The Young Baptist's Catechism: A Beginner's Guide to the Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689

I have been going through this book with my 4th- 6th grade Sunday school class. It's so good to have a tool to expose them to words and meanings they don't hear every day - like: What is sanctification ? I write out the questions and answers with fill in the blanks or something else to get them engaged with it and then either they write the verse that goes with it below what I've written (or sometimes just to save time, I write that part in too). Either way we get into discussions about the verse and I try to tie it back into the question/answer. Some questions are easier to get through and I can make up an activity - others, I just want them to have at least heard of and later on when they are older if they hear a word like justification .... Their ears make pick it up better and they may recall or search it out more for themselves. I'm hoping they learn that the answers to questions about life are found in His Word!

We are using this in our homeschool and it's been a great addition. I love that not just scripture references are given, but the scriptures are actually written out making it quick to add it to our morning routine. We are doing one a week usually and then reading a verse that corresponds each morning. It's nice and simple enough for my 8 year old, some are a bit long for my 5 year old.

I've been looking for ways to invest in my children & have found catechism helpful. This is a great introduction to catechism for your children.

Very concise explanation with scriptural supports. Would like to order more copies

Excellent source for teaching your children bible truths! Questions and Answers for most bible questions that children need to know.

Simple and understandable for people who are not use to catechisms.

If you hold to a social trinitarianism then this book is probably a good fit. It is solidly reformed Baptist in other areas. I think this is an important doctrine, and so I personally cannot recommend this book. Keach's catechism is preferred and better regarding the distinction of the persons, inseparable operations, one divine will, and work.

I received this with a torn page. Come on now.

Nice catechism. As for content, think Westminster Shorter Catechism baptized.
