The Express - December 1997
The clever and off beat God in Cartoons is worth seeking out, particularly if you have pious relations. It sets out to tell the story of God and other religious celebrities and it's got a great cover: God sitting (as ever) on a cloud checking through The Guinness Book of Records with a caption that reads: "Nice to see no one's beaten six days yet".
Paul Mitchell - European Christian Bookstore Journal - Dec 97
A truly distinguished book for Christmas, birthday present or evangelism for a very wide market. Give most people a Bible and it may well remain unread. God in Cartoons will be thumbed through again and again, leading the unversed enquirer into deeper things, so that the unread will become the read.

From the Back Cover
In the beginning was the Word, but soon afterwards came the picture. Any preacher or lay speaker ... or indeed any tourist, politician or parent knows only too well that the most immediate way to communicate without any knowledge of language or grammar is by the visual image. In this fascinating pictorial survey of Christianity in all its aspects, Mark Bryant has produced an absorbing volume that will both entertain and instruct. By skilfully blending an informative text with drawings from some of today's best cartoonists the Church's issues are presented in a refreshingly novel way, from miracles and monasticism to the Flood and funerals, and from sermons and saints to exorcism and Easter.
