What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"In my home parish, one teacher noticed that the people of God in The Great Family have stars on them and welled up with tears. The illustrations are powerful. I know my church is planning to order multiple copies to give out at baptisms and for new families."
—W. Lee Dickson, MBA, President, Godly Play Board of Directors
