C is for Christian is both a tool and a treasure for anyone—child or adult—who wants to follow Christ. Alistair Begg’s clear teaching and insightful questions help readers respond personally to God’s truth, bringing theology within the reach of young and old alike. I strongly recommend this beautiful book for every home library.
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.
As a grandfather, I am always on the hunt for gospel-rich books to read to my grandchildren. C is for Christian is a book I’ll be reading to my grandkids. With simple everyday-life illustrations to help children comprehend big ideas, Alistair Begg explains what it means to be a Christian. Every family will want to add this book to their library.
This is such a phenomenal devotional for kids!
In my opinion, it’s the best book of the year!
Highly recommend for all ages! Young and old!
Beautifully illustrated and full of theological truths!
I was meeting with someone in a coffee shop recently and saw this sitting out. I started to look through it and said I had to have this book. I am loving reading this for myself and to my grandkids. Even I'm learning new things.
"Being a Christian is the most wonderful, exciting, life-changing thing anyone can be." But what words can you use to describe what it means to be a Christian?
C is for Christian takes you through the alphabet while completing the sentence: A Christian is...
Each letter is beautifully illustrated and contains a Bible verse, an example or story, questions, and a prayer. I was truly amazed at the beauty of this book. The illustrations are breathtaking. Each letter is unique and the colors are vibrant and joyful. This is my new favorite ABC book and a must-have for your home library. It is the perfect family read-aloud, and would make for a great daily or weekly devotional.
*I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning! These illustrations are by far my favorite that I have seen from this year. Also, there are no depictions of Christ in this book. Written to be a devotional for children, it takes you through each letter of the alphabet and introduces chidlren to the meaning of being a Christian A-Z. Example: A is for adopted, B is for branch, C is for Citizen etc..
Alistair Begg does a wonderful job expalining what it means to be a Christian with the gospel message throughout. This book is truly a treasury of theology and one I am so excited to have in our home library!
Each devotional page contains:
🖋Letter of the Alphabet
🖋Corresponding Scripture
🖋Explanation
🖋Questions
🖋Prayer
Thank you @thegoodbookcompanyusa for a copy of this book for my honest thoughts!
We love this book! This is great for children and it helps them learn the alphabet as they learn about the Bible. The quality is great and we absolutely thought it was such a fun book! Highly recommend it!
This was a cute, fun book to walk through with my kids. From the introduction letter, Alistair confirms that the book looks at twenty-six different words that answer the sentence: A Christian is...
And of course, to add a bit more excitement, the words follow the letters of the alphabet.
Alistair dedicates two page spread to each word. The first includes a very beautiful, engaging illustration that displays the essence of the word. It also includes a scripture reference. The second page includes a question that stems from the word and scripture reference followed by a very detailed explanation. To conclude, Begg adds additional reflection questions along with a written prayer for parent and child to say together.
Some of the words used throughout the book:
- Adopted
- Example
- Jewel
- New Creation
- Qualified
- Upheld
- Zealous
At the very end of the book, the is a summary of all the letters and their respective words with a challenge to memorize them all and remember who we are in Christ. A second challenge to memorize all the scripture references for each word as well.
This was definitely a great addition to our kids' library and a great challenge to utilize through the summer or during school to help each of us remember our identity in Christ.
I received a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
Dr. Begg does an amazing job explaining what it means to be a Christian in child-friendly words. Sometimes we make it more complicated than it is. No flowery words but concise and age appropriate words with beautiful illustrations.
If you are looking for a daily devotional for young children, I highly recommend this one!
Using the alphabet as a guide and memory tool, this book helps teach 26 aspects of the Christian identity, of who the Christian is in Christ. With key verses to memorize, prompting and reflection questions, prayer scripts and a short devotional writing for each letter of the Alphabet, it provides a host of rich theological to inspire important conversations with kids. Each devotional writing is written to explain the corresponding key word in a way that beckons kids in to the beauty that is life as a Christian living among the community of Christ’s church.
I appreciate the supplemental resources that are available on the GoodBook Website and I’m looking forward to using this resource as a part of our morning baskets and family worship time!
