Music
God-honoring and faith-building music has been an important part of our worship, sharing, and rejoicing in our faith for centuries. Part of seeing to it that the Word of Christ richly dwells within us, according to the Apostle Paul, is “speaking to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.” But of course, we do this with the preeminent aim in mind of “making melody in our hearts to the Lord”, as well as offering up fruitful praise with our lips. The CDs you’ll find in this section of Grace & Truth Books are rarely found in most Christian bookstores today, as likewise, the music those stores have on their shelves is unlikely to be found here at our site. Our aim is to offer our customers only that which we have found genuinely honors God and builds up His people in the faith.

The Westminster Shorter Catechism Songs – Full 4-CD set (Holly Dutton)
$34.00The complete set of all four CDs by Holly Dutton, based on the questions and answers of the Westminster Shorter Catechism: a song for each of the 107 questions!
These CDs are the ingenious creation of Mrs. Holly Dutton, who apparently and clearly understands that we all learn material by heart better when there’s music to go along with it. Memorization always comes easier with musical accompaniment! Add to this the factor that your children don’t normally speak in the sentence structure designed by the writers of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.
So Holly has designed these simple melodies with acoustic guitar, featuring the questions and answers, verbatim, of the Westminster Shorter Catechism in musical form. With her own melodious voice, the songs will be simple and engaging for children and adults to sing comfortably. This project is also a must-have for Bible college and seminary students who want to master the doctrine of the Shorter Catechism! You know that music makes truth more stick-able to you, too – it’s not just for little children.
Each question and answer is sung and played through twice on the CD.
