The Shorter Catechism Illustrated

Description

This helpful volume follows the doctrinal structure of the Shorter Catechism 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.

John Whitecross’s 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.

Whitecross was a schoolmaster who knew how to gain people’s 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.
