The Follow and Do series teaches young children about the Six Chief Parts of the Christian faith, combining the teachings in the catechism with practical application for all aspects of daily life. This book deals with the Apostles Creed, one of the major confessional statements of the Christian faith. Children will learn about the three articles: that God the Father created us, God the Son redeems us, and God the Holy Spirit sanctifies us.

By lunchtime, one missing yellow notebook, a brand new baseball cap, animals running around the hallway, and a flooded boys bathroom forces Nick into the spotlight. After telling the truth to his best friend, Chris, Nick begins to wonder if he should come clean to the principal and the rest of the school to clear his name or remain the baddest kid in sixth grade.
