Reader reviews for The Action Bible

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.56 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.56 / 5 (3527 total reviews)

Readers widely praised this comic-style retelling for its dynamic, detailed artwork and clear, chronological storytelling that engages children (including reluctant readers) and works as a teaching aid for families and churches. Many valued its accessible summaries, maps, and narrative flow from Old to New Testament, while noting it functions best as a supplement rather than a replacement for scripture. Critiques focused on theological liberties and added dialogue, a sanitized approach to mature themes, occasionally awkward lettering, a very brief treatment of Revelation, and some culturally European-leaning depictions (especially of angels). Overall, it’s seen as an entertaining, visually compelling gateway to the Bible with uneven depth and interpretation.

About the author

Sergio Cariello was born in Brazil in 1964 and started drawing as soon as could hold a pencil. At the age of five, he already knew that he wanted to be a cartoonist. And so did everyone else--he drew on church bulletins, napkins, and every surface within his reach. He currently resides in Holiday, Florida.

Sergio has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics. He attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art as well as the Word of Life Bible Institute in upstate New York.

In February, 2006, he was contacted by David C. Cook to gauge his interest in a new project; completely re-illustrating Cook's classic Picture Bible. What David C. Cook couldn't know is that Sergio had grown up in Brazil with a Portuguese translation of that very same Picture Bible. He was reading the Picture Bible before he learned to ride a bike! Even though he knew as a kid that he wanted to be a comic artist, he never would have dreamed that he would one day get to work on the Picture Bible itself!
