While I did learn a few things from this book, I can't really say that I enjoyed it. Aside from grating against my non-Christian sensitivities, the book is kind of sloppy in its editing... which is going to bother me no matter what the subject matter.
I debated whether to tag this as non-fiction or not, but finally decided in favour of it simply because the book heavily references the Bible. Whether any of the stories in it are true is beyond the scope of this review. This is a book that will likely only appeal to Christians, anyway, but I want to address a few things that I noticed while I was reading.
The first thing is the editing. The way the text is written isn't very consistent. The spelling of names could change within the same page, comma conventions for large numbers aren't consistently followed, and BC dates aren't always noted as such. I wasn't about to go and check each and every Bible reference, either, so there may be even more mistakes that I'm not aware of. I really hate to see such sloppy work, especially in a book for kids.
Tied into this first point are the outright errors. Some of these may be confusing. The book tries to throw in a little bit of science while talking about stars. Unfortunately, it gets things spectacularly wrong by stating:
This was probably supposed to be "solar system" rather than "galaxy", and any sharp-eyed reader is going to spot errors like this pretty quickly. So why didn't the editors? There are other things that are just plain wrong or confusing, like the reference to "jolly old St. Nicholas", referring to the historical figure... but who's pictured as Santa Claus, complete with red coat and hat. The book also claims that the Red Sea is a mistranslation of the Reed Sea... but when I looked it up, all I could find were old names in various languages all making reference to the colour red, possibly because of a particular reddish cyanobacteria that blooms in the waters there.
I was fairly engaged until about the halfway point, and that's where some pretty big leaps in logic start to make their appearance. We read about poor Uzziah who got a skin disease that deformed his face. Today, we know that that sort of thing just happens sometimes. But this book ignores anything scientific and attributes his affliction to God being miffed because he lit some incense. The section on hell is pretty horrifying (at least to a non-Christian; I can't understand why anyone who claims to be loving would want to bombard their children with such terrible thoughts and make them afraid they haven't done enough to escape a dismal fate). The section that tries to describe the Trinity just confused me. I'm not even sure the book knows what it's trying to say!
Circular logic and downright contradictions mar what could've been an interesting exploration of the Bible. Rather than simply explaining what the Bible says, this book interprets quite a bit of it, and sometimes it's a bit of a stretch. At one point, it talks about how a belief in witchcraft is a bad thing... and then, shortly after, it talks about how the Israelites saved themselves from the 10th plague by smearing lambs' blood on their doorposts in what appears to be some sort of magic ritual. So... which is it? At another point in the book, Samson is depicted as a not-so-bad guy... but he's later referred to as "the really bad" because he was tricked by Delilah. Way to blame the victim.
I wouldn't recommend this book in general, and because of the sloppiness, I wouldn't recommend it to Christians, either. It was an okay idea to do this in an infographic form to make the information easily digestible... but I still don't see why there are Bible characters running around with cellphones and pepperoni pizza.

This is a fun and informative book for kids concerning the Bible published by Harvest House Publishers. I went through this book together with my kids at night and they enjoyed the pictures, graph and facts. The details include truths that are more like “fun facts” but at times there were some very good instruction concerning more weighty matters that was extremely helpful. The artwork is well done and really reinforce the content being taught. After reading this volume I’m considering getting volume 1 which is my vote of approval for this book.
The subtitle of the book reveals some of the contents covered in this book: Light and Dark, Heroes and Villains, and Mind-Blowing Bible Facts. In addition there’s also “Wonders of the Biblical world,” “Epic Battles of the Bible” and “Biblical Landmarks.” My favorite sections of the book was the discussion and infographics on the Trinity and Jesus’ incarnation. It was very biblical and also covered common pitfalls of analogies people try to use to describe the Trinity. Yet it did it in a manner that was easy (as much as possible) for kids to understand while being biblically solid. The proof of the humanity and divinity of Christ was also well laid out. I must also give props to the writers for covering also the topic of heaven and hell. Sometimes it seems kids book can be quite shallow in terms of being faithful to the Word of God so for a kids book to actually handle the topic of hell faithfully while also being conscious that kids are reading this book that is no small feat to pull off. Kudos to the publishers, writers and illustrator! Also I am glad that the book does share the Gospel as well.
Kids will enjoy the pictures and graphics. As a pastor I approve of the biblical content in being faithful to Scripture, historically accurate and accessible for any parents as a general reading audience to read and explain to their kids. Well done, and I hope there’s a future third volume in this series.

'Bible Infographics for Kids Volume 2: Light and Dark, Heroes and Villains, and Mind-Blowing Bible Facts' by Harvest House Publishers is a book for young readers with a fun, different way to learn the Bible.
Filled with opposites like Heroes and Villains, Rising Empires and Fallen Kingdoms, and Light and Dark, this book shows these differences and where they can be found within the Bible. There are also lots of facts and kid-friendly illustrations.
I enjoyed looking through this book and I liked the organization of categories. The illustrations are also a lot of fun
I received a review copy of this ebook from Harvest House Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

A good follow up to volume one. A good book to help kids (and adults) understand more of the bible. Full of interesting information and colorful graphics, this is a great resource to help kids. I recommend it.

