On two previous occasions, I have blogged on Manga Messiah and Manga Metamorphosis. Those books cover the Gospels and the Acts and Epistles respectively.
I was at the Rock Gifts & Bookstore a couple of weeks ago and noticed that a third book -- Manga Mutiny -- has just been released. This book covers the books of Genesis and Exodus.
There is a saying that a "picture speaks a thousand words".
This is so true of the following events that took place in history.
(1) Abraham taking Isaac (his son, his only son, the son that he loved), up onto t
he mountain to be sacrificed (Gen 22).Notice Isaac's reaction when Abraham starts to tie him up
(2) Rebekah swooning and falling off her camel when she first saw how handsome Isaac was
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. (Gen 24:64 KJV)
--- yes, that is what happened! The original Hebrew for "lighted" is naphal נפל (H5307), which means to "fall".
(3) Jacob waking up and exclaiming in shock when he finds that it was Leah
Morning came: There was Leah in the marriage bed! (Gen 29:25 MSG)
(4) Benjamin being given five times as much
When portions were served to them from Joseph's table, Benjamin's portion was five times as much as anyone else's. So they feasted and drank freely with him. (Gen 43:34 NASB)

Highly-recommended reading, just like the 2 other comic books :-)
