Recommendations- Catechisms May 17, 2007
Posted by Erin in : Family Worship Series , trackbackJoe,
So we are nearing the end of our family worship series. In some ways it feels like we just started and hard to believe a month has gone by so quickly!
Today i was planning on discussing recommendations for catechisms. But in finding this article from someone from Bethlehem Baptist (the church John Piper is the preaching pastor at), I probably could not say anything better than what was said here. It gives you 10 reasons for why your children should be taught a catechism and then reviews 4 different catechism books.
We personally use Susan Hunt’s “Big Truths for Little Kids.” Although Abby does not quite get the application part of the stories yet, she enjoys the stories and most importantly is able to memorize the questions.
Again, I would emphasize not to think your children are too young to be memorizing the catechism. Great fruit can come from what is stored in the heart at a young age. God will cause the growth, but we must plant and water!
Planting and watering through the catechism with you,
Erin
