It’s difficult to say whether it’s more or less shocking to have these scenes portrayed in LEGO form; it makes it all seem safer somehow, but also more subversive, more disturbing. I feel these pangs of pity for them every spring when I watch The Ten Commandments, and I felt them more keenly as I read this book. Mothers are busy- this dreadful economy has made it harder for them to filter through all the garbage available on the bookshelves for their children. I loved every panel of this thing, and mad props to Brendan Powell Smith who has dedicated his life to making the Lego Bible come to life for us.

Her unique storytelling and illustrating style has been noted for its meticulous attention to detail, and its ability to walk a fine line between humor and poignancy. It's less graphic than what you're likely to see in the average "R" film, but it still was too mich for me, and many others are likely to feel the same way. Book one includes scenes from the Old Testament-the creation of the world, the temptation of Adam and Eve, the great flood, the presentation of the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. The man behind this creative endeavour is a self-proclaimed atheist who has an interest in the Bible.

There were eye-opening moments where I didn't remember particular things happening and had to check them in a real Bible (but found them true to God's Word). A couple of transparent red single tiles are nearby to indicate blood (there is a lot of blood in this book). If I had to recommend this fantastic book, I would recommend it to pastors, kids, and Lego fans that want to learn more about The Bible (the reason why you ask) because it is a fun way to learn about God. It's totally written with the actual passages of the bible and everything but done in a lego style which is actually pretty incredible.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. To explain that this is a thick graphic novel retelling the stories of the Bible's Old Testament cannot possibly do it justice. There were things in there that little kids aren’t really ready to learn and some stuff that is wacky and not in the King James version.

At least he didn't kill his whole family, his flocks, friends, and distant relatives also, which would've totally been in character for Yahweh at this point in time). Yet, they are in this book- a Trojan horse made to turn young children against their God and family.I've invested heavily in illustrated Bibles for children in my life, but I would never give this Bible to a child.

These books are definitely not meant for children, as they give literal interpretations for all verses in the Bible, some of which obviously include adult content. How can you make a battle between an army of angels and a galaxy-sized dragon with its own army of evil angels even more metal?The beauty of "The Brick Bible" is that everyone, from the devout to nonbelievers, will find something breathtaking, fascinating, or entertaining within this collection. It's the one where the Ark is being transported from hither to thither, an Ox stumbles, the Ark tilts to the side, and the greatest shlimazl of all time next to Job, Uzzah, puts his hand out to steady it. Not only was he not even a Jew, he was a Philistine, and God's just sitting around blessing him and his household, and probably thumbing his nose at David. Spurling's own commentary occasionally appears in illustrations and is displayed in gray text, and also as original titles for the stories themselves. For the first time, the Old Testament and the New Testament together in one inspiring LEGO collection!
