I Belong to God: A Catechism for Covenant Children
The real heart of catechesis is to form in our children a covenantal identity, a sense of belonging to God and to the church. Our children need to be taught who they are in Christ so they can live faithfully in the church, family, and world. We must train our children in such a way that their whole lives will be a grand Amen to their baptisms.
This handy little book is a great resource for the home, Sunday School, or Christian School.
