April’s Quick Review (Children’s Book Edition)

Since I got to rediscover Net Galley, I read some books that I don’t usually get through e-mail. It’s evident in this post that you can read my reviews of other books outside of what I usually dive into. I hope you find this review as a guide on what books you  will get for your kids.

Hop on board the bus and let the Grammy award winning artist Zach Williams take you for a ride to places (representing the fruit of the Spirit) and guide you to become a little more like Jesus. I love the concept of the artist being in his book and taking kids for a road trip. The art is superb and really blends with all the coolness of this book.

5 Reasons Why Jesus Christ is NOT a Baptist (Part 1)

Humorous as it might seem, there are some Baptist groups who seriously believe this teaching :that Jesus Christ is a Baptist. They claim since John the Baptist is “the Baptist” therefore when he baptized Jesus, Jesus is now a Baptist. What was initially a tongue in cheek response to stump another pastor of a different group, turns into a doctrine that some Bible Baptist (or IFB in the Philippines) adhere to. Samples of this kind of preaching are videos like this and this.

This kind of doctrine is problematic and brings lots of questions rather than answers. Here are my five reasons why I don’t affirm this doctrine:
