Okay I laughed. Hard. And showed my husband who also laughed.
We agreed. Nerdy Ned rocks.
Nerdy Ned is a Wimpy-Kid-style character who’s drawing his way through the Bible in Totally Awesome, Super-Cool Bible Stories. He shows John the Baptist (who needs a fashion makeover) eating locusts (that are Locust-a-Licious!) and Moses floating in the basket with a disclaimer for kids to not try this with their little brother or sister. See Ned’s smart like that too.
Ned brings it home when he talks about his superpower:
I dream all the time about what kind of superpower I, Ned Wiley, would like to have if I were given the chance to fight the forces of darkness on earth. But when I think about all of the coolest ones – flying, being invisible, being made of steel – none of those is nearly as cool as the ultimate superpower designed by God: walking with the Holy Spirit.
Written in the popular sketch comic art style, Totally Awesome, Super-Cool Bible Stories is geared for kids ages 6-10. It would definitely appeal to reluctant readers. The fun images and the engaging stories will draw them in. There are even doodle pages scattered through the book, encouraging kids to participate with drawings of their own.
You can check out the flipbook here for some sample pages. I’m thinking this would make a fantastic stocking stuffer!

I primarily would like this for my 5 yr old son who is starting to read but I really think my 7 yr old daughter would enjoy it too!
I would lovethis to teach Sunday School
I think both of my kids would enjoy this — especially my 7 yr. old.
I have a 9-year-old who is very into “Wimpy Kid” and he loves Jesus. I know this would be the perfect fit. It is actually the Wimpy kid books that got him reading independently and he still prefers them to chapter books (Kind of like we liked comic books as kids.) He has been going through some tough times lately and I am trying to figure out how to make the Bible more applicable for him and so that he relates to it better with his daily challenges. I was just brainstorming this in the car and came home to see this on Pinterest. i would be delighted to win and would happily spread the word too.
My 8 year old son would LOVE this.
This would be perfect for one of my nephews!!!
I would love this for my little grandsons!
My boys would really like this !
My 7 year old son would love this!
I’m sure my nephew would like this.
I would share this with my kids.
i would share it with my son
I would read this book to my daughter now as she loves to read Bible stories. It would be used for many years to come as my daughter and my son grow up.
i am 34 years old…i want this for me and my children to learn more stories together.
