Free previewWhen God Made Everything
Genesis 1:1-2:3
Before there was anything at all, there was God. Then, day by day, he speaks the whole world into being — light and dark, sky and sea, sun and moon and stars, whales and hummingbirds, elephants and chipmunks, and at last a man and a woman made in his own image. On the seventh day, God rests — and everything is very good. A gentle, day-by-day picture book of the very first story in the Bible, with the story told right inside the pictures — perfect for the youngest listeners.
Free previewJoseph's Coat and Dreams
Genesis 37:1-36
Joseph is the favorite son, and everyone knows it. His father Jacob gives him a special coat — long sleeves, bright colors — that his ten older brothers do not get. Joseph has two big dreams about sheaves and stars bowing down to him, and he can''t help telling everyone about them. The brothers hate him for it. One afternoon when Joseph comes out to the fields to check on them, they grab him, strip off the coat, and throw him into an empty cistern. They sell him to a passing caravan headed for Egypt. They dip the coat in goat''s blood and bring it home to Jacob, who weeps for the son he thinks is dead. This is the first part of one of the longest, most painful, and most redemptive family stories in the Bible.
Free previewCreation
Genesis 1:1-2:3
In the very beginning, before there was anything at all, there was God. With words like songs, he calls the world into being — light and dark, sky and sea, plants and birds and fish and animals, and finally two people made in his image. After six days of making, he rests, and calls it all good. This comic invites kids into the wonder of where everything comes from. Each spread captures one day of creation in bright, joyful art — perfect for the youngest readers learning the very first story in the Bible.
Free previewNoah’s Ark
Genesis 6:9-22
The world has grown so loud with violence and cruelty that God grieves over what he made. He chooses one family — Noah, his wife Naamah, their three sons and their wives — and gives them a job that will take a hundred and twenty years: build a giant wooden ark, big enough for two of every animal. The rain comes for forty days. The ark floats. Everyone safe inside listens to the world being washed clean. When the dove returns with an olive leaf and the door finally opens, Noah''s family steps out onto a fresh earth, and God paints a rainbow across the sky as a promise: never again. This comic captures both the seriousness of judgment and the warmth of God''s mercy.
Free previewJoseph in Egypt
Genesis 39:1-41:57
Sold as a slave, far from home, Joseph keeps doing the right thing. He works hard for his master Potiphar. He refuses to betray him. For that faithfulness he ends up in prison anyway. There, he interprets dreams for fellow prisoners and waits — two more years — before anyone remembers him. Then Pharaoh has a dream that no one can explain. Joseph is called from the dungeon, washed up, dressed, and brought before the throne. He interprets the dream, proposes a plan, and within an afternoon is made second-in-command over all of Egypt. Seven years of plenty and seven years of famine roll out exactly as the dream said. The story shows kids that God''s plans can take a long time to ripen — and that integrity in private becomes destiny in public.
Free previewThe Tower of Babel
Genesis 11:1-9
After the flood, the people of the earth all speak one language and live in one place. They settle in a plain called Shinar and decide to build a city with a tower that reaches the heavens — to make a name for themselves so they will not be scattered. They use baked bricks and tar, and the construction climbs higher and higher. God comes down to see it. "Nothing they imagine to do will be impossible for them," he says. And he scatters them, confusing their language so they cannot understand each other. The half-built tower is left behind. The city gets a new name: Babel — "confusion." Centuries later at Pentecost, God will reverse the scattering — many languages, one gospel.
Free previewJoseph’s Reunion
Genesis 42:1-45:28
The famine has reached Canaan. Jacob sends ten of his sons down to Egypt to buy grain — and they bow before the prime minister without knowing who he really is. Joseph recognizes them instantly. He tests them, hides his identity, and gently, slowly, brings them face to face with what they did. When his youngest brother Benjamin is brought, Joseph cannot keep the secret any longer. He sends every Egyptian out of the room and weeps so loudly the palace hears it. "I am Joseph your brother," he tells them. "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good." The whole family is brought down to Egypt, fed, and saved. This is one of the great forgiveness stories in the Bible — a finale that makes everything before it worth it.
