3 in 1 - Revised Edition

By Joanne Marxhausen

Book Overview

One apple. Three parts. One true God. Teach children about the Trinity through a simple, familiar fruit.

An apple has a peel, flesh, and core. Each part is apple--yet there is only one apple.

In this gentle picture book, author Joanne Marxhausen uses an everyday apple to help children learn about the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Children see God's protecting care, Jesus' loving sacrifice and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit's gift of faith through clear words and warm illustrations.

Not Bad Explanation of the Trinity

The Trinity is a hard concept to wrap your head around. This book is an attempt to explain it to children. It's not bad but not great either. Using an apple to explain the Trinity has a lot of faults, but a good effort. It may help children think about the Trinity and what it means but don't use this book as if it is dogma. It is a first explanation not a final one.

Understanding theTrinity

This book helps young people (and old) to understand the trinity. It is such a hard concept to grasp and this book does a great job of explaining it.

Explaining the Trinity

This is a clear and concise book which explains the Trinity in a visually appealing manner. It is recommended for all christian faith groups and a wonderful aid for Sunday School or catholic catechism classes.

EXCELLENT!

This is an excellent book for children. Best explanation of the Trinity I have seen!

A must read for ALL Christians of ALL ages!

I abosultely love this little book of ministry! I was introduced to it many years ago in a Sunday School Workshop for Sunday School Teachers. I knew I had to have it! I went on a 5 year search not even knowing the title of the book but describing the "apple concept" from stores ranging from North Carolina to Washington, DC. When I finally found it, I purchased it for myself (a wife & mother of 3) but decided to give it to my 10 year son. I shared it with my pastor who described it as "awesome!" It's now a part of our New Members Class (which is a 6-week series of classes in which the final class consist of 3 In 1).Thank you for sharing your ministry with us mere mortals!

Excellently explains the 3 persons of God to children!

Never before have I seen a book so clearly explain God to a child. Perfect for every Godchild you may have!
