Other than a few grammatical changes and spelling corrections, this is all Lucy’s own work. She spent hours making sure it included her favourite bits, how she felt about the book and if she would recommend it to anyone. We then found out that ‘El Deafo’ was included in The Guardian Young Critics Competition and Lucy asked if she could write her own review. ![]() She read it within one sitting and even declined an ice lolly which is testament to Cece Bell. So much so, I just had to read it once she’d released it from her grip. My daughter was engrossed in this clever, witty and compelling graphic novel from the outset.

Let’s take as an example his book titled, Jesus Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible – And Why We Don’t Know About Them. Even though Bart Ehrman has a PhD and a professorship position at a major University, he makes a lot of very elementary mistakes in his work. I have made an extensive study of Bart’s work and have learned that when Bart Ehrman makes a claim, it is best to check the primary source for yourself, since if past experience is anything to go by, he is more likely to be misrepresenting his sources than otherwise. ![]() He has written a number of books attempting to cast doubt on the reliability of the New Testament.
