Packed with almost 200 stories from Scripture, and featuring a special focus on the heroes of the Bible, "BibleForce" brings God's word to life in a truly unique manner. Starting with Genesis and continuing all the way to Revelation, the book highlights some of the most important and compelling events from Scripture, culminating with Jesus' ultimate sacrifice and his resurrection as the foundation of our faith and of course ending with scenes of Heaven! The book is written as a graphic picture Bible, similar to a comic strip, sure to appeal to readers from ages 6 onward!
As a parent, I am absolutely enthused to encounter BibleForce, because it is perfect for the younger reader who just isn't ready for the full version of the Bible because the language is sometimes beyond them. My son has loved pouring over this book, engaging with the pictures and the text more than I expected him to, day after day! We have been taking turns reading the book out loud, and it has been a wonderful way not only to work on his reading skills but to learn the overarching story of the Bible at the same time. The illustrations are simply fantastic and filled with life, and they add a whole other dimension to what is being read. While of course this book will never replace reading the actual scriptures, the authors have taken great care to focus on the important elements of each story and ultimately point readers to truth.
Both my son and I highly recommend this exciting book and award it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I am really impressed with this book! It’s marketed towards kids but I think teenagers and adults would also love it. Graphic novels are very popular right now and what’s better than a graphic novel Bible?
I am a very visual person and I find that seeing a picture with a story really helps me remember more and envision the story more. The illustrations in this book are very colorful and detailed. I really like how the people are depicted, especially Jesus…He is depicted in the way I’ve always seen Him in my mind’s eye.
The book starts with a great introduction to the Bible and a visual timeline of “what happened when”. The stories are then told from Genesis to Revelation, with a title for the story and a scripture reference for each story. There are also many hero profiles that dig deeper into the heroes of the Bible (Moses, David, Samson, Jesus).
The book itself is hardcover (and very heavy) with a ribbon bookmark, which I love.
This book would be an excellent gift for a new believer or young Christian but I feel that it should only be used as a supplemental resource as it’s not the complete word of God. That being said, it is amazing when taken for what it is!
I highly recommend this to anyone!

So we got this and first, it is much larger than I expected. And my kids love it because it is formatted like a HUGE comic book which retains the interest of my comic book loving daughter.
While it says its the First Heroes, it actually has the creation and the fall in there. The epistles are in there as well as revelation. But what I really love is that the Old Testament prophets are given their own stories and are treated as heroes of the Bible like David, Gideon, and Samson are. Joshua is given his own stories and so are the women of the Bible, Ruth and Esther. Even Samuel and Job have stories. And as a mom with many different children geared Bible books, this pleases me because oftentimes many of the "smaller characters" of the Bible are overlooked to emphasize the characters David and Samson and Daniel. There is A LOT on Jesus. But then they are also introduced to the Apostles and the book of Acts. They also learn about Paul. And there are MAPS. Maps are so much fun because then you can point out where events happened at in the Bible then correlate it to a modern map.

This review is meant for parents, teachers, and other people that work with children to read.
To me this is a storybook that describes different parts of Scripture. To start out with this "BIBLEFORCE: The First Heroes Bible" describes some important about the Bible including how the Bible books are broken out, maps about different topics, a timeline, and other important information regarding the Bible. It highlights different people in the Bible that it considers heroes and lists some important details about them before their story told about them from the Bible in storybook format. Each story has the Scripture it came from listed under the title of the story so if children want they can go read the Scriptures the stories came from for themselves or have it read to them.
I found this storybook Bible very interesting as an adult so I think children will like it so much more. The pictures were very colorful and I feel they will capture children's attention and bring them deeper into the Biblical stories. I sometimes looked up the Scriptures that the stories represented and they seemed to follow them very well. Sometimes I felt like they were condensed and fictionalized a little bit to help children and other people reading it to understand what might have happened if it was unknown in relation to Scripture, and that information had to have been unknown anyway since we don't really know what the people's clothes looked like or exactly what the people in the Bible looked like during those times either.
I also found that this storybook Bible focused on some books of the Bible more than others but I am glad it went in the order that most Bibles I have read go in. When it got to the New Testament I'm glad it spent a decent amount of time talking about Jesus (Yeshua). I found most of the stories to be common stories that are taught a lot in children's Bible school classes but occasionally ran across ones that I don't think are as common, like some of the stories about Paul from the book of Acts.
Some highlights for me were how one story described how the 12 stones of Israel came to be in Joshua 4 and when Jesus was asked when God would give the Kingdom back to Israel from Acts 1.

