Only this is ALL of them in one binding with no "to be continued..." and no other filler stuff.

(I don't remember what all they used to put in them...crosswords and other fill in the blank games?)

This is a comic book, with nice drawings simply scripted. "For all ages", and "Endorsed by Catholics and Protestants".

I read "The Picture Bible" completely through when I was around twelve and enjoyed it, and I would recommend it to young adolescents, especially those who would find its comic-book/graphic novel style appealing.

Also, while generally the language of the text presented here is modernized (as of the 1970s), some reflects the King James Version. As I said previously, I would highly recommend it to young adolescents; however, I would only do so if there was ample opportunity to discuss some of "The Picture Bible's" shortcomings with the youth.… (more)
