A Faith To Grow On is essentially a book for children and (younger) young adults on the basics of the Christian faith. The book is divided into twelve chapters:
- God
- Creation
- Sin
- Bible
- Jesus
- Salvation
- Worship
- Prayer
- Church
- Forgiveness
- Evangelism
- Heaven
Each chapter is divided or subdivided into two-page spreads that often focus on questions OR share and explain a portion of Scripture. For example, chapter one is broken down into these questions:
- Can we see God?
- Are we like God?
- How are we different from God?
- What does God want from us?
- What keeps us from knowing God?
- How long has God been alive?
- Is God perfect?
- Is there only one God?
- What should we do when we don't understand God?
- What we understand about God?
Some of the questions are natural, others feel a little more forced. Each two page spread is a blend of introduction, explanation, and sometimes application. Also included on each spread are a handful of Scripture verses on the topic. I didn't find the "word scrambles" for each spread necessary. But that could just be me!
Some of the chapters are longer than others, some are quite short. But overall, I think the book offers something of substance to readers. I do think it is important to have quality educational books to share with children. This one would be great for families OR for a church setting.
