Overview

Experience the Gospels in a whole new way.

Manga (pronounced “mahn-ga”) is the Japanese word for comics, and it’s one of the fastest growing genres in America. Appealing to kids, tweens, teens, and adults, readers will find this edgy rendition of the Gospel accounts both compelling and highly engaging. This authentic, cutting-edge art style is combined with fast-paced storytelling to deliver biblical truths to fans of graphic novels and comic books. This is genuine Japanese manga style, unlike other Christian “manga” books in the marketplace.

Combining sound biblical teaching with action-packed illustrations, Manga Messiah features:

• A unique, synthesized presentation of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John for a complete story of Jesus’ ministry
• A map of Galilee, Samaria, and Judea so readers can keep track of important locations
• Illustrated character profiles of key Bible people
• An illustrated page on the twelve apostles for easy reference

A great way to introduce anyone to the Bible, this book delivers a gritty, dynamic take on Jesus’ life without compromising on accuracy.

AND HIS KINGDOM WILL NEVER END !!!

I AM A VIRGIN !!!

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME TO YOU ... THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD WILL COVER YOU!

THE HOLY ONE BORN TO YOU WILL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD!

I ALSO HAVE NEWS ABOUT YOUR RELATIVE ELIZABETH, MIRYAM ...
