I grew up owning not one but two children’s Bibles. One of them still gives me nightmares because the pictures were so graphic. The Old Testament has some scary stories for a child, but the pictures made it worse. I recall, specifically, the picture of the flood. These were not cartoon character type pictures. Instead, it was a graphic, realistic scene including a mother in the water desperately holding up a screaming baby trying to reach the ark. Some people might think that showing the horror of a great flood that wipes out almost everyone drives the point home. Cool. I can probably find that book somewhere if you are interested. Maybe, however, a book more kid appropriate might drive more interest. When I saw this book, I thought, “Now that’s a neat idea, I’m going to see how things have changed in the Bible delivery to kids market over the years.”Admittedly, my religious views are complex. Something about the story of creation told brick by brick just seemed too good to pass up. Minecraft is in. I worked at the book fair at my daughter’s school, and kids were buying Minecraft books left and right. Although I do not really get the fanaticism about the game, I love that it leads kids to read. I imagine that a parent wanting to share Bible stories to their kids would appreciate that this book will encourage them to read on their own.This storybook (I am not going to use the word Bible because it is really just a series of major stories from the Bible rather than a Bible itself), begins with creation and ends with the day of Pentecost with plenty of stories in between. Each story is laid out sort of like a graphic novel with a Minecraft picture of the scene and brief text below it. Dialogue is handled through quote boxes.
