Nominated for Bible of the Year
This year at the Christian Resources Together event, Song of Songs: Word for Word Bible Comic was nominated as Bible of the Year. In the end, we didn’t win but let’s see what happens next year with The Book of Acts!
I was encouraged to hear that there were 22 entrants for this award, so the top 3 is pretty good. Here are a few comments submitted by the judges:
these have never been my style but I had not grasped the attention to detail before handling a copy.
the appendix pages are fantastic.
very good all round with a good introduction to the book and extra features and background at the end.
excellent quality and great thought and expertise put into this idea.
Our most successful Kickstarter! You can still late pledge
On September 15th the Kickstarter officially finished and it reached £35,477 just shy of Acts which ended on £36,097. However, we took advantage of the new “Late Pledge”* feature on Kickstarter and it has now exceeded Acts at £37,170 and rising. Thank you so much to everyone who has backed the project and supported us on this crazy card game.
SURVEYS: We’ve also just sent out the Backer Survey so don’t forget to fill yours in so we can send you your books now and your games later.
*Late Pledge: This is only available on a limited number of items and they do not include the campaign time discounts, but they do allow latecomers to climb aboard while we keep working on the game. Very soon the late pledges will close, however, so if you are one of those who forgot to back the project this is your last chance!

In our new Christmas Shop, we’ve got the Christmas Nativity graphic novel, the Colouring Factbook, Christmas Cards and even a T-shirt in various colours!
The number of card sets we have is limited and we are shipped from the UK so if you're outside the UK you’ll need to order them soon to get them in time!
(Ps. I adjusted all the t-shirt prices to make them all more affordable at £15-£19)
Prayer Requests
Gospels into Prisons: We are partnering again with the OPTIM charity to get many Bible Comics and gospels into UK prisons. This is being augmented by our Kickstarter backers too. Please pray this goes smoothly and God’s Word is life-changing for these inmates!
New Opportunities: Over the last few months I’ve been talking to various people about different opportunities to utilise the bible comic to
