposes, this Bible is sure to inspire and enlighten readers of all ages—not just those in the target market of 9-11 years old.

This Faith in Action Edition of The Action Bible is the perfect way to entice young readers to explore God's Word! The key word is GRAPHIC because eye-catching illustrations are the chief way of telling the story. Yes, there is text, but it is minimal, and actual Bible quotes are taken from the NIV
Why, as an adult, do I like this new Bible? I'm always eager to find faith-based reading for my granddaughter, so I was especially excited to find this new edition of the bestselling Action Bible from David C. Cook Publishing. The stories are told in chronological order, so I'm assured that she is getting God's amazing story of redemption, and there are even a couple of pages that show what happened between the Old and New Testaments. It also has a variety of Spiritual Growth Resources, including over 200 devotionals, prayers, character stories, timelines, maps, and Bible facts. Even more reasons to grab a copy!
If you have children or grandchildren who like graphic novels and enjoy playing games online, this is a great choice for them. If you want your children or grandchildren to have a safe online experience and still learn God's Word, this is the perfect choice for YOU! The Faith in Action Edition will help kids Engage in God's Word, Grow in God's Word, and Live in God's Word. It is truly the ultimate Bible for kids and teens!
