User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Training Hearts
The book got here in timely fashion. It was in great shape. We are enjoying it as a family!

5 Stars Great book to know about God
This is a really great book if you want to know about God. The book, scripture-based, explained every single aspect of God. I bought my first one at my church, then I ordered another one at Amazon to send it to my sister. My sister is raving about it, too.

5 Stars What a blessing!
I have been searching for a resource to assist in teaching my children (and studying myself) the Shorter Chatechism. Our family has been using this resource for the first week and so far I am very impressed. It is in language that is accessible for my 7-year old, and yet has meaning that is deep enough to keep my wife and me both interested.

After the first week when we took Sunday off, my younger daughter expressed disappointment that we didn't read from it. THAT is a blessing!

5 Stars Must have for home discipleship!
This is one of the best home discipleship books written. Get your children and family grounded in Truth as soon as possible! It is your job and responcibility, not the church's.

4 Stars Excellent book for devotions…with a caveat
This book is an excellent resource for doing daily family devotions. It devotes a week to each question of the Shorter Catechism, using each day (less Sunday) to focus a particular aspect of the question. I've found that it's an easy way for kids to understand the fundamentals of the faith (even my 5-year-old understands it!).

The caveat is that, as another reviewer mentioned, one of the Catechism questions teaches infant baptism. I'm not sure how we'll handle that when we get to it (it's towards the end of the book). We might still go through it but use the Scriptures to explain how infant baptism is not sufficient for cleansing sins and how baptism is the New Testament always involved adults (Gospels, Acts).

The rest of the book is tremendous. If you can handle the section on infant baptism, you'll find the rest of the book to be very valuable in helping your kids to develop a biblical worldview. It's not just important to know WHAT to believe but WHY they believe it so that they be discerning in life.
