Goodreads Review:
Notes: Filled with illustrations of perky 1950s kiddies hanging out with Jesus, Growing in Christ explains the Bible to a youthful audience with stories, quizzes, discussion topics and artwork crisply rendered in two colors. Concordia (est. 1869) still uses the "Growing in Christ" brand name on its children's educational materials.
