  The Good News We Almost Forgot

  Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism

  by Kevin DeYoung

  If there is "nothing new under the sun" then perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember .  The truth of the gospel is still contained within vintage faith statements.  Within creeds and catechisms we can have our faith strengthened, our knowledge broadened, and our love for Jesus deepened.    In The Good News We Almost Forgot Kevin DeYoung explores... (more)

  Grounded in the Gospel

  Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way

  by J. I. Packer, Gary Parrett

  Historically, the church's ministry of grounding new believers in the essentials of the faith has been known as catechesis--systematic instruction in faith foundations, including what we believe, how we pray and worship, and how we conduct our lives.