What a fun book! This would be great as a Communion gift or in a Sunday School classroom.

Bible Infographics for Kids Volume 2 by Harvest House Publishers is wonderful with a wealth of information for children and their parents. Written in style that has lots of illustrations, drawings and small bites of information it was a crowd pleaser at my house. I ask my grandchildren to look at the digital copy that I had received, they wanted to start right in with the heroes and villains.
The reading level was such that the second grader could read most of the text on his own while the first grader needed much of it read to her. Even the ones who are not reading yet found the bright illustrations interesting, asking me to read the text. This volume deals with opposites in the Bible such as light and darkness or heaven and hell. It also covers the judges of Israel and the kings before moving to the Trinity. All of these “mind-blowing facts” are based on scripture. It is perfect for the family that wants to learn more about the truths of the Bible.
I was not familiar with Bible Infographics for Kids until this digital review copy was available. These are the kinds of books that will be looked at and read many, many times. I highly recommend the hardback copy.
The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.

This was an interesting look at some key opposites found in the Bible. With short pieces of text and fun illustrations I can think of a number of children who would appreciate this book. As well as some key verses written out, there are references for further reading in the Bible.
I particularly liked how some of the characters featured in the book were compared to themselves at different points in their lives. I had never really considered how different Moses was at key points in his life until I saw them Side by side.
I loved the easy to digest facts about the heroes, villains and landmarks of the Bible. The limited number of words did not take away from the content, though at times I did have to internet search some of the American comparisons, and did not require children to be ‘big readers’ to access the text.
The comparisons of the Gospels were interesting and showed who each book was written by and for, but also how much of each book was represented in other books.
This book gives readers the opportunity to discover parts of the Bible in a new and pictorial way. There are timelines, Top Trumps style cards, maps and charts that give a whole wealth of information in a simple and engaging way, The bright colours quickly grab attention and engage the reader,
I am very grateful to the publishers for an advance electronic copy of this book for the purpose of reviewing. All opinions are my own.

This fact-filled library find was a great addition to our Bible study time. This book features to compare and contrast popular biblical discussions. Angels, Demons, Heaven, Hell, Kings of Israel, and other topics are covered. As with the first, Bible story timelines, graphics, and scripture references are placed on every page. Based on some of the information provided, (Hades for example) the scripture information should always be read in KJV. This was mainly used with my older students but the younger ones liked the graphics. If you have the first book, this would be a good addition for a home library, church library, or youth Sunday School class. We recommend for ages 9 and up.

What a gem! While it is hard to get the full experience, if you will, being an ecopy (thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy to review...quite a bit late, sorry), I really appreciated this volume of infographics for kids. Almost read like bible trivia, and especially after seeing the Ark, my kids ask all sorts of questions about the details of scripture, which is such a joy as a parent. Thank you for sharing truth in a package that's easy and even fun to digest for children. This book is something we will get as a paperback copy to further explore because it's right up my kids alley. They are 3 & 5, its never too early!

Really enjoyed this book of Bible infographics. The illustrations and format are engaging and facts and information are so well presented. A lot of it reminded me of a really really good powerpoint, where your eyes are fixed on what you see and the tidbits of information are just enough for you to understand the point presented.
March 5, 2019
Some spreads are hits, others misses, overall it's okay.
April 30, 2019
Informative and kids will enjoy it and probably manage to check out the bible for themselves and learn a few things they didn't know before. So when you gt a chance pick up a copy and enjoy.

This book is very strange. Bought for public library J261.

Lots of fun information and comparisons including a chart of the kings of Israel and Judah.

A lot of fun facts at your fingertips on various biblical topics. Who knew Solomon's wealth would be worth about $2.2 trillion today, ahead of Jeff Bezos at $130 billion.

I really just scanned this, but I think I will get it again when I can really go through it.
I got back to this... Some of the information is understood differently in my religion. It is still a great resource.

A fun way for kids to learn more about the Bible with short interesting facts. With it's bright and colorful pages a child's interest should be held longer.

If you've got a kid who absolutely loves facts and figures and you want them to get excited about God's Word, then Bible Infographics for Kids Volume 2 will surely bring delight to their face. This volume focuses on opposities like light and darkness, as well as wonders of the biblical world, epic battles of the Bible, heroes and villains, feats of God and failures of men, biblical landmarks, empires of man vs. the kingdom of God, angels and demons, and so much more. Presented in a fun and graphic way, kids eyes are drawn in and they almost don't realize they're learning more about God and His amazing Word. This is the perfect treat for your nonfiction buff. I highly recommend it.

Such a great collection of facts/info from the Bible! It's written with kids in mind and is sure to help answer any questions you amy have!

I unfortunately couldn't view the graphics of this book, making an accurate review difficult. However - I think the information of this book is accurate, age appropriate and engaging for kids! I would buy and recommend.
April 13, 2019
I love the simple facts of the book and it’s explanations. The illustration could have been better, a little more attractive. Same pages have big pictures and little information, this could be hard to read and children could pass the page without noticing it.
The overall idea of the book is great.
