Graphic-novel-style book faithfully illustrating the text of Luke’s Gospel. (Uses NIV.)
Latest edition of this stunning graphic-novel-style book, faithfully illustrating the unadorned NIV text of the gospel of Luke.
It has a gritty, contemporary feel to it that is far removed from the clean, bright, graphic versions of the Bible already available for younger children.
This resource will introduce the biblical account of Easter to teens and young adults who enjoy reading illustrated graphic media. Great for giving away to youth groups.

The Third Day is Easter retold with drama and passion. Fast paced and superbly drawn, this is a fresh and faithful Gospel resource sure to engage a new generation.
The spectacular illustrations are engaging and dramatic, they draw you into the comic with their authenticity and detail.
This is what happens when beautiful design and biblical truth combine. The Third Day is stunning.
We bought some of these as a church to give away at a family fun day. They are really attractively produced, designed and drawn, ideal as a gift for older children/ younger teens and were gladly taken by non-Christian kids there. My boys (9 & 7) persuaded me that they needed to have a copy too and have absolutely loved it. What a great way to get kids to engage both with the story and actual text of Luke.
Great comic book, graphic novel style account of Jesus from the last supper to the cross and resurrection. Really good artwork, unlike other comic bibles it's the exact text from the bible, from the gospel of Luke. Made a great gift for our teens.
My 12 year old granddaughter, for whom the book was bought, found it realistic and gripping. She thought the illustrations were excellent and suited the subject. She would give it 4 stars.
We read the Third Day before giving out to teenagers. There are no comments so far. We are OAP's, this format is new to us but we pray that all who read this book have taken it to heart and have more understanding of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour.
Many thanks.
I bought a copy of this book for my Godson Tom, aged 12. He has some dyslexia and doesn't enjoy reading all that much - this is what he texted me: "Thank you for the book, it explained the third day so well and the pictures were really good". Can't get that much better than that!
I got this on Easter Day and was riveted, despite knowing the Easter story inside out! The artwork is fantastic and really draws you in. I imagine it's aimed at teens rather than toddlers, but I have young children who weren't put off by the graphic nature of the story, so it's not too gory, despite the subject matter. Get this. In fact, get 5 - you'll want to give some away.

This is primarily a terrific vehicle by which to reach a younger audience because of its formatting and style, although the use of Luke's text makes it so much more than a mere comic and it will accordingly have a far wider appeal. It is a perfect present for Easter that will distract from the chocolate-fest and remind us of what we celebrate on Easter Day. Having seen some of Alex's previous work I was in no way surprised by the outstanding talent seen on these pages, and I very much hope that this will be the introduction to a larger body of work.
I have shown this book to several people and the comments have been very positive. All wanted a copy!
I enjoyed the pencil sketches at the beginning - to see the talented work of the artist and how the characters in the book had been created. The layout of scripture is clear and easy to follow.
Comments from others: 'This book really meets a gap in the market'.
People involved with missionary work have also requested copies. It is ideal for older teenagers.
The 'masculine' image of Jesus will appeal to this age group. Feedback from a male 17 year old was that 'he liked the pictures'. This book has great potential for inner city outreach and evangelism. An excellent resource.
This may be aimed at the 14-25 year old age range, but I found that I (having left my 20's behind over a decade ago!), too, found a fresh revelation of Jesus and the gospel in the beautifully, intricately drawn pages of this book. The humanity of the characters is ably expressed by an artist who has clearly made a life's study of human character, facial expressions, and body language, which serves to help the reader identify with some of the key characters in the different situations they find themselves in throughout this short but climactic excerpt from Luke's narrative. More, please!
