Not only is this book a colourful treasure trove for sharing the faith distilled in the great prayer of the creed, but it is designed with the Church’s own criteria for the gospel message: it is Trinitarian, Christocentric, beautiful, scriptural, liturgical, integral and written according to the important principle of the primacy to grace.
This is deliberately a book not a video, because research makes clear that both understanding and retention are significantly higher when learning from books rather than a
virtual screen presentation.

It is designed above all to enable personal accompaniment for the passing on of the faith from one generation to another. Nonetheless, it is already being used for small groups of teenagers, for pre-confirmation, for parents seeking baptism for a child, for Christian initiation for children of 10yrs and upwards and is a great gift for homeschoolers. It uses a seek and find methodology from the text pages back to the picture pages so that everything in the picture pages is used to help understand the great articles of the creed. The picture pages are so packed with biblical symbolism that a set of further ‘Enrichment pages’ that take you through, for example, the different depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her different titles, or, all the biblical trees included in the pictures and how the symbolise the cross of Christ.
