Book Description<\/h2>\n

This helpful volume follows the doctrinal structure of the Shorter Catechism<\/a> but expands each doctrinal point with a wide range of factual stories that illustrate or apply the teaching. Subjects like providence, prayer, and the Ten Commandments are illuminated with telling, moving, and sometimes fascinating narratives.<\/p>\n

John Whitecross\u2019s book stands out as a resource that will assist to memorably teach the catechism in a family, small group, or formal setting. First published in 1828, the book has been gently modernized.<\/p>\n

Whitecross was a schoolmaster who knew how to gain people\u2019s attention and help them retain what they learned. This book can also be recommended reading for children aged ten and over. It is a valuable treasury of illustrative matter for all those who have the responsibility of making biblical teaching interesting in home, school, or church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
