| Definitely not just for young Catholics! |
The only problem is the subtitle.
Ok, I get the 'marketing to Catholics' thing, but this publication is certainly NOT just for Young Catholics. What a terrible and limiting thing to say!
No.
| Emily's story telling prowess shines here! |
This work of art is for everyone (the young and the young at heart) who wants to know more about the Christian faith in its entire sweep. It wonderfully connects the dots between key elements over the entire arc of salvation history.
| Diana Renzina's art work is stunningly beautiful! |
It is for kids of all ages. My inner 10 year old has delighted in every page.

| Read by the actor who plays Jesus in 'The Chosen' |
So Christian or not, Protestant or Catholic or Orthodox or whatever, this one is for you, if you want to catch a vision of what Christians have treasured over the past twenty centuries.
Emily Stimpson Chapman's excellent story telling abilities combined with Diana Renzina's stunning artwork make this a winner on every front.
