There are some books that leave a lasting impact, and C is for Christian - An A to Z Treasury of Who We Are in Christ is one of them. This book isn’t just for kids; it's a treasure trove of truth for the whole family. With each letter of the alphabet, Alistair Begg guides young readers through who they are in Christ, exploring everything from "A" for "Adopted" to "Z" for "Zealous." The simplicity of the concepts paired with the depth of the truth makes this book perfect for little hearts and minds.

Illustrated by Emma Skerratt, the visuals are absolutely delightful. Each page is a burst of color, bringing each letter and truth to life with warmth and clarity. The illustrations are engaging and deeply meaningful, helping children grasp the foundational truths of their Christian identity in a way that is both accessible and beautiful.

Begg’s writing style is clear, straightforward, and filled with love. He doesn’t just present facts; he weaves in Scripture and doctrine in a way that is easy for children to grasp while still being spiritually rich. This isn’t a book to rush through—it’s one to savor, reflect on, and revisit again and again.

This book is so very much more than just a primer on the alphabet. It’s a resource that parents and children alike can return to again and again. I can already imagine it being passed down through generations as a cherished family heirloom. C is for Christian is about learning who we truly are in Christ. It’s a legacy book that will stay with your family for years to come.
