Small, but mighty
We purchased these booklets for our church outreach program prior to our Christmas concert and included them as part of an invitation/gift for our neighbours. For a small booklet it is actually quite a lengthy read, but not a difficult one, with simple, straightforward language and no confusing terminology. On top of that a glossary in the back gives clarification to any words that may be less familiar for some readers. It is probably the most comprehensive overview of the Bible I have ever read in so few pages. There are questions and answers in the back for further review, giving people an opportunity to ask themselves what they truly believe. Also included is a section of Scripture references that coincide with all the pages of the book. The Gospel and our need for it is clearly presented. The only concern I have is that a great emphasis is placed on salvation leading to a perfect life in heaven, but little is mentioned about how this saving grace also results in real change in our lives here and now.
