Book Summary

Excite kids about how great it is to be a Christian with this beautifully illustrated treasury of theological truths.

Going from A to Z, kids will learn about the amazing things that are true of us if we know Christ. For example:

A is for Adoption - we are children of God, part of his beloved family.
B is for Branch - we are connected to Jesus, the vine, and he gives us life and all we need.
C is for Citizen - we have a place in heaven, which is where we are heading.
Each letter teaches children about an aspect of our identity in Christ using Bible verses and clear engaging teaching by Alistair Begg. Reflection questions and prayers are included, making it possible to use this resource devotionally, such as for bedtime devotions or morning baskets. It can also be used as a kind of catechism, summarizing some of the Bible's truths about being a Christian. The alphabet format makes these theological truths easy to remember. Can be read to kids 4+ or read by kids 7+.

Children will be invited to praise, thank, and worship Jesus as they grow more excited about all the incredible blessings that come with being his friend.

When children think about the marks of a Christian, they may first think of things Christians do. But it’s also essential for us to teach kids who Christians are. That’s exactly what Dr. Begg does in C Is for Christian. This beautifully illustrated alphabet catechism will help the next generation learn and remember the Bible’s many vivid depictions of Christian identity.
