Without a doubt, this is one of our most treasured books, containing brief devotions for use in family worship that comprehensively cover a full year!

Author Starr Meade, a teacher of Bible and Latin at Redeemer Christian School in Mesa, Arizona, is well-versed in directing children’s ministries and teaching children the Word of God. That background has equipped her for writing a superbly helpful volume.

The book opens up one question per week from the Westminster Shorter Catechism. But this is not first and foremost a study guide of that catechism – rather, it is theologically rich devotions from Scripture, starting with catechism questions to lead into biblical doctrine. The brief readings point parents to related Scriptures and suggest questions to ask children so they may consider what God’s Word says about that doctrinal theme. At the same time, the Scripture readings are guided by the Catechism so that readers can learn a well-rounded Biblical system of faith and practice. The strength of this book is that it helpfully blends catechism learning with Scripture reading.
