Since its first appearance more than a generation ago, this little book by two ministers in the Christian Reformed Church has introduced thousands of young people to the major teachings of the Bible.
The publication of this revised edition is intended to help meet a continuing need expressed by Christian parents, pastors, and teachers for systematic instructional material explaining the great truths of the Christian religion.
Minor revisions have been introduced into the memory work, lessons, and discussion questions to make them easier, but the substance and plan of the material has not been altered. Frequent references to biblical texts and stories attest to the thorough scriptural foundation of this material.
