Okay, I am really excited for this one now. While I was hesistant to like it because I just couldn’t picture Chris Evans as anything but Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four, after this trailer, I am thrilled!

My Geek Voice interview with Sergio, artist of The Action Bible, plus a great giveaway!
I had a chance to interview Sergio Cariello, the artist and illustrator of The Action Bible. We talked about
Sophia (my 6 year old) with her Action Bible
many of the comics that he has worked on such as, Batman, Daredevil, and Wonder Woman (a personal favorite).
Sergio also talked about how The Action Bible, formerly The Picture Bible, was important to him as a child growing up in Brazil and also when he became a Christian. Sergio had a copy of The Picture Bible as a child and it meant a lot to him, so being asked to work on The Action Bible was a dream come true for him. Sergio shared how David C. Cook Publishing had asked for a “tryout” of Sergio’s work and how Sergio had it finished in one day instead of using the whole week deadline that was given. We also spoke about being a Christian and working in the comic book industry, how sometimes you have to be a bit cautious on the projects that you work on, much like in all other jobs as well. Sergio’s biggest point is to keep the main thing, the main thing in your life, which for him & me, is Jesus. Jesus is the ultimate action hero and how we need to remember that as well.
As an added bonus, David C. Cook has graciously given me five copies of The Action Bible for giveaways! In order to be put in the giveaway, post a comment why you or someone that you love needs a copy of this great bible! The deadline is March 20th!

Going back in time…

Lately, I have been on a kick about going back in time to doing things the old way. We no longer have a microwave, which I have to say, I really don’t miss. I’m baking bread from scratch (no bread machine use) and I’ve been doing more knitting projects.
I think this might be due to the fact that our family has been watching a lot of the Love Comes Softly movie series, Little House on the Prairie and the Anne of Green Gables series as well. While some people might call this place in time archaic, I find it comforting. I love how simple and uncluttered with stuff their lives were. Not to say that they didn’t have their problems, but they were simpler back then. Now, it’s a lot more complicated!
What I love most about this time period is that you reaped what you sowed. I love knowing that the bread on my table is the bread I made with my own hands, a machine didn’t make it for me. Or the sweater that Sophia wears is made by my time and effort. I find comfort in this, that this is not only from my work, but that my daughters can see this as well and benefit. One day they will teach their daughters, just as my mom, Grandma and Nana taught me.
In the world that can seem crazy, busy and cluttered, there is still time to make bread, knit a sweater and provide with manual labor for my family.
