It’s the most shoplifted book in the world, and, according to the Bible Society, between 1816 and 1975 almost 2.5 billion copies were printed and sold.

The Bible has been translated into hundreds of different languages and remains the best selling book of all time. But while there have been tabloid and cartoon versions, there’s never been anything quite like The Action Bible.

Published on October 18 by Kingsway and David C Cook, The Action Bible is a remarkable presentation of 215 fast-paced Biblical narratives relayed in chronological order.

Illustrator Sergio Cariello guides the reader with incredible skill and great ranges of passion, making it easier to follow the Bible’s historical flow, building to a powerful crescendo that strengthens even the oldest of faiths.

The stories in The Action Bible communicate clearly and forcefully to contemporary readers, and the compelling blend of clear writing with dramatic images offers an appeal that crosses all age boundaries.

Internationally recognised artist Sergio Cariello has created attention-holding illustrations marked by rich colouring, dramatic shading and lighting, bold and energetic designs, and emotionally charged figures.

Doug Mauss, David C Cook’s General Editor is full of praise for the project: “Let this epic rendition draw you into all the excitement of the world’s most awesome story.”

With a great video trailer available as well, The Action Bible is already making a significant impact.
