From the Introduction by Kathy Keller:
“Catechism – with our kids?” Years ago that was my response when someone suggested that we begin doing a catechism with our very young, very active boys. But, to my amazement, it was a truly wonderful experience.
We used The Catechism for Young Children, a highly simplified version based on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. The first questions are very easy, and the answers so short that even an eighteen-month-old can answer triumphantly, “God!” when asked “Who made you?”, and “Everything!” to the second question, “What else did God make?” We discovered that our kids loved the question/answer dynamic; to them it was almost a game, through which they could experience a legitimate sense of achievement.
Read more of Kathy’s comments about the value of catechizing, practical tips for it, and real-life testimony about the challenges and how to overcome them, in the Introduction of the book!
The 52 Questions & Answers are arranged under the three major headings of:
- God, Creation & Fall, Law
- Christ, Redemption, Grace
- Spirit, Restoration, Growing in Grace
