The Catechism Illustrated

This is the perfect teaching resource for children as well as an introduction to the basics of our Catholic faith for adults. Beautifully illustrated in a rich style reminiscent of medieval illuminations, this book follws the outline of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with sections on the Creed, the Sacraments, the Commandments and Prayer.

An Illustrated Catechism for Children is a series of questions and answers based on traditional Christian catechisms designed to help teach children biblical truths. Book One: Who Made You? is geared toward younger children and covers the first 14 questions and answers. Each answer page includes a relevant Bible verse that can be used for memorization and as a launching pad for deeper study and application. The little questions, big answers, bright colors and fun illustrations all assist parents in shaping their children's worldview and building a biblical foundation for their lives. This book can be a fun supplement to help with the catechizing process at home or just to reinforce what children are already learning at church. With its simple wording, children will soon be answering the questions before they even turn the page.

"This unusual volume follows the doctrinal structure of the classic Puritan catechism, expanding each doctrinal point not with exposition, as is customary, but with many factual stories well selected by the author from a wide range of sources. Thus such subjects as Providence, Prayer and The Ten Commandments are illuminated with telling and sometimes fascinating narratives. First published in 1828, and passing through many editions in the last century, the book has been revised for greater usefulness today.Whitecross, a schoolmaster, knew well what would gain the attention of the young and the book can be recommended for children of ten and over; it will also be of general interest to all readers and a valuable treasury of illustrative matter for the many in the home, school or church who have the responsibility of making Biblical teaching interesting."
