"A great theologian once said that the most important task of the Christian is to be able to communicate the Gospel to children. What he meant was that it should be simple, direct, truthful, and easily understood. That is a wonderful description of this clear, teachable, and easily read book on the tenets of the Christian life by my good friend Carol Vance."
