Synopsis

The Ultimate Superhero Graphic Novel!! In the beginning... Before the first man was created, before the earth, the sun, the stars, even before light and time were created, there was God. He alone existed without beginning, but he was not alone. He communed with himself in harmonious love. But god wanted to share his life. He wanted friends and neighbors. The Bible tells us God created numerous kinds of angelic beings to offer praise around his throne. But this is not their story. This is the story of God working with mankind.

You will not find the story of David and Goliath or Daniel in the Lions’ den. It is impossible to cover the entire Bible in just 330 pages. But the stories are not arbitrarily chosen. This is a chronological presentation of the Bible message, providing just that Old Testament background that is pertinent to one’s understanding of who Jehovah God is and of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sacrifice, war, temptation, betrayal, hope, and redemption all a part of Bible is honestly and vividly presented in the popular graphic novel format (Watchmen, The Dark Knight).

The critically acclaimed Good and Evil (Independent Publishers 2009 Bronze Medal Winner in the Graphic Novel/Drama category and 2009 Forward Book Award Finalist) truly is ldquo;the ultimate superhero” graphic novel and is making a huge impact worldwide. Written by author Michael Pearl (By Divine Design, Holy Sex, Eight Kingdoms) and illustrated by former Marvel Comics artist Danny Bulanadi (Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Micronauts) < Good & Evilis a truly unique Bible presntation. It is now being translated and distributed in dozens of languages, both in print and online, with dozens more translations in progress.

She married her life mate, Michael Pearl, in 1971.

Review

This book is so readable and yet accurate to the majority text of the Authorized King James Bible as it could possibly be. Very pure in it's intentions and very honestly written so as to only portray what the scripture says. NOT what man says, as so many other bibles in this format have done. We had some other comic type bibles and we have replaced them with this. I am very impressed with the artwork and the integrity of the publishers at No greater joy ministries. A plus plus!! We got our children their own copies and they read them every day without suggestion. Highly recommended!! Worth every cent. --Amazon Verified Purchase

This is not a watered-down kids story book. This is a strong, Biblical presentation of chronological Truth from God's Word. It is great for kids, teens, and adults, and available in many languages. Awesome ministry tool. --Amazon Verified Purchase

The Pearls did a wonderful job on this book. We bought the original black & white version and our children read it many times before it finally fell apart. Since the black & white is no longer available, I purchased the color version. It has the same content that we love. It tells the chronological account of creation to the end times. We all enjoy reading it! My first choice is still the black & white. --Amazon Verified Purchase
