I’ve memorized the whole thing!

Just kidding. It has been very enjoyable to chew away at it slowly though.

This is great for a night time read, when you don’t have a lot of time to read, family worship, or if you like or prefer bite-sized systematic theology mixed with history. It has been a pleasure to read them to my daughter during bedtime and teach the timeless truths of Scripture.

Nettles, Thomas J. : Teaching Truth, Training Hearts: The Study of Catechism in Baptist Life (G) (222pgs) I enjoyed this book it has the history and the text of 6 different Baptist catechism. If children were taught these again I believe it would make a big difference in the health of our churches. Great read!
