'Children can understand doctrine and apply it to their lives.' The authors aim to help parents educate their children in the fundamentals of Christian doctrine and are concerned especially to provide a structured, simple approach to teaching children aged eight and over.
The book is, essentially, a companion to the Children's Catechism (adapted from the Westminster Shorter Catechism). It provides Bible stories and stories from church history to illustrate the truths being taught. This is the second in a two-volume series covering the whole catechism. The catechism questions (referred to as 'questions to learn') are grouped into doctrinal points with a Bible story and a story from church history to illustrate each section. Each story ends with a number of discussion questions.
