Description: The English edition of Power Bible has been newly created using the expressions and vocabulary found in the English Bible commonly used in the United States. It transforms the many rich contents of the thick, often intimidating Bible into comic form, helping children approach it with familiarity and discover the countless pieces of wisdom it holds. Illustrated with the lively, dynamic art style of cartoonist Kim Shin-jung, known for Comic Maple Story, this series makes the Bible—once felt as solemn—easy and approachable for children. While faithfully preserving the full content of the Bible, the series replaces its solemnity with the cute, beloved characters children love, bringing out fun and emotional depth through the wisdom, wit, and cheerfulness these characters embody. Children can enjoy and experience the many lessons and truths of the Bible without feeling burdened. Volume 1: From Creation to the Story of Joseph — Genesis In the midst of deep darkness, God created the heavens and the earth, and lastly, created humankind. Feeling compassion for the loneliness of the first man, God created a wife for him. However, the first humans, Adam and Eve, failed to keep the one rule God had given them and were driven out of the Garden of Eden. Then came humanity's first murder, committed by Cain against his brother Abel; the righteous Noah, who built an ark to prepare for the great flood; Abraham, who became the ancestor of the nation of Israel; Isaac, who nearly became a sacrifice; Jacob, who wrestled with God; and Joseph, who eventually became prime minister of Egypt. Meet these wise figures from Genesis through thrilling, action-packed comic storytelling. 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 grew fearful of the thriving Israelite population and began to oppress them. Moses, raised by the hand of an Egyptian princess to escape this persecution, is called by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt and guide them to the Promised Land. Meet a God who shares human-like emotions, Moses who delivers God's will to a stubborn people, and the story of people blinded by immediate desires who continually fall into sin—alongside the astonishing miracles found in Exodus. Volume 3: The Promised Land — Joshua to 1 Samuel Joshua, who succeeds Moses as leader of the Israelites, faithfully carries out God's word and conquers the Promised Land of Canaan. Yet the Israelites once again betray God and fall under the rule of other nations. In response, God raises up judges to lead the people and once again reveals His miracles. The stories of the mighty Samson, the prophet Samuel, and Saul, the first king of Israel, continue in 'The Promised Land,' portraying the Israelites' obedience to God's word and their role in spreading it. Volume 4: David, the Great King of Israel — 1 Samuel to 2 Chronicles As Samuel searches for Israel's next king, he discovers that God's heart is set on an ordinary young shepherd boy named David. David serves Israel with great courage, but as he gains the people's adoration, King Saul comes to see him as a threat. The jealousy of Saul and the power struggles among the princes surrounding him ultimately conclude with David's unification of Israel. As Israel develops, struggles over the throne continue, but God strengthens the nation further by establishing Solomon as king after David. Volume 5: The Divided Kingdom — 1 Kings to 2 Chronicles The kingdom of Israel, inherited from David, reaches its golden age under Solomon. However, even Solomon, known as the wise king, grows arrogant as the nation flourishes and fails to properly keep God's commandments, leading to Israel's eventual division into the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. In 'Kings,' the miracles performed by the prophet Elijah and his disciple Elisha, along with the complex unfolding of prosperity under obedient kings and decline under disobedient ones, are vividly portrayed. Discover the rise and fall of Israel and Judah in an easier, more engaging way with Power Bible. Volume 6: Destruction and Promise — Ezra to Malachi (Completion of the Old Testament) After the fall of Israel, the people of Judah, who had endured long years of captivity, are permitted to return home and rebuild the Temple. Despite great opposition from many surrounding peoples, they succeed in completing the Second Temple, becoming God's people once again...
