Book Synopsis

Step into the Bible like never before! From epic miracles and daring escapes to unforgettable people and powerful moments, Bible Comics brings the Bible's most memorable stories to life in this new graphic novel series

Walk the dusty roads of ancient history, experience the wonder of miracles, and meet ordinary people who find themselves part of extraordinary stories. With lively artwork and an accessible, emotionally engaging approach, these graphic novels make the stories of the Bible exciting, relatable, and easy for kids to explore.

In this first volume, travel back to Bethlehem for the first Christmas and meet Joseph, an ordinary carpenter whose life changes forever when he becomes the earthly father of a miraculous baby. How can an ordinary guy possibly be ready to raise the Son of God? As Joseph wrestles with his fears and worries about becoming a father, a dangerous threat is closing in. When King Herod learns about the child's birth, Joseph must find the courage to protect his family--and lead them on a desperate nighttime escape.

Includes a bonus story about David, the young shepherd who will one day become king!
