By Selah Helms and Susan Thompson
Joshua Press, Ontario. 208 pages
ISBN 1 8934400 02 X

This book calls itself an historical companion to the Children's Catechism. Taking a few questions at a time, it illustrates the teaching by two stories, one biblical, and one from church history.

There are beautiful pencil-drawing illustrations. It is suitable for family prayers with able children in the 8-13 year-old category. The Scripture stories are accurately and imaginatively told; the church history stories tend towards being a 'great moments' and 'Who's who' directory of the last 2000 years - Athanasius, Spurgeon, etc.
