The detailed Biblical scenes created out of LEGO pieces by author Brendan Powell Smith, tell these complex stories in a surprisingly accessible way. That format – using a kid-friendly, feel-good toy – helps readers reappreciate tales that are more than 5000 years old. Most of us already know the story of baby Moses. We’ve seen it in the movies, in art and popular culture; heard it in services and church school. We’ve read the Bible stories. We know this guy and the arc of his life. Yet, that familiarity is reimagined by Smith in the same way that Jesus’ life was dramatically retold by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice in the rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar.It’s a stunning achievement – the originality and freshness of Smith’s LEGO vision (the company does not sponsor, authorize or endorse Smith’s books) continues to amaze and delight me. I own all of his Brick Bible for Kids books, Revolution, Assassination, and his massive tome, The Brick Bible: The Complete Set. Reading (his text is equally strong) and seeing his work never gets old. The Brick Bible for Kids line is obviously appropriate for kids, but adult connoisseurs of his work will enjoy these vignette gems, too.
