What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles religious themes directly but with a very soft touch. The concept of the resurrection is presented as a joyful, hopeful miracle without dwelling on the darker aspects of the crucifixion. It is a strictly Christian perspective, intended for families within that faith tradition.
