Publisher's Synopsis
Centuries ago, catechesis was the norm for both adults and children, and it is still just as effective. Kids love to memorize and recite during their formative years, and they are great at it! This helps to build a strong foundation of essential information that will lead them to better understanding later.
A Children's Catechesis is a 40-week curriculum guide for teachers and families. Each week's information will be introduced on Sunday and is intended to be reviewed at home during the week. More than a teaching aid for Sunday school, most importantly, A Children's Catechesis will become a handy tool to use at home every week. With the church's support, the information in this guide will help children mature in the Christian faith through classical catechetical instruction. Children are never too young and parents are never too old to learn the simple truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Proverbs instructs, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it" (22:6). Karina Taylor has written an accessible catechism for both kids and parents that provides a firm foundation for families to grow together in their faith.-Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins, Author of Liturgical Mission As a parent, I can't recommend A Children's Catechesis enough. It is a game-changer for my daughters' faith journeys and our family's mutual spiritual growth. This curriculum beautifully blends the richness of the Anglican tradition with age-friendly instruction, making the formation of faith accessible and doable. I am grateful for the strong foundation it is providing for our family. If you want your child to develop a deep knowledge of the faith and personal connection with Christ, this curriculum is the way to go.
-Rev. Dr. Jonathan Powers, Asbury Theological Seminary Our contemporary approaches to children's formation in the faith tends to have too much of its focus on teaching technology, theories of childhood development, and cultural/personal relevance. Oftentimes this focus can dilute the biblical and historic content and teaching methods that have been so effective for centuries. One of the strengths of A Children's Catechesis by Karina Ingrid Taylor is the convergence of Scripture, catechism, and biblical history included in each lesson. This workbook offers parents, teachers, and ministers a historically proven tool for the formation of children in the basics of the Christian faith.
-Rev. Dr. Hule Goddard