BibleForce is a Children’s Bible that features nearly 200 stories from Scripture in illustrated form. The vibrant full-color illustrations, dynamic action scenes, and portrayals of the characters bring the biblical stories to life. The focus on biblical heroes this a fun way to introduce major biblical characters. The chronological format lets readers track these characters’ stories and see how their stories connect to one another.
I like how this Bible opens with key information to help with understanding the stories. This information includes the types of books found in the Bible, a timeline of major events, and a map. Each section opens by introducing the hero focus for the stories in that section, facts about that hero, and key facts to know for that section. The book also comes with a built-in ribbon bookmark. These tools are helpful for providing the stories’ context and make it easy to find information.
The font is large and easy to read. The hardcover binding and thick glossy pages makes this Bible durable. I would be fine letting young readers handle this Bible (with adult supervision of course). With purchase, the book comes with access to a free audio app, which is good for read alongs.
Each story is short, told in abridged form. This ensures that young readers are not overwhelmed with information, but it does make it hard to track each hero’s journey from story to story. Though I’m familiar with many of the stories found in this Bible, I had a hard time positioning myself chronologically in the stories with which I was less familiar.
Overall, this is a great introductory Bible for young readers. I would read these stories to children who are just starting to learn their biblical heroes and not yet ready to learn about the more abstract themes found in the Bible. Because older readers will be familiar with many of these stories, it would also be appropriate to read together as a family.

I received a complimentary copy.
Indulge your little reader with the classic hero's of all time as they delve into the action and adventure of the Bible. With really nice illustrations and a quest that really any age can take on, this would be a great gift for anyone with faith based beliefs.

This is such a great book for young readers that are interested in Bible stories! My son absolutely devoured this! He really enjoyed reading stories he is familiar with and seeing them in an illustrated form! If you have a reader that enjoys graphic novels and Bible Stories, I highly recommend this!
I was provided a gifted copy of this book for free. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

There are some interpretive decisions made that I wouldn’t have, and framing all the characters as heroes is not my favorite, but this story Bible does a nice job capturing more of the details of the actual text of scripture than most while still being full of pictures that hold attention of little ones. Worth cycling back through with the kids at some point.

Yo digo que este libro es muy importante para mi Hero’s Journey, ya que ase que uno reflexione. Este libro impacto en mi vida de buena manera para vivir de una manera más placentera. Creo que cualquier persona debería leer este libro, talvez no completo pero a conciencia.

Excellent graphics. Really makes the stories come alive for kids. Set up like a comic book. Summarizes the stories of the Bible and writes them in modern language.

If you have a reluctant reader or are having trouble getting your child to read their Bible, BibleForce is the way to go!!
I wish I’d had this when my boys were younger, instead I had to rely on the Wimpy Kid books to lure them into read – & it worked but at a price. Now you have the advantage of inspiring your child’s imagination with factual information that will help their spiritual growth and let them have a great time too!
I loved how the graphics were eyecatching and the text simple. I didn’t need to worry whether the kids would understand or read each of the short stories, I knew they could, and that the little ones could remember and follow along even without being read to. Plus, there is something in BibleForce for all ages.

The book is about the bible being told in a way that students may understand better. The graphic novel helps reluctant readers. I wouldn't use this in a classroom but it can be a book for parents to buy for their children.
