A wonderful resource

This wonderful little book is a highly readable explanation of the Mennonite faith. Prepared by theologians from two North American Mennonite groups (the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church), it is a work of thought that is practically a work of art. The book contains twenty-three chapters on the key articles of Mennonite faith; each article contains a statement of faith (e.g. "We believe that..."), Bible references, and a clear and concise commentary. Overall, I found this book to be a wonderful resource. The people who prepared it have done an excellent job of presenting the Mennonite faith in a way that is understandable to everyone, regardless of their knowledge of who the Mennonites are. So, if you are a non-Mennonite who is interested in the Mennonite faith, or are a Mennonite who wishes to have a short but succinct statement of their faith, then I highly recommend this book to you.
