I want to thank Christian Focus Publications for providing me with a copy of Mark’s Marvellous Book in return for my honest opinion.

Alan Mann, an aeronautical engineer and an elder at the Philip Street Chapel, has done a fabulous job of writing and illustrating a delightful and unique children’s book in the 160-page Mark’s Marvellous Book (CF4K, 2016). It would be difficult for me to be any more excited about a picture story book related to the Bible than I am about this one.

Part picture book, part children’s Bible, this is a fun read with an important purpose. Mark’s Marvellous Book has 18 “chapters”. Alan Mann takes a section of the gospel of Mark and selects a them for each chapter. He then has a little 6 page story book (told by the children) that focuses on the theme. The simple illustrations are modern and engaging, and the little story sections are fun to read.

The Book of Mark in the Bible …

                                                               …For Your Kids!

The end of each chapter ends with a one-page synopsis of the section of Mark, tied into the them for the previous six pages. The illustrations on the synopsis page are a little complex, with cool textured backgrounds. Really, the illustrations throughout are just neat. The entire package is adorable. I predict this will be a favorite for many kids–one of those books children ask for over and over again. And really, it’s so meaningful and important to help lay a scriptural foundation for our kids when they’re young.

The Book of Mark in the Bible for Your 3-8 Year Olds
Alan Mann’s Mark’s Marvellous Book is fabulous. It’s fun, each chapter is a readable bedtime or family worship section, it’s contemporary, and it’s true to the scripture covered. I highly recommend this resource for families with young kids, and as a gift for birthdays. It’s that great.

    The review says that Mark’s Marvellous Book by Alan Mann is part picture book and part children’s Bible; this is a very good thing for children. I like that the review tells me who the author is (an aeronautical engineer AND elder at his church) as well as telling me about the book. I really like the fact that part of the book is told by the children yet STILL focuses on the theme! And that it lets me know that each chapter ends with a one-page synopsis. This helps when wanting to recap or just summarize for children because they want to flip through too fast for me to read to them because they have their favorite pictures. And this book, from your review, sounds like it has some wonderful pictures/illustrations! (This is what captures the children’s attentions!) All I will have to do is read up the summary quickly to orientate myself with the stories in each section so as not to confuse the kids! Thank you for this review.

    A relatably animated, comic book style version of the Gospel of Mark? Sign us up!!
    A couple of my kids, one in particular, has learned to love reading because of comic books so a Bible-based story book with page after page of neat line drawings … Perfect.
    May you be blessed with success for making Gods Word more accessible, relatable, and interesting to children.

    What do I love about this book- other than everything. I like the fact that the pictures are big and the text is short enabling the little ones attention to remain focused/engaged and to interact/comment/ask questions about the pictures. The book can easily be read over and over.
