Excellent starter book for the new young christian
An excellent book for the young christian wanting to perswevere with the faith. Bought as a confirmation present on several occasions, the book tackles commonly asked questions and issues facing teenagers today. John Dickson is homourous and easy to read but rooted in the Bible, so what he says is trustworthy. ![]()
