Recently we were introduced to The Brick Bible for Kids series. The two things that go down every day in our house is LEGO play and learning about the Bible. This two concepts were combined and it was amazing at how it pulled my boys in.
About the Book:
Joseph and the Colorful Coat: The Brick Bible for Kids has arrived! Joseph was the undeniable favorite of Jacob’s twelve sons, much to the jealousy of his brothers. One day, Joseph’s brothers took from him a colorful coat that had been given to him by their father, threw him in a well, and sold him into slavery. The eleven brothers then told their father that his favorite son had been killed, presenting him with the blood smeared coat as evidence. Despite this betrayal, Joseph becomes a very powerful man in the community. Years later, when Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt to ask for food, will he forgive them for their past wrongdoings or hold their sins against them?

What We Thought
Most of us are familiar with Joseph and his coat of many colors and The Brick Bible for Kids does a great job at hitting all the details. This isn’t a sugar-coated and shortened version that you get from a lot of children’s Bible story books that are out there. This one hits all the details and covers all the information. This story even includes Potiphar’s wife and how Joseph was thrown in prison. This is the first children’s book that I have read that actually includes all this. The ability for my kids to be able to picture these stories with the use of LEGOs is brilliant, and both my four year old and eight year old enjoyed it! I can’t wait to check out the others.
Joseph and the Colorful Coat: The Brick Bible has a SRP of $12.95.
