Notes From Your Bookseller

A fantastic read for the religious and non. This captivating version of the Bible is written as a graphic novel, and it is packed with exactly what the title suggests—action. This is a great complement to anyone who already has tons of Bibles, as well as any comic or graphic novel aficionados looking for an unorthodox pick.

The Action Bible presents more than 230 fast-paced narratives in chronological order, making it easy to follow the Bible’s historical flow and building up to the thrilling climax of God’s redemptive story.
 
Plus, these spectacular updates take the action to a whole new level:
 
  • 25 new stories showcase a more extensive exploration of God’s work in our lives.
  • 23 expanded stories highlight additional experiences of the people who tell God’s story.
  • 128 new pages of illustrations deliver a richer artistic experience with more close-up faces, historical details, and dramatic colors.
 
Every page sparks excitement to explore God’s Word and know Him personally. Readers will witness God’s active presence in the world through stories from the life of Jesus and great heroes of the faith.
 
Let this blend of powerful imagery and clear storytelling capture your imagination and instill the truth that invites you to discover your own adventure of life with God.
 
Sergio Cariello’s illustrations for The Action Bible leap off the page with the same thrilling energy that earned him international recognition for his work with Marvel Comics and DC Comics.

About the Author

Born in Brazil, Sergio Cariello spent many childhood hours poring over The Picture Bible (Portuguese edition), never dreaming that decades later he would illustrate the updated edition of The Action Bible. Sergio has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, and has illustrated Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, and dozens more characters. He loves to fly drones and attend comic book conventions to stay connected with his peers and fans, but he especially enjoys telling people about Jesus through his illustrations and teaching God's Word when he travels.

THE ACTION BIBLE GOD'S REDEMPTIVE STORY

CHAPTER 1

In the Beginning


THERE WAS NOTHING.

EXCEPT GOD.


Day 2

THEN GOD SEPARATED THE WATERS OF THE NOTHINGNESS INTO THE MOISTURE AND CLOUDS OF THE SKY ABOVE, AND THE DROPS AND WAVES OF THE OCEAN BELOW. GOD NAMED THE SKY "HEAVENS."


Day 3

GOD NAMED THE LOWER WATERS THE "SEA." HE GATHERED TOGETHER THE WATERS OF THE SEA, EXPOSING DRY GROUND. HE NAMED THE DRY LAND "EARTH." ON THIS LAND, HE MADE GRASS AND FLOWERS AND TREES. HE MADE THEM WITH SEEDS SO THEY COULD GROW MORE GRASS AND FLOWERS AND TREES. THE FRUITFUL EARTH WAS A PLACE OF BEAUTY.

AND GOD KNEW THAT IT WAS GOOD.


Day 4

THEN GOD FASHIONED THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS TO LIGHT THE EARTH. AND HE SET THEM IN THE HEAVENS TO MARK THE DAYS, SEASONS AND YEARS.


Day 5

GOD SAID, "LET THE WATER BE FILLED WITH LIVING CREATURES!" AND THE SEAS AND RIVERS SWARMED WITH WHALES AND FISH.

GOD SAID, "LET BIRDS FLY THROUGH THE SKY." AND THE OPEN SKY ABOVE THE EARTH WAS FILLED WITH EVERY KIND OF FLYING BIRD.

"BE FRUITFUL AND FILL THE EARTH," GOD SAID AS HE BLESSED THE LIVING CREATURES OF THE SEA AND SKY.

AND GOD KNEW THAT IT WAS GOOD.
