With the lively artwork of cartoonist Kim Shin-jung, creator of Comic MapleStory, the Bible—once felt to be solemn—becomes easy and approachable. While faithfully preserving the full content of Scripture, the book replaces solemnity with characters transformed into the cute figures children love, drawing out fun and emotional impact through the wisdom, wit, and cheerfulness they embody. Children can enjoy and experience the many lessons and truths of the Bible without pressure. Volume 1: From Creation to the Story of Joseph — Genesis Out of deep darkness, God created the heavens and the earth, and lastly, humankind. Feeling for the loneliness of the first human, He created a wife for him. But the first humans, Adam and Eve, failed to keep the one rule God had set, and were driven out of the Garden of Eden. Then comes the story of Cain, who committed humanity's first murder, and the slain Abel; Noah, the righteous man who built an ark to survive the great flood; Abraham, the forefather of the nation of Israel; Isaac, who nearly became a sacrifice; Jacob, who wrestled with God; and Joseph, who became prime minister of Egypt. Meet the wise figures of Genesis in thrilling comic form. Volume 2: Moses, Leader of the Israelites — Exodus to Deuteronomy Long after the Israelites settled in Egypt, a new Pharaoh who did not know Joseph came to fear the thriving Israelite people and began to persecute them. Moses, raised by an Egyptian princess after escaping this persecution, is called by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage and into the Promised Land. Meet a God who shares human-like emotions, Moses who conveys God's will to a foolish people, and people blinded by immediate desires who fall repeatedly into sin—alongside the astonishing miracles of Exodus. Volume 3: The Promised Land — Joshua to 1 Samuel Joshua, who succeeds Moses as leader of Israel, faithfully carries out God's word and conquers the Promised Land of Canaan. But the Israelites betray God once again and fall under the rule of other nations. In response, God raises up judges to lead His people and once more reveal His miracles. The stories of Samson the mighty, Samuel the prophet, and Saul, Israel's first king, continue the tale of a people who obey and proclaim God's word—even in the Promised Land. Volume 4: David, the Great King of Israel — 1 Samuel to 2 Chronicles Searching for Israel's next king, Samuel discovers that God's heart lies with an ordinary boy named David. David serves Israel with great courage, but his popularity among the people becomes a thorn in Saul's side. The jealousy of Saul and the power struggles among the princes surrounding him ultimately end with David's unification of Israel. As Israel grows, the struggle over the throne continues, but God strengthens Israel further by establishing Solomon as king after David. Volume 5: The Divided Kingdom — 1 Kings to 2 Chronicles The kingdom of Israel, passed down from David, reaches its golden age under Solomon. But even Solomon, known as the wise king, grows arrogant as the nation flourishes and fails to keep God's word, leading Israel to eventually split into the Northern Kingdom of Israel and Judah. In Kings, the miracles shown through the prophet Elijah and his disciple Elisha unfold alongside the complex history of prosperity under kings obedient to God's word and decline under those who are not. Discover the rise and fall of Israel and Judah more easily and enjoyably through Power Bible. Volume 6: Downfall and Promise — Ezra to Malachi (Completing the Old Testament) After the fall of Israel, the people of Judah, having endured long years of exile, are permitted to return home and rebuild the Temple. Despite much opposition from surrounding peoples, they complete the Second Temple, becoming God's people once more...
