"...is a fresh and imaginative new alphabet book that brings thoughtful reflection on faith and symbol to both children and the adults that are reading with them."— Crux of the News, December 2007

"This engaging alphabet book is filled with amazing and beautiful artwork, and brimming with biblical references.  My five year old son loved searching for the hidden letters of the alphabet amongst the illustrations. The book stimulated much conversation about vocabulary that was new to him throughout the text.  Faith enriching, fun and an excellent teaching tool as well." — Nancy Sullivan, Grand Rapids, MI (as appears on ecathechist.typepad.com blog)
