What is this book about?

 

The Apostles' Creed for All God's Children introduces children to the Apostles' Creed, one phrase at a time. Each section explains what Christians believe in simple language, helping children understand the great truths of the Christian faith.

 

Rather than encouraging children to simply memorise the Creed, the book helps them understand the meaning behind the words and how these truths shape our lives.

​

Whether your family regularly recites the Apostles' Creed or is learning it for the first time, this book provides a helpful foundation for discussing the core beliefs of the Christian faith.
