Recommended books for Children

In our last discussion these books were recommended as useful tools in teaching our children scripture and values:

'My 1st Book of Christian Values' by Carine Mackenzie

Excellent for short devotions on Christian values.

'My 1st Book of Memory Verses' by Carine MacKenzie

'My 1st Book of Questions and Answers' by Carine MacKenzie

For those of you have been looking unsuccessfully for the 'Prove it Catechism' that I've recommended on this website this would be a great alternative.

This is the Recommendation by Douglas F. Kelly:

"As evangelicals, we have analysed the harmful cultural influences on our children bu have been less effective in offering positive solutions to the problem. It is a joy, therefore, to recommend very highly Carine MacKenzie's new Catechism for children.

Here is something that Christian parents, grandparents and friends can do for the character developement and wholsome spiritual growth of the young generation: teach them this catechism!

It is Biblically sound throughout; a fine and clear summation of the structure of Reformed Theology. It is both comprehensive and comprehensible. Written in very plain and current English, it wastes no words and keeps to the point at issue in each question, and is organized so that theological concepts follow each other in proper order, much like its model, the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

It presents profound turth as simply as possible. As a father of five, I deem it to be happily accessible to children. It conveys a spirit of uplifting devotion.

This catechism could make a great difference in the lives of those who learn it. May prayer is that it may be widely read.'


All these books are available at Koorong, and probably most christian book stores.
