This review is from: I Want to Know About the Church (Hardcover)

As a Christian Educator, I constantly search for ways to help children and adults relate their faith to the "real world." This book does a fabulous job of combining useful information in an entertaining and easy-to-comprehend format. Issues that children of this age face (such as: "Why go to church?" "Why are there different churches?" and "Why should I get involved?") are dealt with lovingly and biblically. I particularly liked the way the author dealt with the issue of denominations. Many adults will gain a new perspective of their own beliefs after reading this book. From the basics of Christianity, to church history, and even into cults, this book dares to answer the challenging questions that children often ask. I consider this book and the others in this series to be of vital importance to parents and church workers who wish to help children in their spiritual growth. You'll be surprised what YOU learn from this book!
