NIV Manga Bible: The NIV Bible with 64 pages of Bible stories retold manga-style

Description

Graphic Artist Siku uses Manga to retell and illustrate the story of the Bible - from creation and Noah, exile and exodus, through judges and kings and prophets of old; on to the liberation that Jesus then brings to the world and the powerful movement that follows... With newly commissioned full-colour plates within the full NIV Bible text, this is a great way to refresh the way we look at Scripture and to encourage new readers to engage with the remarkable stories and message it holds. The New International Version is the world's most popular Bible in modern English and is known for its combination of accuracy and clarity of language. This Bible includes shortcuts to key people, events, miracles and stories in the Bible as well as reading plans and a list of Scriptures that offer help and guidance in life situations.

The New International Version is the world's most popular modern English Bible translation. Developed by Biblica, formerly the International Bible Society, the New International Version is the result of years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, overseeing the efforts of many contributing scholars. The translators are drawn from a wide range of denominations and from various countries and they continually review new research in order to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance and authority. www.hodderbibles.co.uk www.facebook.com/NIVBibles Siku describes himself as an artist, author, theologian and musician.
