C is for Christian is both a tool and a treasure for anyone—child or adult—who wants to follow Christ. Alistair Begg’s clear teaching and insightful questions help readers respond personally to God’s truth, bringing theology within the reach of young and old alike. I strongly recommend this beautiful book for every home library.
When children think about the marks of a Christian, they may first think of things Christians do. But it’s also essential for us to teach kids who Christians are. That’s exactly what Dr. Begg does in C Is for Christian. This beautifully illustrated alphabet catechism will help the next generation learn and remember the Bible’s many vivid depictions of Christian identity.
As a grandfather, I am always on the hunt for gospel-rich books to read to my grandchildren. C is for Christian is a book I’ll be reading to my grandkids. With simple everyday-life illustrations to help children comprehend big ideas, Alistair Begg explains what it means to be a Christian. Every family will want to add this book to their library.
There are some books that leave a lasting impact, and C is for Christian - An A to Z Treasury of Who We Are in Christ is one of them. This book isn’t just for kids; it's a treasure trove of truth for the whole family. With each letter of the alphabet, Alistair Begg guides young readers through who they are in Christ, exploring everything from "A" for "Adopted" to "Z" for "Zealous." The simplicity of the concepts paired with the depth of the truth makes this book perfect for little hearts and minds.
Illustrated by Emma Skerratt, the visuals are absolutely delightful. Each page is a burst of color, bringing each letter and truth to life with warmth and clarity. The illustrations are engaging and deeply meaningful, helping children grasp the foundational truths of their Christian identity in a way that is both accessible and beautiful.
Begg’s writing style is clear, straightforward, and filled with love. He doesn’t just present facts; he weaves in Scripture and doctrine in a way that is easy for children to grasp while still being spiritually rich. This isn’t a book to rush through—it’s one to savor, reflect on, and revisit again and again.
This book is so very much more than just a primer on the alphabet. It’s a resource that parents and children alike can return to again and again. I can already imagine it being passed down through generations as a cherished family heirloom. C is for Christian is about learning who we truly are in Christ. It’s a legacy book that will stay with your family for years to come.

A beautiful treasury of thoughts with wonderful, thoughtful illustrations. The perfect gift for children of any age and something for them to treasure forever.
This book is such a blessing to our family! I've been going through an alphabet letter each day with my kids over breakfast, and it has been so edifying! The text is engaging and easy to understand (my kids are 7 and under), and the illustrations are beautiful. I love the questions to help us reflect what we've learnt each day, and we take turns praying for one another with the suggest prayer at the end. What has been also life-giving is that we began to memorise Scripture as a result of this book (there is a Bible verse for each letter). Thank you so much for this wonderful resource!
P.S. I've received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
This is a beautiful children’s book to explain what it means to be a Christian! I’ve read lots of Alistair Begg’s work before, but always his resources for adults. However, this new children’s book is superb. It’s got enough detail for older children, but the illustrations mean that it could work for younger children if it was read to them. The pages include some very common descriptions of Christians, but also some less well known words too (e.g. qualified, pilgrim, imitator). This will be a fantastic book for those older children being baptised or for the families of younger children joining the church, showing them what it means to be a Christian and giving them some Bible passages and prayers to explore as a family together.
Is it good to be a Christian? In C is for Christian, Alistair Begg presents an A to Z treasury of who we are in Christ.
Far and Deep
I love that this book begins with my favorite reality – that we are adopted by God. Each letter provides an opportunity to talk about Gospel realities with your children – N is for new creation, P is for pilgrim, S is for sent, and V is for victorious.
Each letter is accompanied by a quick devotion, short discussion questions, and a small prayer. The book will allow you to go surprisingly far and deep with your kids!
Great and Glorious
The illustrations by Emma Skerratt are gorgeous, with captivating colors and beautiful detail. They have a classic charm, making the entire book a wonderful work of art.
The message of this book is not only is it good to follow Jesus – but it is great, and it is glorious!
I received a media copy of C is for Christian and this is my honest review.
I think this book would be a great addition to every Christian family's bookshelf. You can read one letter a day as a short but rich devotion with your kids. And the illustrations are so lovely! All around a wonderful book.
🕯️ C is for Christian 🕯️
This delightful little alphabet family devotional far exceeded my expectations.
💕 What’s it about?
For each letter of the alphabet a certain aspect of who we are in Christ is focused on, such as V for victorious.
There is a related verse, delightful illustration, a thoughtful reflection, discussion questions and a closing prayer for each section.
💕 Who’s it for?
Families with young children. We have ages 7, 4 and 2 at home and it has been perfect for us.
đź’• Concluding thoughts
We love it! We’ve been using it daily and have found it to be engaging, enriching and a very simple way to engage our children in rich biblical truth. Starting our day beautifully 🥰
đź’• Things to consider
We had to explain a few points a little bit, as the way it was written may be a bit confusing. This may not be the case for you and your family though. As always, no book (outside of the Bible) will be perfect, and so occasionally you may feel the need to flesh out a point or two.
Thank you TGBC for generously providing this copy in exchange for our honest thoughts. We love it!
We've been doing this at bedtime with my 5 year old who was stayed engaged throughout. The beautiful pictures and simplicity of a single word are helping her remember things and the questions are pitched really well so that there's always at least one which feels age appropriate. Definitely one we will come back to and gain more and more from over the years.
A great book that can be used with young children as a devotional each day. Would be a great month long study to do with your family on a regular occurance. The illustrations are GORGEOUS and these are such good truths to teach ourselves and our children about what a Christian is.
I received C is for Christian compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
C is for Christian is the first children’s book by pastor and author Alistair Begg. The book begins with Begg’s encouragement, “I hope that, as you read, you’ll become more and more amazed by all the God has done and is doing for his people—for every Christian, however young or old. And I pray that you’ll want to become or continue to be, a Christian yourself.”
Begg wrote C is for Christian to help little ones understand what it means to be a Christian. Using 26 words, one for each letter of the alphabet, children learn one aspect of being a Christian. The words Begg selected are based on words and concepts from the Bible and each one includes a Bible verse to support it and a brief commentary by Begg. For example, the page dedicated to the letter “c” includes the word citizen and Philippians 3:20.
The book is formatted like a devotional and each of the 26 entries concludes with a few questions or things to think about and a prayer. The illustrations are stunning and the book includes a ribbon bookmark making it a lovely gift idea for children. C is for Christian concludes with a captivating two page spread that contains all the letters of the alphabet making this resource helpful for teaching young readers the Bible and their ABCs. While this is a children’s resource, adult readers are sure to benefit from it too. This is one of my new favorite Christian books for kids and I highly recommend it!
