Shorter Catechism Devotions: Timeless Truths for Today

by Robert D Cathcart

Examine what Christians believe in this daily devotional on the Westminster Shorter Catechism for young adults

The Westminster Shorter Catechism has guided Christians for almost 400 years. In question–and–answer format, the first thirty–eight questions summarise what the Bible says about God, and the following sixty–nine questions how Christians should live.

In 66 devotions, Robert Cathcart helps teens explore each question and answer of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

Each devotional provides an explanation in clear, modern terms, along with Scripture references. There are Challenge Questions, to encourage readers to think about how that day’s question affects their own life, and a guided prayer.

This is a fantastic book for those needing a deeper look into the Shorter Catechism and/or a book for family devotionals. Each Question is handled with solid theology, scripture references & connections, as well as thoughtful questions for the family or individual to answer. The content of each question's explanation is applicable to children as well as adults. We are beginning this book as a family, and as parents, we are grateful that the language is approachable and easily grasped by even our youngest. Definitely recommend this book as it gives structure, truth, and a great devotional routine to turn your eyes upon Jesus.

I so enjoyed reading this family worship book on the Shorter Catechism written by my Dad! It is a great length for reading just before bed as a devotional with great discussion questions and prayers.
