The Hiding Place (Graphic Novel)
Corrie Ten Boom’s The Hiding Place has a new, graphic novel adaptation for kids by Mario DeMatteo and Ismael Castro. Taken from the original book — with help from one of the three authors of the initial biography — this graphic novel strikes the perfect balance of kid-friendly without softening the overall history of what happened or the core message of hope, love, and forgiveness.
Peter: the Apostle
Peter: The Apostle is a graphic novel of Peter’s life, displaying his message and struggles on a sci-fi futuristic backdrop. This graphic novel by Mario DeMatteo, Ben Avery, and Mark Harmon is a true-to-the-Bible telling of Peter, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, and what occurred in his life and ministry both during Jesus’ time and after His death and resurrection.
Lovely People
Lovely People by Minna Sundberg is a delightfully drawn graphic novel about bunnies living in a world with a social credit system. The purpose of the story is to highlight the dangers of works-based salvation and how we are completely incapable of saving ourselves from even the smallest of sins.
Paul, the Apostle
Paul: The Apostle by Mario DeMatteo is a graphic story Bible that covers the life of Paul (formerly Saul), from the New Testament. This takes the story of his life — both the good and the bad — and faithfully recreates it in a futuristic, sci-fi setting.
