Shalom to all,


i grew up reading and thoroughly enjoying comics - but the majority of material out there is truly not edifying and even in many instances against the Word of the Father in content and depiction.

that is changing, and in a great way.

www.nextmanga.com

this site has information about faith-based projects aimed at bringing the true message of Scripture to young people today.

i found and bought a copy of MESSIAH, which is a rendering of the 4 accounts of the Good News into one complete story, and i was very surprised at how authentic the book attempts to be with the message.

the art is stylized manga (a Japanes form of detailed cartoon), and on the bottom of each page are the Scripture passages listed where you can read the actual events that are depicted on the page.

what's more, the presentation of the work is something you don't see in modern Christian presentations of the Good News: Messiah is called "YESHUAH" throughout, His parents are called "YOSEF" and "MIRYAM." the English title "GOD" is still employed, however. you will see men wearing the tallits with tzitzit and the Pharisees with tefillin on their foreheads, as well. the inscription on the cross even shows the three different languages written out clearly for all to see. the attention to 1st-century Torah and cultural detail is evident all over the place.

for those who may have young boys or girls who would enjoy a closer rendition of the Good News accounts than is normally presented in Christian media, i would suggest checking this out. i found a copy for sale at Wal-Mart, of all places!


just thought i would pass on the interesting news.


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

This is great news and thanks for posting it!

~Free

my pleasure!

I clicked your link but there is no other info there as far as how to obtain the comic.....help?

i went back and checked, and i couldn't find one there either! how weird is that?

BUT

do a search for "manga messiah" on www.ebay.com or www.amazon.com and you will find copies for sale in the online stores there. i paid $10 at Wal-Mart, but you might find it cheaper online.


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

WEIRD!!! I will try ebay and amazon....thanks so much, Burning one!.....becky

hope you can find a good deal! the women in my congregation have this "Anointed to shop" philosophy where they ask Elohim to lead them to the best use of their money when purchasing - so may He give you a great deal!

blessings this Shabbat!


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

Thanks, I see quite a few at Amazon and will check them out. I am assuming that it is English unless specifically stated, correct? Oh, can you read my response to you under the "Yahushua - Torah made flesh?" topic? thanks so much.....a blessed Shabbat to you and yours.........sis becky

shabbat shalom, Burning One,

it will be shabbat in around 30 minutes! praise Yah!!!

I haven't seen the comics yet, but a week or two ago, my mother told me she read your post and she said she have seen the comics via the link that you provided.

She wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this as she enjoyed reading it

Praise Yah!


p.s. I have just checked the link, it is working...

if you hover your mouse over the characters, the cartoon strip will pop up

looks pretty neat! I will share this with some young kids who love anime manga, this probably will open up the gospel to them?
