It has been around for a few years, but only in Greek. The English edition just came out a few months ago. I've been waiting with baited breath! I've flipped through it and it is what I'd hoped it would be. A very simple, children's illustrated bible story book, but the illustrations are icon-like and the stories have that "Orthodox" feel, if you know what I mean. They don't differ all that dramatically from any other children's illustrated bible, but they just have that...well...feel to them. The wording and phrasing and attitude behind it. Don't know how to explain it exactly. I'm just in love with it...
