Moses Pharaoh Locusts It s the story of Exodus as thou hath never seen it before Follow the life of Moses as he rides down the Nile river, talks to the Burning Bush, witnesses the Ten Plagues, parts... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this book (and the others by the same author) for my brother who is a huge Lego fan. He actually read them all and loved them, whereas before it was difficult to get him to read other books with kids' versions of Bible stories.
Awesome Book

hilarious...

...but even funnier than the Reverents books are the reviewers who only rated his books one star. Those sad souls apparantly never read their bible. The funniest side of this whole Brick Testament series is the fact that the text is straight from the bible - no glossing over sex, violence and absurdity. Read it, laugh at it and laugh at yourself for thinking that the Bible is about peace, love and understanding. It is about sex, violence and suppression of women, slaves and anybody who does not belong to your little religious group. No wonder it's been such a bestseller...
A surprisingly excellent usage of Legos

If you haven't figured it out yet, this product is highly critical of Christianity. However, everything in it is essentially just stuff in the Bible, anyway, only depicted in Lego form (the fact that at least a few Christians take offense to it despite this is very telling...) I highly recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for a good laugh and has a problem with the religious fundamentalism in the US these days.
Amazingly Creative Book that's Great for Kids and Adults

This is another great book by the creator of the wonderfully creative website, The Brick Testament. If you've read the previous Brick Testament books, or even if you haven't you will absolutely love this one. It's great for kids - bundle this book with a box of Lego for a great gift - as well as adults. This book depicts many of the well known stories of the Bible involving Moses. These stories are great for kids; I have much fondness of my mother telling me her favorite Bible story as a child - Moses' mother and sister protect him by floating him in a reed basket on the Nile. Smith is obviously very imaginative in translating the Bible to Lego, and is even able to render effectively all ten plagues of Egypt. Frogs, beetles, locusts - you name it! One of my favorite things about this book is extremely subtle. Moses ages from a baby to an old man in the course of this book. It's fun to go through the book and see how this occurs little by little in Lego - one step is just the addition of bushy old man eyebrows!
