Overview
This graphic novel presents every word, chapter and verse, from the biblical Book of Ruth within its historical, cultural and geographical context. The unabridged story is illustrated in a bold contemporary style but remains as faithful to the Old Testament scripture as possible. It is a tale of two widows trying to survive in ancient Israel and has a nuanced prophetic subtext all too often lost in children's picture books. Featuring the best selling English Bible translation, the NIV, with verse numbers at the bottom of each page. Presented with a matt laminated cover and high-quality, full-color, gloss paper interiors.

Reviews
"""One might argue that The Word for Word Bible Comic is actually a more authentic presentation of the Bible than our bare printed texts, which invite us to fill a visual vacuum by supplying pictures in our own imagination of people and events.""--Rev. Dr. Christopher R. Smith (Author of ""Understanding the Books of the Bible"") ""The series is not only a carefully researched and beautifully realised visualisation of the biblical world, but each volume acts as an exegetical commentary in its own right, offering perceptive readings on these important texts.""--Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Chair of Ancient History, Cardiff University Very interesting. As clear and readable a rendition of the bible as I have seen. Makes biblical teaching much more accessible to young and old alike.--John Wagner, Co-creator of Judge Dredd"

Author Information
Simon Amadeus Pillario: Based in Bristol, England, Simon Amadeus Pillario has a degree in graphic design and has been professionally illustrating comics since 2002 and has a love of Dark Horse and Image comics, especially B.P.R.D. and anything by Mike Mignola. He became a committed Christian at the age of 23 and after reading the Bible as a young adult was struck by how much of the exciting intrigue, drama and challenging elements are dropped from dramatizations and visualizations of the bible stories. Passionate about the full Word of God and unsatisfied with the cut-down, child-friendly Christian comics available he was inspired to create this product for adults and mature teenagers.Leslie Simonin-Wilmer: AKA Sindos. Graphic Designer by day, Comic Book Colorist by night, probably found drawing lions on all surfaces. Based in Mexico.Ryan Esch: Ryan is a graphic designer and illustrator from Michigan living in Japan who has been making comics since 2012. He loves storytelling, anime, manga and practices both digital and traditional art.
