This was a decent retelling of the life of John the Baptist. It is quite true to the Biblical account.
The only problem I had with it was one or two sentences were rather ambiguous as to the purpose of baptism. Salvation by faith alone is clearly taught, but the wording used for baptism could make some think that it has some part in salvation.
