The Anabaptists are a small group of Christians who believe that everyone is a priest and should be able to study the Bible.

This review is from: Secret Church (Paperback)

And excellent little book about several children whose parents become Anabaptists. The book is written from the perspective of the childen. And has a fabulous story line. It is good reading if you want your children to have a deeper faith in God.
