Young Explorers P is for Pilgrim

Fully illustrated with original lino-print artworks on every page, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell introduces the key words and concepts of the Christian faith in this A to Z journey. P is for Pilgrim is a wonderful and useful gift for celebrating Confirmation, Baptism, Graduation or for prize-giving and other family events. This A-Z of the Christian faith is written for beginners of all ages. You can read it if you're nine - or ninety!Introducing the key words and ideas of the Christian faith, it takes you on a journey: through the alphabet and through the Christian faith. It tells the story of how God's heart is open to everyone through the life, death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. Each one of us can be part of this story by journeying with Jesus ourselves as pilgrims on the way to life. Everyone is invited. As you explore the Christian faith, you will soon encounter some challenging words: Trinity, Sacrament, Reconciliation, Sin, Incarnation, even the word 'Christ' itself. It isn't Jesus's surname! It is a title with a meaning and history.Sooner, or later, these words, and the ideas behind them, must be addressed and understood. It is simply not possible to be a Christian without understanding sin and forgiveness, knowing what a sacrament is, or accepting Jesus as the Christ.This book is here to help. It explores and explains many of the key concepts and ideas that underpin the Christian faith."I had assumed that someone else had already written a book like this. It seemed such an obvious thing to do. But while I could find weighty tomes on the topics explored here, I couldn't find a book which covered all these things in ways that were accessible, comprehensive and friendly: a simple book about complex things, one which just about anyone could read and find helpful. So, I wrote one." - Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
