What Does an Apple have in Common with God?

We've had a lot of great discussions in 5th grade during Bible class. While studying a very hairy desert man....

..Students asked about the TRINITY.

The Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - can be a very difficult subject to teach. So, we read this book...

It really seemed to help. Here's what the book talked about:

Just as the apple consists of three parts:

•the skin
•the flesh
•the seeds

...it is still one apple.

God had three persons:

•Father,
•Son
•Holy Spirit

...but He is one God.
