Based on its adult counterpart, this innovative question-and-answer book equips parents and Bible teachers with a tool to help middle-grade children grasp the truth of God's Word and recognize the many mistruths present in today's culture.
Where can kids turn to find the truth? The Bible, of course! The Gospel Way Catechism for Kids gives children (ages 8-12) clear, age-appropriate teaching on the core tenets of the Christian faith. With 50 foundational questions and answers, kids will build a solid understanding of God, the gospel, and their place in His story.
They'll explore big questions like:
• How do we see God and come to know Him?
• Why did God create the world?
• Who is Jesus?
• What is the mission of the church?
Each short chapter features "Table Talk" questions for family discussion and a "Prayer Practice" to help kids talk to God about what they're learning.
As they move through the catechism, kids will grow in biblical literacy, spiritual confidence, and a deeper relationship with God.
Based on its adult counterpart, this innovative question-and-answer book helps middle-grade readers grasp the truth of God's Word.
