Look Inside the Book

From boys learning Torah in synagogues to Luther teaching children his catechism to the Pilgrims carrying catechisms on the Mayflower, catechism has been a tool for Christian parents to pass on the faith. This short book by Donald van Dyken defends the practice of catechism, sketches its history, and shows how families should use catechism today.

Donald van Dyken discusses how parents can use memorization, question-and-answer sessions, songs, and more to teach their children about God, His word, and the good news of the Gospel. Whether they are teaching the Westminster shorter catechism or the details of Bible Stories, parents can and should be teaching their children the truths of the faith. More importantly, they should always keep in mind that the goal is not head knowledge, but a real, personal knowledge of our savior, Jesus Christ.

What People Are Saying

"It is hard to think of anything that would be of greater-or more lasting-benefit to Presbyterian and Reformed churches than to take heed to Van Dyken's wise counsel." -G. I. Williamson, theologian and author of Understanding the Times

"Developed societies are characterized by their clamor for temporal satisfaction. Fallen man either is consumed by the quest for personal fulfillment and/or is frantically escaping reality. We must ask ourselves: Is the church also caught in these downward patterns? Reverend Donald Van Dyken emphasizes that the hope offered from the truths of the Bible is the church’s only hope.... Rediscovering Catechism: The Art of Equipping Covenant Children gives the reader the biblical mandate, historical precedent, and the logical argument for catechizing the children of the Church." ~Tim Hart, Western Reformed Seminary Journal

Donald Van Dyken was a pastor at Trinity Church in Tri-Cities and taught catechism classes for many years. He wrote With All My Heart and Rediscovering Catechism and edited his father’s Covenantal Catechism series to encourage parents and teachers in instructing their children in the faith.

Cute and educational
Format: Board book
Besides being such a cute story, the tactile features in this book hold my one year old's attention span: the different size pages and hole cut-outs. Also good for introducing days of the week, numbers, and fruits.

Stunning Storytelling
Format: Kindle
Excellent. I read The Help on a whim all those years ago and was spellbound by the author's ability to weave a complex story across multiple narrators. When I'd heard that her second novel was coming out, I added it to my library wishlist as fast as I could. Then, the second I got word it was available, I couldn't help but immediately dive in... and, because her first novel made such an impression upon me, I had so much trust in the author's ability to deliver a story that I hadn't even bothered to read the blurb. Going in blind into the Calamity Club was a discovery! I was charmed, entertained, amused, and once again, spellbound by Stockett's ability to shift between narrators. One, a somewhat sheltered but very bright and kindhearted woman Birdie. And the other, a charming and very intelligent 11-year-old seemingly orphaned girl, Meg. But beyond this, her ability to weave together a story featuring the fringes of society, giving people -- women, of various walks of life -- a voice in an era where women might have the vote, but are still subjected to a variety of society norms, laws, and double standards, is still very compelling. I adored Meg, and I was so invested in seeing how things would turn out for her. And the strong female cast that Stockett features here only adds to the story's strengths. Having read a few comments here on length, while I agree the story is a little long and the try-fail cycle of getting the underground business off the ground may feel pointless for some, it didn't bother me and only served to showcase the strength of the women. There were so many characters in this book that one could examine closer, from the aching pain of Rory's story to the quiet pain of the accidental loss of someone struggling with emotional struggles and alcoholism to the desperation of destitution, and the lengths one might go just to survive. There's so much within these pages to mine and consider, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only critique is that I felt it ended so abruptly! I wanted just one further chapter, a glimpse of Meg's future... Still: an excellent read, and the Acknowledgements/Author's Note on the research involved in this one was one that made me think about how far we've come... and the direction of where we might go in the future.

Wonderful book! It’s intriguing, heartfelt and funny as hell. There may be a few loose ends they are too easily wrapped up but honestly, it doesn’t detract from the overall impact of the book. I have to say that the story is enhanced by the Audible version, which is something I rarely say because I usually need to see the words in print. But the two readers of the book are superb and add a lot of depth to the characters. Honestly, if there’s a movie made of this book, I will probably be disappointed in the actors who portray the characters of Birdie and Meg because they won’t be as good as Jenna Lamia and January Lavoy who narrated this book for Audible.
