If you're looking for a brief, concise explanation of the Mennonite faith, best look elsewhere. This pseudo-leather bound, gilt-lettered version has a photostat of the original lettering in the second half of the book and is essentially a collector's item for hoarders of Mennonite trivia. A good suggestion for graduations, baptisms, and other events where gifts are given that will gather dust for years to come. For a solid and readable official creed, I suggest Herald Press's 1995 paperback confession for $4.99 (ISBN 0836190432).
