Comic Book?-hmmm

So I thought I was purchasing 6 individual illustrated comic books.  remember?--here  Turns out it is 6 books within a single book.  I felt let down.  Evidently I didn't read closely enough!

I've just thumbed through it and a couple of the illustrations were sort of creepy/scary to me.  I was trying to figure out why.  The Spirit of the Lord, like in Nephi's request to understand his father's dream, is a white figure/outlined in blue, hair standing on end.  all of that is fine and I get it but he has no eyes!!  an eye outline but no eyeball! It spooked me.  Angels have a more flesh toned but still no eyes.  Christ is completely fleshed out including eyes.

Maybe they wanted a very careful delineation of who the characters were?  they are definitely individualistic and I can see you wouldn't get mixed up with who is speaking as you read.

So the jury is still out on how I feel about this comic book and if I even want to keep it.  At this point, I won't be asking the parents of my Primary students if I can share the book.

I will read and see if it's true to the Scripture.  Maybe I'm to quick and harsh a judge?

Still reveling in all of the changes and fantastic talks at GC.

Comic Book Style

Today I plan on going to the Temple and I'm really looking forward to it.  With the passage of Winter Weather, and safe driving pretty much guaranteed 24/7, I can get back to a weekly visit.  That sounds so great to me.  Sometimes I need to abruptly change plans & cancel, because of needing to be here with Hubby, so I gave up the idea of trying to take others.  I'm fine flying solo as it gives me time to think and pray.  That talk, for Women's Conference, will be in my thoughts for sure!  And...of course!-General Conference!!

Today I was reminded, from years and years ago, about a comic book of sort called - Book of Mormon on Trial.  I remember thumbing through it and all of the conversation about it...was it true to the real Book of Mormon? and that sort of thing.  A big buzz of excitement but honestly I was lost in the whirl, as I didn't even know the stories from the real Book of Mormon well enough, to be able to compare and put in my two cents!  I remember the fellow's name Jack West.

Anyhow...today I see that there are 6 Volumes, comic book style, of The Book of Mormon available and I ordered them.  I will ask the parents of my Primary class if they will allow their children to borrow the books and read them.  the article is here. 

Trying to remember if at one time I had one of those Trial books.  I remember it was a large paperback with a tan cover.  If so....I should have hung onto it as it would now be a Collector Item!  That would have been in the late 1960's.  Now they have the 3rd Printing available.  I should have bought it also!
